Hi Markus

Assign the text property to a context attribute of type string.

you can change the text property in the init method of the view or in any method you create in that view as follows.

wdContext.currentContextElement.set<Context attributename>(<caption text to be displayed>)

1. The simplest approach: bind <i>text</i> property of TabHeader to context attribute and manipulate attribute value;

2. More complex: in wdDoModifyView do the following:

final IWDCaption tabHeader = (IWDCaption)view.getElement("<tabHeaderID>"); 
tabHeader.setText("Whatever you want");

Addition to Valery's correct answers:

The second approach is not recommended for manipulating UI element properties because it may lead to view layout updates.
