Does this work on a poster screen?

It's listed on page 39 of the component reference -
Void SetTitle(String title)
Set the title for the screen to the specified string.

It works for dialog boxes, paragraph screens, and the registration screens - but when I set it to something in a poster screen nothing appears to change.

If I'm not mistaken, SetTitle(title) on the roPosterScreen is basically the same as calling SetBreadcrumbText(title, ""), so if you have both a SetTitle and a SetBreadcrumbText, the latter is probably overwriting the former.

No, SetTitle() does not work on the roPosterScreen and roSpringBoardScreen (). It's a bug.

Instead, you have to use:

	screen.SetBreadcrumbEnabled (true)
	screen.SetBreadcrumbText (title, "")

That is curious. It definitely used to work the way I described above, as I actually have at least one channel that uses it that way, so it looks like it was broken at some point after that.

Thankyou. I was just curious where it showed up on the screen - if it shows up in the breadcrumb area then nothing is really lost.
