    It is easy to change the title of a module programmatically, something like

    private void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
       ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle = "Whatever";
    }

    But how can I do this for a control (eg. "Edit"). I know it is possible in the resource file by adding a key "ControlTitle_edit", but is this possible from the code behind somehow?

    Happy DNNing!

      Hmmm... That's a fantastic question. I've never tried to do that. I've only used the resource file to update that value. 🤔

        I found somethng in an old code I wrote some years ago:

        protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
        {
           ModuleContext.Configuration.ModuleTitle = Localization.GetString("Whatever", LocalResourceFile);
           base.OnPreRender(e);
        }

        I am sure that worked at the time I wrote it, but it does not anymore. I tried to use this instead of the code above:

        protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
        {
           ModuleContext.Configuration.ModuleControl.ControlTitle = Localization.GetString("Whatever", LocalResourceFile);
           base.OnPreRender(e);
        }

        No luck. Anyone who can bring light into the darkness? Is it a bug?

        Happy DNNing!

          I recently had this exact same need and found what you have works in the OnInit function: 
          
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
     ModuleConfiguration.ModuleControl.ControlTitle = Localization.GetString("Whatever", LocalResourceFile);
     base.OnInit(e);
}

          Be sure to have Whatever.Text as the name for the string in the .resx file.

            Oh wow... Now that I'm seeing this code sample, it's reminding me that this is something I USED to know!  🤣
