Hi Mayca

Explorer Window

I haven't tried controlling the size of the elements in the Explorer window myself through MapBasic.

I think what you need to look into is the Docking Manager. There are more details about this in the MapInfo Pro Extensibility Reference Help System. You can find this help file in your MapBasic installation folder and in the Help dropdown in SQL Window.

I have only so far played with the tab groups for arranging document window. The example below expect one window and will create a new window in a new horizontal tab group.

Include "IMapInfoPro.def"Include "Enums.def"Include "MapBasic.def"Declare Sub MainSub MainDim	theMapInfoPro As ThisDim	thsDockingManager As ThisDim	thsWindow As ThisDim	rptWindow As RefPtr	'Get MIPro interface	theMapInfoPro		= SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_IMAPINFOAPPLICATION)	thsDockingManager	= GetDockingManager(theMapInfoPro)	Print "thsDockingManager: " & thsDockingManager	Map From TableInfo(1, TAB_INFO_NAME)	thsWindow = GetDockingManagerFrontDocumentWindow(thsDockingManager)	rptWindow = thsWindow	rptWindow = GetWinInfoWindowId(thsWindow)	Print "rptWindow: " & rptWindow	Print "FrontWindow(): " & FrontWindow()	Call DockingManagerCreateTabGroup(thsDockingManager, thsWindow, Orient_Horizontal)'	Call SetDockingManagerProperty (thsDockingManager, thsWindow, "State", "Dock")'	Call SetDockingManagerProperty (thsDockingManager, thsWindow, "DesiredWidthInDockedMode", "1000")'	Note "Now changing width to 2000"'	Call SetDockingManagerProperty (thsDockingManager, thsWindow, "DesiredWidthInDockedMode", "2000")'	Note "Now locking the window from being closed"	Call SetDockingManagerProperty (thsDockingManager, thsWindow, "CanClose", "False")End Sub

The size of the elements in the Explorer window can also be saved across sessions. You can enable/disable this through the (Workspace) Explorer preferences.

MapInfo Pro Window Title

The title of the MapInfo Pro window is typically controlled by the active workspace. If you save your work into a workspace, the name of the workspace will appear in the window title.

You can also apply a custom name rising the Set Window statement:

Set Window 1011 Title "Peters GIS"

The Window ID 1011 refers to the MapInfo Pro Application window.
