How to display caption on floating dialogbars
I think the problem is that if you change the caption while the toolbar is
floating, it does not reflect it immediately. IIRC, you would need to dock
and undock it in order to see it. This was asked couple of months ago and I
posted the reply to it after testing it in a dummy project. You may want to
search it on Google in this newsgroup.
