Leigh,

Timing is everything! I spent an interesting hour or so testing both your method and my revised one to determine at what point in the page life-cycle the displayed module title could be altered from within a module control's code. In DotNetNuke 4 and 5 (not sure about 5.6.3), my :"hack" was necessary as the text of the DNN container title object was getting set from the ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle property during the title object's Page_Load event. Simply changing the value of ModuleTitle any later than a module control's Page_Init event would be too late in the life-cycle hence the need for the brute-force hack.

In DNN 6.x (and late 5.x) there were many core changes in the way pane, container and module injection was done. In addition to changing the control ID for the dnnTitle control in the Title.ascx container object, the setting of title lable's Text property from the ModuleTitle property is now (and more correctly so) delayed until the Title object's PreRender event. That's good news in that it allows a module control to very simply alter it's displayed title using code such as yours (or the equivalent ModuleContext.Configuration.ModuleTitle = "My New Module Title") during handling of it's Page_Init, Page_Load, and control post-back events - any time up to the PreRender event. Now, if you do need to change the displayed title during PreRender handling you will still have to use my "hack" - but I can't think of any reason why you would have to wait until PreRender.

So, in short for DNN 6.x,  use Leigh's code to change a displayed module title "on the fly".
