I can change the module title no problem - but i need to add a webcontrol next to the module title (a link button) has anybody ever done that ?

well yeah i could add a hyperlink in there not really much of an issue there

I was trying this in the page_init of my module and feel i am sort of there

Try

          
                Dim aTitleObject As Panel = CType(Me.Parent, Panel)

                Response.Write(aTitleObject.FindControl("dnnTITLE").ClientID)
                Response.Write(aTitleObject.FindControl("dnnTITLE").GetType.ToString)
                'Response.Write(aTitleObject.Controls)
            Catch ex As Exception
                Response.Write(ex)
            End Try

Note that "dnnTitle" is the id of title control in the container skin

but now i get the type of 'ASP.admin_containers_title_ascx'  and not really sure how to cast that so i can find the control inside of it to be able to add a control into the dnnlabel there - any ideas

If anybody needs to do this here you go - the only problem is you have to know the control id - but maybe my iterating through the controls in the atitleobject panel you could find it

anyway this is rough but seems to work

Try
                Dim aTitleObject As Panel = CType(Me.Parent, Panel)
                Dim multiplecontrols As System.Web.UI.ControlCollection = aTitleObject.FindControl("dnnTitle").Controls
                Dim aControl As Control = aTitleObject.FindControl("dnnTitle")
                Dim bPanel As LinkButton = New LinkButton
                bPanel.Text = "this is a linkbutton"
                aControl.Controls.AddAt(0, bPanel)
            Catch ex As Exception
                Response.Write(ex)
            End Try
