PatientL.GetMainTitle()

Note that it already has a conveniently placed hook:

Code: Select all

Plugins.HookAddCode(null,"PatientL.GetMainTitle_beginning",parameters);

It is on the same form .?

No, it's located in OpenDental > Data Interface > PatientL.cs

This is because you can change the current patient selected from all over the program and we need to update the main title of the application with that patient's information. This class was just a nice central location to get that done.

The easiest way is to set the SoftwareName preference within the preference table to whatever you want the software name to display. This will only help the display from within Open Dental.
Changing the actual executable would require somthing along the lines of compiling your own executable where you have renamed the project so that other projects and dlls are not looking for OpenDental.exe
