It is possible to make some modifications before a dialog is shown. An example is to set the dialog title that is shown in the title bar of a dialog window. This can be achieved by setting the Title property at the dialog model through the com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet interface:

 oDialogModel = oDialog.getModel()
 oDialogModel.setPropertyValue("Title", "My Title")

or shorter

 oDialog.Model.Title = "My Title"

Another approach is to use the setTitle method of the com.sun.star.awt.XDialog interface:

 oDialog.setTitle("My Title")

or

 oDialog.Title = "My Title"

Another property is the BackgroundColor property that sets a different background color for the dialog.
