Hi,
I think your event handler "StageChangez()" is called before your Panel title is set. Try first change title, then change currentState.
Oh yes my mistake, you are adding it when state changes. You can put your Panel's title change in StageChangez() and after that you can do some actions.
Regards,
Adrian
