Rename Title window
|

Hi,
In a dialog form I can modify the title by the function SetWindowText(..) on the method OnInitDialog(...) but when I've tried to do the same work on a child form window on the method OnInitialUpdate(...) it doesn't work.
Why?
Thanks...

Hi,
I suppose you mean a child window in a MDI mainframe application. One way that works is editing the resource file directly. Go to the following section:
STRINGTABLE PRELOAD DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
IDR_MAINFRAME "<this is the title of the Parent Window"
IDR_MDIAPPTYPE "\n<modify here>\n<modify here>"
END
where it says <modify here> enter the title you want for you window. This seems to work. Hope it helps.
Peter

Ok, It seem works!
Explain me best. When I open a child window named 'router' on the title bar appear 'router1'. If I open another window the title is 'router2'. I don't want this. Is It possible to set the title by code?
thanks

Hi,
I'm working on it, I never thought something that should be so simple is so difficult. I let you know when I come up with something. Anyone out there to help with this one, I would like to know too.

Hi,
It's me again, If you create an OnPaint function in the CChildFrame class, and put:
this->SetWindowText(<your title>);
in the paint event handler, if will work. If you want different child windows instead of instances of the same class, you will have to create a class for each child window with the CMDIChildWindow as the base class.
Hope this helps. I suppose this is the problem using the a Wizard instead of coding from scratch.
Regards
Peter

Hi,
I will try your tip.
I have found another method. You must overwrite the method SetTitle on CDocument class so
void CTestDoc::SetTitle(LPCTSTR lpszTitle)
{
CDocument::SetTitle("agenore");
}
It works fine.
One problem, two solutions...... good!!!
