MDI without Doc/view

[CodeMak]

HI i want to use different captions for each MDI child window i create. i am creating it using CreateNewChild function. also how to assign some values for each child i create so that i can iterate over them or identify them using that value. Thanx'n'advance

I made it (Inside DOC/VIEW architechture) in the CChildFrm::PreCreateWindow (CREATESTRUCT &cs). If you have that class, perfect. If not... take a look into your docu to that function, maybe it helps you to find out how to do it.

This is more or less what I made.

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;

// Set the configuration for the different Views
extern CFPSDoc\* m\_pDoc;

;
if ((m_pDoc) && (m_pDoc->m_szNewFrameName != ""))
{ cs.style = WS_SYSMENU | WS_CAPTION | WS_OVERLAPPED; //This is the main View (CScrollView)
;
//All following type of views are from CFormView derived
if (m_pDoc->m_szNewFrameName == "ViewType1")
{ int nMax = 0;
if (m_pDoc->m_cmlMyList1.GetCount () >= m_pDoc->m_cmlMyList2.GetCount ())
nMax = m_pDoc->m_cmlMyList1.GetCount ();
else
nMax = m_pDoc->m_cmlMyList2.GetCount ();

		cs.cx = 500;
		cs.cy =  (40 + (25 \* nMax));   //Variable Frame height according to number of elements
		m\_pDoc->m\_szNewFrameName = "This is the Type of view 1 in project \\"" + m\_pDoc->GetTitle () + "\\"";
	}
	else if (m\_pDoc->m\_szNewFrameName == "ViewType2")
	{	cs.cx = 528;				cs.cy =  322;
		m\_pDoc->m\_szNewFrameName = "Second type of View in project \\"" + m\_pDoc->GetTitle () + "\\"";
		cs.style = cs.style | WS\_MINIMIZEBOX;
	}
	else if (m\_pDoc->m\_szNewFrameName == "ViewType2\_Not\_Visible")
	{	cs.cx = 1;				cs.cy =  1;
		m\_pDoc->m\_szNewFrameName = "";
		cs.style = cs.style | WS\_MINIMIZE; //this is to have access to some functions coded in the view of second type, but without having the view itself.
	}
	else if (m\_pDoc->m\_pObj1 || m\_pDoc->m\_pObj2)  //if one particular element is selected
	{	cs.cx = 415;				cs.cy = 260;
		cs.style = cs.style | WS\_MINIMIZEBOX;
	}
	else if ((m\_pDoc->m\_pObj3) && (m\_pDoc->m\_pObj3->m\_nType == 0)) //if the other type of element is from one subtype
	{	cs.cx = 517;				cs.cy = 421;
		cs.style = cs.style | WS\_MINIMIZEBOX;
	}
	else if ((m\_pDoc->m\_pObj3) && (m\_pDoc->m\_pObj3->m\_nType == 2)) //if the other subtype
	{	cs.cx = 610;				cs.cy = 435;
		cs.style = cs.style | WS\_MINIMIZEBOX;
	}

;
cs.lpszName = m_pDoc->m_szNewFrameName; //Assigning the correspondent title to the frame
}
return TRUE;
}

This is what I use to configure the different type of views that may be opened. Up to 50 different views in 6 different configurations. Was that what you were asking for? If not... sorry. I didn't understand what you told me the ";" are used just to avoid the cancellation of empty lines
