Application Title in MDI Application
-
From what i've understood, the mainframe title is stored in the string table. How can i change it at runtime? Here's what i want to do: Let's say the application title is MyApp. For some reasons it becomes MyApp USERID. Doing this for the main window is easy with setwindowtext, but when i open a document it switches back to MyApp and the title switches from "MyApp USERID" to "My App - Document1" How do i change it so that it doesn't change back?

CDocument::SetTitle. Read the docs too.

I was talking about the main window title. I would have to use CDocument::SetTitle() for every document that i open and...that's a bit too much

That's how it's to be done in DV architecture. If you want to force a different behavior override
UpdateFrameTitleForDocumentwhich again is not a virtual function. You would like to look upFWS_ADDTOTITLEandFWS_PREFIXTITLE.

If its not virtual, how different behaviour can be forced ?

One line of code is too much. :confused: How so?

Override
CFrameWnd::OnUpdateFrameTitle(). The application framework calls this method whenever it needs to update the frame's caption. On-demand updating is preferred to setting a modified title. (Why? Because it reduces the chance of programmer error and centralizes the title logic to a single location.) /raviThis is your brain on Celcius Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com
