Thanks for your answer, But I did what basementman suggested: I'm using SetTitle() and it's working fine. Here's where I put the function, in my CLaserPlusBeta1Doc.cpp: BOOL CLaserPlusBeta1Doc::OnNewDocument() { if (!CDocument::OnNewDocument()) return FALSE; // TODO: add reinitialization code here // (SDI documents will reuse this document) CDocument::SetTitle("MyTitle"); return TRUE; } I don't need to specify a path name, so it's easier this way.

Thank You Ravi, I knew it was simple, but...! hehe It worked with GetParent();

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for! I'm a beginner, so I'm learning... :-) Dave

Thanks, that's exactly my problem! I did a fast count of 249 controls! I'll redesign my dialog.

You may be able to do it by overriding the controlling windows PreTranslateMessage function and putting in this code: if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN) { CWnd *pWnd = GetFocus(); if (pWnd) { if (pWnd->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CEdit))) { switch (wParam) { case VK_UP: pWnd = pWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDPREV); if (pWnd) pWnd->SetFocus(); return TRUE; case VK_DOWN: pWnd = pWnd->GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT); if (pWnd) pWnd->SetFocus(); return TRUE; } } } } // call the base class here I just threw this code together after a quick scan of the MSDN. It may work as required. Roger Allen - Sonork 100.10016 Roger Wright: Remember to buckle up, please, and encourage your friends to do the same.
