Why are you creating the same exact view again?

OK, I have successfully created multiple views on opening a new
document, using the following (from one of the links above):

void CAnalyzeDoc::CreateAdditionalView(char viewName[])
{
   CMDIFrameWnd* pMainFrame = reinterpret_cast<CMDIFrameWnd*>
(AfxGetMainWnd());
   CMDIChildWnd* pActiveChild = pMainFrame->MDIGetActive();
   CDocTemplate* pTemplate = GetDocTemplate();
   CFrameWnd* pFrame = pTemplate->CreateNewFrame(this,
pActiveChild);

   pTemplate->InitialUpdateFrame(pFrame, this);
   pActiveChild = pMainFrame->MDIGetActive();
   CView* pView = pActiveChild->GetActiveView();
}

This is called multiple times from OnNewDocument to create extra
views, and it works.
Now I need to title each view differently. At the moment, each view is
titled [doc name]:n, where n=1,2,... . I need to display my own title.
SetWindowText and SetTitle apparently do nothing.

In the OnDraw, I need to know which view window I am drawing. I
suppose there is some way to determine that, but it would be most
convenient if I could set (or get) an ID number when I create the view.
