Re: How to modify the caption text for a MDI-application.

Ok here is the deal the only way I could accomplish this was to use OnSize
to detect when the child frame is maximizing and restoring, and depending on
that either set the title to blank or what we want to display. When the
window is maximizing we set the title to blank and when it is restoring set
it to show the title.

I am not 100% that it will work in all cases but worked ok while I played
with it.

void CChildFrame::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
   CMDIChildWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

   if (nType == SIZE_MAXIMIZED)
   {
      SetWindowText("");
   }
   if (nType == SIZE_RESTORED || nType == SIZE_MINIMIZED)
   {
      SetWindowText("This is the view");
   }
}

I tried to remove the FWS_ADDTOTITLE flag from the child frame after the
call to PreCreateWindow but what that did was competely remove the child
frames title, maximized or not. (seems a little wierd to me!)

Also you can keep your ChildFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle(BOOL) method, in order
to set the title when the window comes up for the first time.
