Display Windows Name ?

[pierrotsc]

I am using a lof of MDIchild window in my application. I would like to be able to switch from one another by checking the its window name under the windows menu where i have, cascade, tile and arrange icons.
How would I do that?
Thanks.

MDI parent form Main Menu, again
The Window menu of an MDI application should also include a list of the MDI child windows. As everything in Delphi, this is easy to accomplish. Assume that we have a menu item named ChildList on a MDI form. To add the list of MDI child windows, set:

frMain.WindowMenu := ChildList;

Delphi will automatically display the list of the MDI child form captions, and even put a check mark next to the one that most recently was active.

Note: In Delphi 5, there is a known bug with WindowMenu property (captions won't display). Work around: set AutoHotkeys and AutoLineReduction properties to maManual, the maAutomatic value seems to interfere with the way Windows handles the Window menu in MDI apps. For some reason if you have a separator on that menu, it won't work at all (from what I remember) and the list gets a little weird when you change the form's caption at runtime, the MDI children disappear until another form is made.

Thanks. I downloaded the code. His code does not show the list of mdi window. I tried to add the frmain.windowmenu:=childlist in the formcreate event but that did not work.
Do you know where I should add the frmain.windowmenu:=childlist?
Thanks.

Ah - even easier.

Set the Parent Form's WindowMenu property to the menu item where you want Delphi to track the list for you.
