MDI apps

[WilliamGS]

Hi all, please help me with:

1) How can I change the app tittle? (not the project tittle), that tittle showed in the tittle bar, in the AfxMessageBox tittle, etc. I changed the IDR_MAINFRAME resource but it does not work.

2) How can I restore the normal state of a minimized view? pFrame->MDIMaximize() expands the view in the whole client area, I need return the view state just before it was minimized.

3) Where can I find information about creating and manage MDI apps? Docs templates, windows and views tittles, etc.

4) I have a MDI app, it works with a database, I want to use only one instance of my document (CMyDoc) with several views, with normal DocsTemplates, every time I use a DocTemplate for a new view, it creates a new instance of CMyDoc, but I want only one. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,

William GS

1)
Change the AFX_IDS_APP_TITLE resource instead.

2)
Doesn't ShowWindow(SW_RESTORE); work?

3)
MSDN contains a lot info. The book 'Inside VC++' is a good start in MFC, though a bit old (MFC ver 4.2).

4)
To create new instances of the same view is really trivial, just see what the menu item Window->New window does.

To create new instances of different view types dynamically is tricky. Is possible, consider using CSplittWnd. It's the easiest way of having multiple view types.
