Resizing a MDI MainFrame to a single child frame

Environment: VC 4.1, NT 3.51 and Win 95, 100 MHz Pentium 32 MB

I have an app that will have at least two FormViews.  Only one view will be 
displayable at a time.  I want the MainFrame to shrink to wrap the child 
frame.  The child frame has already been sized to perfectly fit the form 
view using ResizeParentToFit.

I figure this will require some call to SetWindowPos or SetWindowPlacement, 
but I'm not entirely sure where would be a good place to put it!

Thanks,

If you make your app SDI, you won't have to worry about this. The "collections"
sample that comes with VC4.0 shows one way to have multiple views in an SDI app.
If you actually have multiple documents, you can still use SDI - it is possible 
to register
multiple doc templates (in InitApp, I think).

Thanks.

So, this is an MDI application?  If you want this maximized-snap-fit thing 
happening, what would be the difference between your MDI application with that 
feature and an SDI application that can show two views?  Maybe you should have 
a look at the ENROLL sample to see how little difference there would be.

I guess I would do it ActivateFrame().
