UNTITLED vs TITLED with OnFileNew()

Praveen -- msa3431@msbg.med.ge.com

Hi,

Environment : MS-Windows 3.1 and Visual C++ 1.50

In response to FILE/NEW, i am bringing up a list of TEMPLATES (files) to be opened. 
After the selection i am displaying the text in the TEMPLATE (file) in a CEditView 
window. 

In CMyDocument::OnNewDocument, i am changing the default caption (UNTITLED:N) to the 
name of the TEMPLATE(file) selected using CMyDocument::SetTitle(????????.???). 
Everything seems to be working fine but when i select FILE/SAVE, neither it brings up 
the "File Save As" dialog box for saving the template into a new file NOR it saves 
the text into the file name specified on the caption. 

After some investigation i came to know that the change of caption from UNTITLED:N to 
TITLED (name of the template file) is causing the problem. If i comment out this 
(CMyDocument::SetTitle(???????.???)) it brings up the "File Save As" when FILE/SAVE 
is selected and saves the TEMPLATE into the new file.   

FYI, the string table entry for IDR_MYDOCUMENTTYPE contains "UNTITLED:" and also 
tried by changing this to NULL and set the caption to the name of the TEMPLATE using 
CMyDocument::SetTitle(????????.???).

I have to change the caption from UNTITLED:N to TITLED (????????.???). It is my 
clients requirement.

Can any one help me in this regard. Any help will be GREATLLY APPRECIATED. 

Thanks
Praveen

You can get rid of the Untitled prefix by negating the
FWS_ADDTOTITLE style in your CMainFrame:PreCreateWindow(..)
method .Just do this.

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
        cs.style&=~FWS_ADDTOTITLE;
        //The last line was added to remove 'Untitled' from the
        //Title of Main Window
        return CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

Normally (In VC1.5 or VC2.0) the title line should be "MyApp -
[Untitled1]". When you bring up the File-Save dialog the default
filename will be "Untitled.ext". 
You can change the default title and extension in the string table entry
IDR_MYDOCUMENTTYPE i.e. to "MyDefaultTitle" and extension "xyz". Then
the title bar will be "MyApp - [MyDefaultTitle1]". Then at File-Save the
filename will be "MyDefaul.xyz" (8.3 format for 16bit app).
I guess there is not a simple way to get rid of the "1" in title bar.

cheers

There's a quite simple solution: override the implementation of
CFrameWnd::OnUpdateFrameTitle() and do whatever you
want with your frame's title (like building a string and calling
SetWindowText)

I think it's undocumented, so take care - it works for me anyway
