Modifying the title in a multi-document project is different from that in the dialog box. It can be set in CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow.
BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) { if( !CMDIFrameWndEx::PreCreateWindow(cs) ) return FALSE; // TODO: modify it here // CREATESTRUCT cs to modify the window class or style cs.lpszName = theApp.strVersion; return TRUE; }
