Change a child dialog's border?
Is it a dialog or is it the CFormView window? They are very different things.
I'm not sure what your problem is or what you want. VC itself is probably
an MDI app, so I'm not sure the comparison is meaningful.
Try the other types of apps, see if they work better. Don't gratuitously
change the look - it's standardized for a reason.
