Hi.  I'm having trouble with the titles of my documents in the Window
menu in my MDI app.  How does MFC determine which doc names to add to
the "open window" list?  I am hiding windows (when one is maximized,
hide the rest -- haven't gotten it totally figured out yet, see my
recent post) and when I do the "open window" list drops some of the
document names.  It is also possible to get the app to think that no
documents are open when at least 2 still are, but have been hidden.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks.

    Yes, it does some weird thing by iterating through the children of
the MDIFrameWnd's client area (which is itself a window). So if the
MDIChildWnd is hidden, it probably wouldn't show up. I have seen the code
to do this somewhere in the Microsoft KBase, but I can't recall where.
You may want to consider just maintaining your own list, and adding them
to a menu yourself. (Use CDocument::OnOpenDocument, CMenu::AppendMenu,
etc) I have always wondered why MFC doesn't provide a better
encapsulation of this list, and make it more easily available. - Doug S.

    I also just found a KBase article (Visual C++ area, article Q106455) that
has some sample code that allows you to iterate through the list of open
documents using the DocTemplates. You may want to look at that as well.
