CDocument::SetTitle

Question

I have a MFC MDI app, with tabbed childs.

And I want to change the title of the document and tab, after the document is loaded. And I noticed that CDocument::SetTitle is working on OnNewDocument, but not from OnOpenDocument:

BOOL CMyDoc::OnNewDocument()  
{  
 if (! CDocument::OnNewDocument())  
 return FALSE;  
  
 // TODO: add reinitialization code here  
 // (SDI documents will reuse this document)  
  
 SetTitle(_T("AAA")); // working  
  
 return TRUE;  
}  
  
BOOL CMyDoc::OnOpenDocument(LPCTSTR lpszPathName)  
{  
 if (! CDocument::OnOpenDocument(lpszPathName))  
 return FALSE;  
  
 // TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class  
  
 SetTitle(_T("BBBB")); // not working  
  
 return TRUE;  
}  

How can I solve that ?

See if this thread helps.

Answer 2

I have found a workaround: to setup the document title inside of CMyView::OnInitialUpdate:

void CMyView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CListView::OnInitialUpdate();

// TODO: You may populate your ListView with items by directly accessing
//  its list control through a call to GetListCtrl().

GetDocument()->SetTitle(_T("BBBB"));
}
