Hello,
for example the MDI-frame-window-title is "orders" and the new MDIchild
title is "year 2005"; after maximizing the MDIchild the title of the
MDIframe window is "orders - [year 2005]". When the title of the childwindow
is changed to "february 2005" the MDI shows still the old title till the
child is resized and maximized again. Then the MDI-frame shows the correct
title "orders - [february 2005]".
1. How to force showing the new MDI-frame-title after changing the title of
the maximized MDIchild window without to resize the childwindow?
2. Is there any description of TComboBoxEx?
3. IDE: After placing the TComboBoxEx control on a form how to move it?
Regards
Ingo

That functionality is provided directly by the Windows API. Is obvious that
the Microsoft team did not take care what to do when a maximized child
window's caption was changed.
Maybe if you send the maximize message manually it solves the problem:
oForm:oMdiClient:SendMessage( oChildWindow:Handle, WM_MDIMAXIMIZE, 0 )

The TComboBoxEx is useless, it will probabiliy be out of the IDE on next
pre-release until is completely finished. I recommend you use a Treeview
control with no branches and no lines, it will give you greater
functionality.

Ignacio,
calling :SendMsg(oChildWindow:Handle, WM_MDIMAXIMIZE, 0 ) doesn't help but I
solved the problem with inserting "ProcessMessages()" behind the line in
which the Childwindow caption is changed.
BTW I'm missing "ProcessMessages()" in the Xailer documentation.
