Finding Filename of activated document

[robertzp]

Hello,

I have an MDI application which shows all the opened documents under the Window Menu.

The user can switch the view from one document to another by just clicking on the document.

How can I programatically determine the filename of the document that has been activated?

Can I use ON_WM_MDIACTIVATE for this purpose?

Sample code will be appreciated..

Any help please?

Hello,

I solved the problem with the following code!

The code will display the pathname of the active document being displayed on the screen on the status bar!

Hope this helps others who have the same needs.

void CChildFrame::OnMDIActivate(BOOL bActivate, CWnd* pActivateWnd, CWnd* pDeactivateWnd)
{
	CMDIChildWnd::OnMDIActivate(bActivate, pActivateWnd, pDeactivateWnd);

	/*
	On Activation, get the filename annd store in status pane
	*/

	if (bActivate)
	{
		CDocument* pDoc = ((CFrameWnd*)pActivateWnd)->GetActiveDocument();
		const CString& strFile = pDoc->GetPathName();
		if (!strFile.IsEmpty())
		{
			CMainFrame* pWnd = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
			pWnd->m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneText(2, strFile);
			CWindowDC dc(&pWnd->m_wndStatusBar);
			CSize sizeText = dc.GetTextExtent(strFile);
			pWnd->m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneInfo(2, ID_SEPARATOR, SBPS_NORMAL, sizeText.cx);
		}
	}
}
