hi:
I want to hide the CMDIFrameWnd title to make the client’s space more bigger, and I want to move the title text just right of the file menu.. How can I do that??

Just create the main frame window without the WS_CAPTION style applied to suppress the caption. The menu bar should create a CExtBarButton-derived class instance as the first button that implements something like a caption.

hi:

   I coding as what you said,, but the title bar is still showing up...  Am I wrong ??

   Following is my code , I use 2 methods to try it...

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
  lpCreateStruct->style &= ~WS_CAPTION;
 if( CMDIFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1 )
 {
  ASSERT( FALSE );
  return -1;
 }

}

   OR.............

  
BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
 cs.style &= ~WS_CAPTION;
 if( !CMDIFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
  return FALSE;
 // TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
 //  the CREATESTRUCT cs

 return TRUE;
}

To remove the caption from the MDI child frame is enough to remove the WS_CAPTION style. If you need to remove the caption from the main frame window remove the WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW style which is a combination of several styles:

#define WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW (WS_OVERLAPPED     |                              WS_CAPTION        |                              WS_SYSMENU        |                              WS_THICKFRAME     |                              WS_MINIMIZEBOX    |                              WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)

 
int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
 if (CMDIFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
  return -1;
 
 ModifyStyle( WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 0 );
