Dear Support,

This is a thread from last year regarding skinning in MDI application problem.
Any progress? Is there any estimation when this feature will be ready?

Hi,
When i added CExtNCW support to my CMDIChildWnd derived class, the tile & cascade commands stopped working correctly.
Please verify and fix for the next version.

Hereaˆ™s Supportaˆ™s answer for almost the same question from Oct 17th:
---Begin quote---
You should not use the CExtNCW template class with child windows and MDI child frames. First, CExtNCW currently supports captions of popup frame and dialog windows only. Second, the CExtNCW template class is not compatible with MDI child frames because the standard Windows MDI interface cannot work with windows which implement the custom non-client area. The custom NC area requires the WS_BORDER|WS_CAPTION styles to be removed from the window to make Windows API unable to overdraw the non-client area. The Windows MDI interface does not work with MDI child frames that do not have the WS_BORDER|WS_CAPTION style. We plan to recode the MDI interface from scratch to solve this problem.

You cannot use CExtNCW for that. But this already is in our to-do list.
