Getting the title text from an MDICLIENT window

Hello. I hope you are all well.

I've been trying to get the text from an MDICLIENT window (recognised
by SPY++ as 'WindowsForms10 .MDICLIENT.app3 ').
When i try to get the text using SendMessage(WM_ GETTEXT), or good old
GetText(), i get an empty string returned. Eh?

Spy++ doesn't seem to get the text either. Do i need to use some
WM_MDI* type messages or did MS leave out the handling of that message
for MDI forms? Im using Visual Studio 2003.

Cheers,
James Randle.

Stupid pigeon!
The ''WindowsForms1 0.MDICLIENT.app ' is the container for the MDI forms.
The actual MDI form is 'WindowsForms10 .Window.8.app3' .

Anybody else successfully wasted half their day?! :O)

The user may click in any child window or the main window to open a summary window, which has a name all windows know. I want to get that...

Please forgive the simplicy of this question. I have the following code which attempts to determine the color of some text and set other text to match that color. It works fine in Firefox, but does nothing in IE. I'd be greatful for any assistance. Also, if I will have problems the code on Opera or Safari, I'd appreciate any pointers--I don't have a Mac to test Safari. THanks very much, Michael

Is there any way to change or turn off the border of an Windows.Forms.MdiClient control? In my opinion the 3D bevel that the control uses is outdated and looks poor in my app. The best would be a single line border that custom draw so I can control the color of the border. Thanks for any help! Lance

Is it possible to find the size of the MDIClient area, excluding the space already used by docked controls? I have thought I could perhaps create a new control, set it's Dock property to Fill and see how big that is, but there must be a better way. I would have to do this in the Resize event TIA Phil.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
