465.0. "How to change the mainframe app name after the fact?" by DECWET::KOWALSKI (Time's not for saving) Fri Feb 14 1997 08:56

I've got a real head pounder:  an MFC/SDI project was
started with a "non-marketing friendly" name which
now needs to be changed.  Despite changing the
image name and the AFX_IDS_APP_TITLE symbol, the
durn mainframe still has the title 
<Document name> - <old non-marketing friendly app name>

I've tried setting the window title in the app
constructor but I get an accvio.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks/Mark

    Check the RC file in the string table for the string id IDR_MAINFRAME.
    It may influence the creation of the documents.

    if .1 doesn't help, you might try searching all of the project's .rc
    files for the unfriendly name, and replace it when you find it.
