How to resize a MDI window?

[Peter J. Wahle]

How does one resize and reposition a MDI window automatically?
I've tried using the online help, but have only been able to resize
the contents not including the frame.

Hello,

You are probably trying to resize the view window, you need to resize its
frame window (usually derived from CMDIChildWnd). You can use code like:

void CYourView::ResizeIt()
{
CFrameWnd* pFrame = GetParentFrame();
pFrame->MoveWindow( x, y, width, height );
}

You will find additional details in FAQ 3.8 of "The MFC Answer Book": How
do I programmatically resize or reposition a view? You can find screen
shots and a sample program at <http://www.mfcfaq.com>.
