Last reviewed: January 5, 1995
Article ID: Q86412

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

In a multiple document interface (MDI) application developed for Microsoft Windows version 3.1, when the application creates more than nine MDI child windows, the user chooses More Windows from the Window menu, and selects an MDI child window to activate from the list displayed in the Select Window dialog box, the application activates a different window.

CAUSE

When one or more MDI child windows are hidden by an application, the default frame window procedure (DefFrameProc) activates the wrong window.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
