I take solace in the fact we were all newbies once…

I have the desired text at document creation time:

// create/open document
if((pDoc = pDocTemplate->OpenDocumentFile("fred.txt")) != NULL)
{
    // locate newly created view
    POSITION pos = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition();

but the tab CXTPTabManagerItem is not available (is yet to be created?)  from CXTPTabClientWnd

what is the message/event to the MainFrame that signals a tab has been added?

I searched all forums/examples/et al to no avail

I’m assuming I’ll need to create a new msg/command to be sent to the active view to set the tab text?
or, can this be accomplished possibly in OnInitialUpdate() for the first view
or
Please point me in the right direction

Thanks!
