Change Tab Caption in MDITabWindow Sample

   Hello,
How to change the caption of a just created tab in MDI App ? I am doing the following but unable to change as m_MTIClientWnd.GetItem returns NULL. Seems that the tab is not yet created. But here if I use the index of an existing tab & after SetCaption I show a MessageBox then the caption is changed till I dismiss the MsgBox. After that the caption reverts back to what is defined in IDR_HELLOTYPE.
Regards
void CMainFrame::OnFileNewhello() 
{
 POSITION curTemplatePos = ::AfxGetApp()->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
 while(curTemplatePos != NULL)
 {
  CDocTemplate* curTemplate =
   AfxGetApp()->GetNextDocTemplate(curTemplatePos);
  CString str;
  curTemplate->GetDocString(str, CDocTemplate::docName);
  if(str == _T("Hello"))
  {
   CDocument *p = curTemplate->OpenDocumentFile(NULL);
   if (p)
   {
    CXTPTabManagerItem *pTabItem = m_MTIClientWnd.GetItem(m_MTIClientWnd.GetItemCount());
    if (pTabItem)
    {
     pTabItem->SetCaption(_T("SomeCaption"));
    }
   }
   return;
  }
 }
 AfxMessageBox(IDS_NOHELLOTEMPLATE);
}
