I'm using BC++ 3.1 with OWL, and I am trying to find some way to change the
menu in an MDI application that allows Windows to recognize the new position
of the Child Window submenu.  I have tried and failed with the OWL
TWindow::AssignMenu function, the WM_SETMDIMENU message, the combination of
the two, etc....

I have been rummaging through the OWL source code, and I noticed that the
ChildMenuPos variable that is specified in the constructor of a TMDIFrame
descendant, is passed to the CreateWindow API Function, and is not used
again during the life of the window.  I hope there is way to switch MDI 
menus without destroying and recreating the window!

Any suggestions would be appreciated via E-mail.  I will forward or repost
answers if anyone is interested.
