  void MDIActivate( CWnd* pWndActivate );
 
  Parameter      Description
 
  <pWndActivate> Points to the MDI child window to be activated.
 
  Remarks
 
  Activates a different MDI child window. The WM_MDIACTIVATE message is
  sent to both the child window being activated and the child window being
  deactivated.
 
  An MDI child window is activated independently of the MDI frame window.
  When the frame becomes active, the child window that was last activated
  is sent a WM_NCACTIVATE message to draw an active window frame and
  caption bar, but it does not receive another WM_MDIACTIVATE message.
