disable window movement

Hello I 'm using Visual C++ 1.52 and have a CFormView project. The way it works now is the user can drag the main window by it's title bar. I want to disable this feature for this window. For some odd reason I can't get the
following function to respond when I use the mouse left button over the title bar. If I could get the nHitTest to return HTCAPTION when over the title bar. I could trick it to think the mouse is over something else by returning HTNOWHERE. Unfortunately, when I left click onto the title bar it won't go into the function. I tried tracing it with no luck! What am I doing wrong??? Note: I had the MFC app wizard make the following function with it's correct declaration and messages (it looks right).... it
should of worked ... I thought. Steve sguit@aol.com

void CPmixView::OnNcLButtonDown(UINT nHitTest, CPoint point)
{
      // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default

     TRACE("%s\n","test");

     CFormView::OnNcLButtonDown(nHitTest, point);
}

RONSLOW's thanks..... I must not of been awake to realize I made the call from the wrong class! Here is the needed code (one way) for a user to disable window movement. it fools the mainframe into thinking that you clicked on the client area not the caption bar!

UINT CMainFrame::OnNcHitTest(CPoint point)
{
UINT nHitTest = CFrameWnd::OnNcHitTest(point);
return (nHitTest == HTCAPTION) ? HTCLIENT : nHitTest;
}
