MFC pointers

[Andre Schuetz]

Hello

I need to get a pointer to the View Class of an SDI app. for use within a global function written in the App class.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi.

I often use this syntax.

((CView*)(AfxGetMainWnd()))->public member funciton or variable of CView.

Also, you can change the cast like CMainWin(from CFrameWnd) or CWinApp.
There may be a mistake of brace.

Masaaki is right, but you have to take care the view class name,
for example

#include "CYourView.h"
.....
....
//View class pointer and variable
CFrameWnd* pFrame=(CFrameWnd*)AfxGetMainWnd();
CYourView* pView=(CYourView*)pFrame->GetActiveView();
...
...
then you get the pointer of your view class..
just point to any member variable of member function you want..
...
pView->m_variable = 123;
..
..
HTH
