regarding application class variable??

[pinnachio]

can i declare a variable of application class of my project??

[Ajay Vijay]

Please give more details, what you want to do?

[pinnachio]

I have designed a project ,so what i read o=in various documention's is that InitInstance of the Application class of project is the entry point for the project, so by declaring a variable of application class in one of my normal cpp files (having a main()) and including the header files of this Application class, i guess i may display the GUI whenever i declare the variable??

[pinnachio]

Please ignore o= in above post

[Ajay Vijay]

Well, well. You need to grab a copy of MFC programming to understand all that.
If you need Visual Studio to help, just create a Dialog based MFC application with MFC's New-Project wizard.

[pinnachio]

So m wrong??

[Ajay Vijay]

It's not the question of being wrong or right. You need to understand basics of how MFC programs run (not too though!).

What you've read in documentation is correct, thus you are right. But you know how and why?
Yes, you can declare application-class variable, you are right. But what does it imply?

[pinnachio]

Well on declaring an object as in file

#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream.h>
#include "Pflow.h"



int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	printf("Hello World!\n");
	CPflowApp app;
	return 0;
}

and have included all the required project required files am getting Following Errors:
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall CPflowApp::CPflowApp(void)" (??0CPflowApp@@QAE@XZ)
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __endthreadex
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __beginthreadex
Debug/main.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

and the file Pflow.h the header file of my application class is given as:

// Pflow.h : main header file for the PFLOW application
//

#if !defined(AFX_PFLOW_H__BB6F1EE1_33AA_4DF5_AF29_7A8DC123B309__INCLUDED_)

Well After changing my Settings->General to Use MFC using shared Dll i removed all the errors and could build the exe.....but know getting a runtime error as as soon as i execute my cpp file as written above:
it Prints the Output:
Hello World (at Console)
and displays error as:
Debug Assertion Failed!
File :appcore.cpp
Line :85
and the line 85 is:
ASSERT(AfxGetThread() == NULL);
i have earlier also recieved this error but could not help myself....

[Ajay Vijay]

Why do you need CWinApp object?
Do you want to use MFC features?

You can create Console Application and add support to MFC.

[pinnachio]

how can i add that support to MFC

[pinnachio]

and i have already told you the need of CWinApp object.....

[Ajay Vijay]

i guess i may display the GUI whenever i declare the variable??

No you cannot! You application should be GUI, which, generally has WinMain, instead of main.

[pinnachio]

So can you please give me any suggestion to accomplish this??

[Ajay Vijay]

It would be hard for you to digest that you cannot do it that simply.
Grab a book of GUI/MFC/VC++ programming. Learn from some tutorials on the net. Create Dialog-based MFC application using wizard, and step-in each line of code, starting from InitInstance.

Understanding GUI/MFC programming will need few days, at least.
