Global Managed Type in win32 dll project

I am making a dll and need to use a global variable. This needs to be addressed by a function. I have some code but i can't figure out how to do this so i have pretty much guessed after reading various articles on the internet.

Code:

---

public ref class Wii {
public:
        static Wiimote^ wm;
};

MYCOMMAND bool WMCONNECT()
{
        Wiimote wm;
        wm.Connect();
        Wii::wm := wm;
}

---

Help greatly appreciated.

public ref class Wii {
public:
static Wiimote^ wm;
};

MYCOMMAND bool WMCONNECT()
{
Wiimote^ wm = gcnew Wiimote();
wm->Connect();
Wii::wm = wm;
}

Thank you!! works perfectly an i no how 2 do rest now! gd stuff!! :P
