AfxBeginThread - Threads and Doc/View

I am using the Document View Architecture and starting a Thread using AfxBeginThread(WorkerThread, pParam);
When I am in the WorkerThread how can I access a method in my View Class. I have tryed the following:

CMainFrame *pMainFrame = (CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd();
CFrameWnd* pChild = pMainFrame->GetActiveFrame();
CServerView* pView = (CServerView*)pChild->GetActiveView();

// The method I am tryitng call from the Thread
pView->WriteLogMessage(szMessage);

This will fail with a Access Violation on the call to GetActiveFrame()

I have also tryed throught about used CWnd::PostMessage();

Any comments would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Try to use the pView pointer as an argument pParam to AfxBeginThread call.
From worker threads (that is, other than main threads), AfxGetMainWnd may fail.

I have achieved something like this by passing the hWnd if the View in the pParam.
Then in the worker thread I use
::SendMessage(hWnd, WM_XXXXXXX, ..., ...);
Where WM_XXXXX is a custom defined message.
Note: if you use PostMessage you must ensure that the message is processed before the string you are using goes out of scope

Thank You Anonymous - Passing in the pointer to the View worked fine -
Here is the code if anyone is interested:

This is the call using AfxBeginThread()
------------------------------------------------------------
CMainFrame *pMainFrame = (CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd();
CFrameWnd* pChild = pMainFrame->GetActiveFrame();
CHTTPServerView* pView = (CHTTPServerView*)pChild->GetActiveView();
AfxBeginThread(ServerThreadProc, pView);


This is the ServerThread()
-----------------------------------
CHTTPServerView* pView = (CHTTPServerView*)pParam;
// print the first header
pView->WriteLogMessage("We are indide the thread: ServerThreadProc()");
