Handle to Dialog, In Dialog Application
-
Hi, I am designing a simple dialog application in VS.net. In the dialog class that is created, I call a class of my own, that is not derived from any MFC class. My class needs access to an Edit control in the main dialog. It looks as if my class needs a handle to the parent class, hlg, in this case the dialog window. QUESTION: How do I find the parent, main dialog, parent window?? I have been trying to find it while setting breakpoints in the debugger. Thanks. Jerry

This is not advisable. What is it exactly that you are trying to do?

for access to main dialog you can use GetParent but you said "that is not derived from any MFC class"

In your own class create a member to your edit control (like CEdit* m_pEdit). Then create a function to set the member (like SetEdit(CEdit* pEdit) { m_pEdit = pEdit; } ). Then in your own class, use m_pEdit->SetWindowText(...) or GetWindowText(...). Does that work?
