vc++ 6 mfc, easiest way to pass variables between dlgs?
-
i have two dlgs which i want to access the same variable, i,ve got some global variables in the "Globals" folder but i cant access them from the childdlg. i thought global was GLOBAL? how to do this easy. thx
If the variable is in the parent window which create the dialog you can use GetParent() method to get the parent window , and make sure your global variable is declared in parent header with public access.

Really? I'm not the most experienced developer around but I'm pretty sure you can't put variables into folders. :rolleyes:

If you don't understand that those Dialogs are Classes and/or if you don't understand how to pass/access variables between classes then my guess would be that this might be the easiest.[^]

Then my comment about the dialogs being classes and that standard mechanisms for passing values or accessing values applies, should have helped yes? I mean I have not read that book but I would imagine that is covered yes?

it it is integer, than you can use PostMessage to tranfer values in active mode. since other wise just update the shared values for passive mode transfer.
