I want to set dgDlg as a extern variable so that I can call dgDlg in class CMainFrame.

As it is, dgDlg can be accessed from any CMainFrame method.

You don't have to set that as an extern, its public and part of CMainFrame... means you should be able to reach it from any CMainFrame... what are you trying to do?

I'am so sorry .I've made a serious mistake.

class CPipeLineApp : public CWinApp
{
public:
CDengLu* dgDlg;
.....
};

I want to call dgDlg in class CMainFrame. I also want to call dgDlg's variables: name and pass Forwarding your help.

As far as I understand your question, you can access it like below.

((CPipeLineApp*)AfxGetApp())->dgDlg;

[Albert Holguin]

still not sure what the problem is... if CPipeLineApp is derived from CWinApp, then he owns the CMainFrame, so you have complete access to it...

...I'm thinking you don't really know the MFC framework?

[Albert Holguin]

ozer's right... my 5! [i forgot you can rate these!]

:( I'am a green hand.

see what ozer wrote above... i think i misunderstood your question, i thought you were trying to access cmainframe from cwinapp, a trivial operation, but you're really trying to access dgDlg (who is owned the cwinapp) from the cmainframe... that's not as trivial (but almost... ;P ) Happy coding! :)

But, I couldn't find out how I could save it as default in my settings. Do you know how?
