"UpdateAllViewsInAllDocuments"

[Ralf Friedrich Hain]

I want to set the font in a MDI-application. So I need a command like "UpdateAllViewsInAllDocuments", but that doesn't exist. Any suggestions? Thanks :-) Friedrich

You could use:

CWinApp * pApp = AfxGetApp ();
ASSERT_VALID ( pApp );

// Iterate through the application's document templates list
POSITION posTemplate = pApp->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition ();

while ( NULL != posTemplate ) {

// For each document template object...
CDocTemplate \* pTemplate = pApp->GetNextDocTemplate ( posTemplate );
ASSERT\_VALID ( pTemplate );
ASSERT\_KINDOF ( CDocTemplate, pTemplate );

// Iterate through the template's document list
POSITION posDocument = pTemplate->GetFirstDocPosition ();		

while ( NULL != posDocument ) {

	// For each document object...
	CDocument \* pDocument = pTemplate->GetNextDoc ( posDocument );
	ASSERT\_VALID ( pDocument );
	
	// update the documents view
	pDocument->UpdateAllViews ( NULL );

}

}
