newbie button method question

[gavshan]

i have two IDD forms (MFC) and i want to be able to click a button on one to open up the other i have added the onclick handler but just cant get the code for opening anywhere can anyone help

Are they forms (CFormView derived classes) or dialogs (CDialog derived)? If it is a CDialog derived class, then CMyDialog dlg; dlg.DoModal(); Michael 'Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.' - The Doctor: The Wheel in Space

And if it is a CFormView you need to create a new document, like this. POSITION templatePos = GetFirstDocTemplatePosition(); while(templatePos != NULL) { CDocTemplate* pTemplate = GetNextDocTemplate(templatePos); CString strDocName; pTemplate->GetDocString(strDocName, CDocTemplate::docName); if(strDocName == "Form you want to open") pTemplate->OpenDocumentFile(NULL); } Alfredo
