MDI - Accessing MDI parents public variables.

[Qwick Miller]

I have a MDI. I created four Forms that I use as child Forms (not Forms *form = new Forms() and then init the MDIParent property). I'm haviing trouble trying to find out how I can access public variables of the MDI parent from the child Forms. The MainForm has the include .h files of all my Forms I am using, but when I include the MainForm.h in the child Forms I get compiler errors in: MainForm: ChildForm1 is undeclared.... ChildForm: missing ';' before '*' (referring to MainForm *parent) How do I properly access my public variable in the parent? Thanks!...

Check this two threads: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=1123243&forumid=3785#xx1123243xx [^] http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=1110216&forumid=3785#xx1110216xx[^] Even if this two thread arent talking abaout passing from Child to MDI Parent, It is the same way of using this. I have tried and it worked

Thanks for the link to those disscusions. I was able to solve my problem. This method allows me to use the MFC document view method. I use a __gc class as my ducument interface between my Main and child Forms. Cool!...
