I'm not sure that I understand your question, but I think that if you want to know what kind of object is pointing pWnd you could use if(! pWnd ->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildClassName))){;) //Error }else{ ... }

Hope I understood your question see IsChild[^] and CWnd::IsChild

Do you wish to check pWnd is a Child dialog or pWnd is a child of a dialog. Use GetParent to find out the parent and then use GetClassName to find out the class. You can also refer GetParentOwner.

What he need is to check whether a window ( got from hWnd ) is a dialog window or a child control ( means edit, static, etc. ) - NS -

[see me]

i got the child window using CWnd* pWnd = GetWindow( GW_CHILD ); but the pWnd i got is of the edit control of the parent dialog. i need to get only the pWnd of child dialog and not of child controls. ajeesh

Use pWnd=pWnd->GetNextWindow() in a while loop and exit when the pWnd points the right object.
