Hi, I have a MFC app with a main form (CMainFrame) and a dialog. How can I call a member function of CMainFrame from another dialog?

One way is to pass the CMainFrame into your dialog. Another is to use the m_pMainWnd member from your application object like this: CMainFrame* mainFrame = dynamic_cast(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd); mainFrame->doThisMemberMethod();

Oh! I looked at MSDN and found the correct way to use it. The code should be as follows:
CMainFrame* mainFrame = dynamic_cast(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd); mainFrame->doThisMemberMethod();Thanks. -- modified at 6:26 Sunday 17th June, 2007 -

I copied the code from one of my own projects and had to rename things from my class name to CMainFrame. I accidentally erased . Very sorry about that. Glad you still figured it out. I ran into my own pet peeve of someone giving a code example which doesn't work.

Hmmm, strange. Apparently I did not erase it. It seems the forum is completely deleting my code. I just typed it again in my previous message and it does not show up in the post. Somehow it worked when you typed it in your post. I wonder why.

No, it's there, albeit not shown. You are just failing to use the angle brackets above the smileys.
