Getting pointer to MFC Document

[electronicman_x]

I'm currently working with an MDI application and RogueWave's Stingray library. I'm using their SECControlBar class for a dockable window which will contain 2 tree controls selectable by tabs. I have the trees working and the tabs working, but I'm trying to keep all my data in the Document class of my MDI. This SECControlBar class is not doc/view based, it's just a CWnd derivative. My question is how do i get access to my document class via this CWnd derived dockable window? Normally i just use a GetDocument for my view classes to obtain the related document but there is no such function i can see for the same thing from this CWnd derivative. Thanks for you time.

Look for GetActiveView ( from CFrameWnd ) call this on the MainFrame ( AfxGetMainWnd ), and with the view, you GetDocument. Max.

I attempted your suggestion with this code: void ModuleTab::OnModulemenuAddchannel() { // TODO: Add your command handler code here CString display; int work; AfxMessageBox(_T("add channel. later.")); //start CFrameWnd* pMWnd; pMWnd=(CFrameWnd *)AfxGetMainWnd(); CView* pVWnd; pVWnd=pMWnd->GetActiveView(); CGENyDoc* pDoc; pDoc=(CGENyDoc *)pVWnd->GetDocument();//fails debug assertion here. //end work=pDoc->m_myint; work++; pDoc->m_myint=work; display.Format(_T(" value: %d"),work); AfxMessageBox(display); Invalidate(); } It fails where i call get document. It appears that I'm getting the wrong pointer. Any suggestions? Jeff Rothenberg Project Engineer Vector CANtech, Inc.

I'm sorry, I was too fast to answer : The view is inside a frame window. I do this to get the view:

CMainFrame *pMainFrame = ( CMainFrame* )AfxGetMainWnd();
ASSERT( pMainFrame );
CMDIChildWnd *pChild = (CMDIChildWnd *) pMainFrame->GetActiveFrame();
CView* pView = pChild->GetActiveView();

Max.
