Error assigning values?!!

[AlexO]

it means the GetActiveView() stopped worked in your program. Check carefully what it does (if you have source control check what it used to do)

[Joao Paulo Figueira]

Try to use a dynamic_cast. If the returned value is NULL, then the pointer is not of that class.

[raner]

what is source control?...i thought it simply gets the MainFrame pointer and then the active view's pointer? anyway...i don't understand how GetActiveView() can just stop working?

[raner]

How do i use dynamic_cast?...sorry,i've heard of it but i've never tried anything like that..

[Joao Paulo Figueira]

Do this:

pView = dynamic_cast<CMy3027View*>(pMF->GetActiveView());
if(pView)
m_numOfValues= pView->m_imageIndex;

You might have to turn on the RTTI option in VC.

[raner]

It ran into exception handling error while executing pView = dynamic_cast(pMF->GetActiveView()); Anyway...is there a better way to obtain member variables of a CView class then?

[palbano]

good grief :mad: the code you posted is horribly wrong considering it was provided to you correctly

;Poops...i mean i did run the right statement(that below) when i got an exception error. pView = dynamic_cast(pMF->GetActiveView());

[palbano]

oh, u missed the "display this message as-is (no HTML)" check box. sorry :-O did you turn on the RTTI build option?
