You can use AfxGetApp() and cast the returned value to your class CMyApp* pApp = (CMyApp*) AfxGetApp(); Michael Snow is lying on the ground, and in the air the sleigh bells sound, The frosted patterned window panes, it's British summer time again.

Create the dialog box in Document class. if var1 and var2 are 2 variables of document class to be used by dialog class. if var3 and var4 are variables of dialog box class. CMyDoc::MyFunc() { CMyDialog Mydlg; Mydlg.var3 = var1; Mydlg.var4 = var2; if(Mydlg.DoModal()= IDOK) { var1 = Mydlg.var3; var2 = Mydlg.var4; } } never say die

Use: AfxGetApp()->m_pDocManager Here is an modified example that may help: void MyApp::InvalidateAllViews() { // Get position of first document template POSITION pos = m\_pDocManager->GetFirstDocTemplatePosition(); while( pos ) { // Get pointer to document template CDocTemplate\* pTemplate = m\_pDocManager->GetNextDocTemplate(pos); // Get position of first document using template POSITION pos2 = pTemplate->GetFirstDocPosition(); while( pos2 ) { // Get pointer to document CMyDoc\* pDoc = (CMysDoc\*)(pTemplate->GetNextDoc(pos2)); if( pDoc ) { // Get position of first view POSITION pos3 = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition(); while( pos3 ) { // Get pointer of next view CMyView\* pView = (CVMyView\*)(pDoc->GetNextView(pos3)); pView->Invalidate(); } } } } } INTP
