Thank you! It works! The right answer is: AfxGetMainWnd()->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND,ID_FILE_NEW);

I found a solution on my own. I posted it at the comments of the cximage article.:)

In the properties of your project, try to specify libcd.lib (and perhaps libc.lib as well) in the field entitled Ignore Specific Library, in the tab Linker > Input.

do you know c++ class ? ;) class CYOUView : public CView { int m_int; }; If you try compile that string: ... GetActiveView()->m_int ... you got error "m_int not member of class CView" but if you write: ... ((CYOUView*)GetActiveView())->m_int ... that will compile, and work whith no error's ;)

Thanks a lot! I managed to solve my problem. :-D

Thank you! It worked perfect. Even when dwLen=1 it is enough to make the second dialog accessable.
