My Problem is rather complex.
I have created an MFC dialog based Application. There are two windows in
this Dialog, each of them has its own class derived from CDialog - CMainDlg (created by MFC) and CChild (created by adding a Dialog with the Wizard).
I have an CChild member object (name it m_ChildWin) in CMainDlg, in order to be able to open the Child Dialog with m_childwin.CreateWindow(...)
I also have two CListCtrl declared as member variable, one in CMainDlg and one in CChild. I want to access the CListCtrl from CMainDlg with functions from the CChild class. (In fact, CChild is only a setup dialog for CMainDlg).
How do I manage to do this ?
To make things clearer:
class CMainDlg : public CDialog
{
...
CListCtrl m_MainList;
CChild m_ChildWin;
void OnButton
{
m_ChildWin.CreateWindow(...);
}
}
class CChild : public CDialog
{
...
CListCtrl m_SetupList;
void UpdateMainList;
{
How do I update m_MainList from here ?!
}
}
Thanks.

Hmmm. I'd have thought you'd be better off using Create(). In fact neither CDialog nor CWnd has a member function called CreateWindow.

In this particular case since the CMainDlg object is your main window [this being a dialog based app], you can use AfxGetMainWnd() to get a pointer to your CMainDlg object [cast it] and now you have access to m_MainList.

While Nish's answer is strictly correct, I would suggest (from an OO point of view) that this might be a bit safer:
In the CChild class, add a member function called Create, for example, which takes all of the parameters that you would normally need for a Create call and then a CListCtrl pointer as well:
BOOL CChild::Create(CListCtrl *apListCtrl, UINT nIDTemplate, CWnd *pParentWnd)
{
if (CDialog::Create(nIDTemplate, pParentWnd))
{
m_pListCtrl = apListCtrl;
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
where m_pListCtrl is a CListCtrl * member variable. You can then use this at will without having to rely on calls to AfxGetMainWnd(). Not only does this ensure that the correct list control is used, it means you don't have to make the CListCtrl public in your main dialog class.

first, thanks for your answer...
Of course, it was Create and not CreateWindow ... sorry ..

Sorry, i do not see the point in this, since the dialog is called in CMainDlg with m_ChildWin.Create(nIDTemplate,pParentWnd). Maybe I did not get the thing ?

Basically, I was just using the Create call as a way to pass in the extra parameters you need:
m_ChildWin.Create(&m_MyListCtrl, IDD_MY_CHILD_DIALOG, this)
if:
BOOL CChildDlg::Create(CListCtrl *apListCtrl, UINT nIDTemplate, CWnd *pParentWnd)
{
m_pMyListCtrlPtr = apListCtrl;
return CDialog::Create(nIDTemplate, pParentWnd);
}
so you're intercepting the Create call (but still calling the dialog Create function) to pass in your extra parameters.
As I said, this is just my opinion of how it should be done, feel free to use Nish's method, or any other you can think of.

I've tried to implement my own message filter (IMessageFilter) in a client that talks to a COM server.
It works if I test it in a simple dialog app, but when I implement it in an SDI app, the filter is never used. 
Anyone got any ideas?

Funny, it works in the SDI app if I call AfxOleInit() first.
In the dialog app there is no need for that.

Hi,
I have a dialog based application with the standard "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons at the bottom. After the dialog app loads, if I press the 'enter' key, the app closes (the Dialog::OnOK() Event Fires). How can I override this action? In other words, I want to be able to press the 'enter' key and not close the application (not fire the OnOK() event method). How do I do this?
Thanks.

There are two ways to do this -
1. You can do this by overriding the OnOK function in your dialog class and do NOT call the base class OnOK in that function.
2. In the dialog editor remove the default button property of the OK button.
Hope this helps

Put in your own OnOK(0 for the dialog, and have code liek this:
CMyDialog::OnOK()
{
if (GetFocus() != GetDlgItem(IDOK))
return ;
}

Hi,
How can I make the edit control of a CRichEditView read-only? Setting ES_READONLY flag does the job but messes up at other places.
Thanks,
Krishnan

try this:
CRichEditCtrl &rich=GetRichEditCtrl();
rich.SetReadOnly(true);

I found that the OLE DB provider for jet (aka access databases) does not correctly bind string columns to PropVariants. Upon return, the type is set "VT_BSTR", but the string is empty (but allocated).
Findings:
Jet 3.51: binds correctly to DBTYPE_BSTR, _VARIANT, _PROPVARIANT
Jet 4 SP3: binds correctly to DBTYPE_VARIANT, but not to DBTYPE_BSTR or DBTYPE_PROPVARIANT.
Anybody has an idea of an workaround?

One thing that came to mind was an old problem with Unicode and Jet. You had to use VT_BSTRT instead of VT_BSTR to get anything - VT_BSTR is Unicode and if ANSI is expected the string will be empty (or only contain one letter). However, I'm not sure this is the problem, and it doesn't give any explanation for the DBTYPE_PROPVARIANT thing.

I have a CString ,and I want to put it (or convert it) into variant type.
What is the code?

Thanks ,that's work.Now can you tell me how can I convert this
variant to CString or int or another type?

CString var = "1.3";

var = V_BSTR( &val );
double junk = atof( var );
val.ChangeType( VT_R8 );
junk = val.dblVal;

I compil on XP with VC++6 SP5 and it works on XP
...
Bitmap.LoadBitmap(IDB_BITMAP);
m_StaticBitmap.SetBitmap(Bitmap);
...
BUT, the bitmap doesn't show on 98 SE
WHY???

Is this bitmap of yours any rare? There are exceptional cases where a bitmap is correctly handled by NT/2000/XP and not by 98/ME (see MSDN info <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/bitmaps_1rw2.asp">BITMAPINFOHEADER</a>). If you suspect this to be the case, try replacing IDB_BITMAP with any other, standard bitmap.

On 98
m_StaticBitmap.RedrawWindow();
it's necessary,but not on XP
