Introduction

MFC (Access to CView from Anywhere).

This is the cheats way of getting access to CView from anywhere in your application.

1. In you CWinApp, create two functions: a void function StoreMyView (CView* pView) and a CView* function GetMyView ().
2. Declare a pointer of type CView in the CWinApp class.
3. In CView constructor, get the application using the following lines:

   CWinApp* pApp = (CWinApp*) AfxGetApp ();
   pApp->StoreMyView (this);

4. In CWinApp GetMyView (), return your declared pointer.
5. In CWinApp StoreMyView, point your data member to the parameter value, i.e. say, data member is m_pView and parameter is pView; so m_pView = pView;
6. Now you can access your view using the application object, i.e.,

   CWinApp * pApp = (CWinApp*) AfxGetApp ();
   CView * pView = pApp. GetMyView ();

7. Don't forget to include View.h and Doc.h in CWinApp.h and the view.h is included in .cpp files automatically when you create your data member in VC++.

That's all folks.
