Views in MDI application question !

Hi,

How can I get the number of views opened in my MDI application from the main frame ?

and getting a pointer to a view giving his index ?

Hi,

1. Use MDIGetActive to get the active child wnd
2. Using that child pointer use GetActiveDocument to get the CDocument pointer
3. Then using that CDocument pointer use GetFirstViewPosition and then GetNextView to navigate and get the views.

Try it out.

Don't works, I became every 2 views when for example 10 views exist.

Here's the function :

int CMainFrame::GetNumberOfViews()
{
CMDIChildWnd *pView = MDIGetActive();

if (!pView) return 0;

CDocument *pDocument = pView->GetActiveDocument();

if (!pDocument) return 1;

int iNumberOfViews = 1;

POSITION iPos = pDocument->GetFirstViewPosition();

while (iPos)
{
CView *pView = pDocument->GetNextView(iPos);

if (pView) iNumberOfViews++;
}

return iNumberOfViews;
}

Step's example :

CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 1
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, OK
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 3
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 4
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 5
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 6
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 7
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 8
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 9
CreateNewView();
GetNumberOfViews(); // returns 2, must be 10

I have found the solution.

int CMainFrame::GetNumberOfViews()
{
POSITION iPos = theApp.GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();

if (!iPos) return 0;

int iNumberOfViews = 0;

while (iPos)
{
iNumberOfViews++;

theApp.GetNextDocTemplate(iPos);
}

return iNumberOfViews;
}

Cool...

All the best.
