I am developing dialog-based app.

In my app's InitInstance(), I have to declare an instance of the MAIN
dialog and assign its address to m_pMainWnd.  The problem is since MAIN
dialog is local to this function, how do I access it from somewhere else?
I tried to declare  the MAIN dialog as global (even a member function of
the app class), I get ASSERTION failure such as below

{ ASSERT(afxCurrentResourceHandle() != NULL
                return afxCurrentResourceHandle; }

How do resolve this?  Please help.

#endif

    MAINDlg MainDialog;
    m_pMainWnd = &MainDialog;

    if(MainDialog.DoModal() == IDCANCEL)
    {  
        ;
    }

        // Since the dialog has been closed, return FALSE so that we exit the
        //  application, rather than start the application's message pump.
        return FALSE;

Hello Giang,

     Try the following :

          MAINDlg* pDlg = (MAINDlg*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;

     Now you can access the MAIN dialog through the pointer pDlg.

     Good luck.
