Opening a new MDI child when no MDI Child exists
You're not accessing the doc template object - you can't just call a class
function without an object......
Look in yourapp.cpp, where AppWizard creates the Doc Template, usuallt
pDocTemplate - you might have to access it via the Doc object itself, though
i am not sure how to do this
Here's what you should of done...
(Assuming your app defined doc template is called pDocTemplate and you want
to access it directly)
pDocTemplate.CreateNewFrame(NULL, NULL);
or if you are accessing a pointer to it(via some call to the doc object to
get the doc template)...
pDocTemplate->CreateNewFrame(NULL, NULL);
In C++, you have classes and objects. CDocTemplate is a class - and your
document template(the object that defines what type of document your app
excepts, usually defined as a string in the resource file) is an instance of
that class. So when a programmer writes CDocTemplate::CreateNewFrame() we're
actually saying, get the object of type CDocTemplate and then call the
CreateNewFrame function of that object - by whatever name that object is.
Hope this helps,
