GetControlBar

[Z.K.]

I am trying to get access to my toolbar with this command form my ViewForm,
but I keep getting the error that it is not a member of CWnd. What am I
doing wrong?

CControlBar *pMyControlBar = (CControlBar
*)::AfxGetMainWnd()->GetControlBar(IDR_MAINFRAME);

GetControlBar() is a CFrameWnd member but AfxGetMainWnd() returns a CWnd
pointer.

You would need to (down)cast the pointer returned from AfxGetMainWnd() to at
least a CFrameWnd* to make the call to GetControlBar().

Thanks for the info. Actually I kind of already discovered it. So, I used
a pointer to mainframe to access the toolbar and then wrote a few helper
functions to access the protected data.
