Hello NG,

I have an MDI app. The view has a property page. There I have OnSetActive
that calls a function "FillEditCtrl" to showsvalues in an edit control.
I call a menu that opens a dialog. The user can edit values that are shown
in the edit control of the property page of the view.
The user closes the dialog. But OnSetActive of my property page is not
called, so the values are not shown in my view.

After closing the dialog, what afx msg is called instead?

void CMainFrame::OnMenuEditValues()
{
CWnd* pw = GetActiveWindow();

CTheDialog dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

pw->SetActiveWindow();
}

I don't call the FillEditCtrl directly from CMainFrame, because the user can
open other docview-Windows (MDI)

How does the property page know, that it is active again after the dialog to
call FillEditCtrl?

Thanks for help,
Guido

That seems a mighty odd event to populate an edit control from!

The correct way of getting things to update is to call UpdateAllViews
from your CDocument derived class.

Go with the flow of the MFC Doc/View - life will be simpler.

If you've not already done so, I recommend that you go through the MFC
scribble sample - that illustrates the fundamentals of using MFC
Doc/View.
