Showing a window

[psnead]

I have an MDI application with four different document types. I only want the user to have one of each document type open at a time. Does anyone know how to do this?

Currently, in my class derived from CWinApp I call myTemplate->GetFirstDocView() to see if there is a document window open. If there is a Document window open, how do I put it at the top of the z-order. I know that there are functions like ShowWindow(), but I don't know how to get a CWnd* from the CWinApp class.

is a nonsence to do try to get it from winapp. See you CWnd/CFrame*/CDialog... You will show the instance of window what you interest, not some kind of window from the app what could be here or not. John Fill

About the detection of another child window active for the specified template
You can use the following functions:
- GetActiveDocument and GetActiveView(From the CMainFrame class) - to get a pointer use (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd()
- GetFirstDocTemplatePosition and GetNextDocTemplatePosition(from the CWinApp derived class) - you can get a pointer with (CMyApp*)AfxGetApp()

For activating a child window you have:

CMDIFrameWnd::MDIActivate(CWnd* pWndActivate), you can call it from your CMainFrame class or from another place.

Hope this helps, s-)
