    Smile How To Call A User-defined Class in Win32 Application?

    Bonjour !

    Let say I have defined a class myself, called "Test". Then if I click on a button called "BOK", it will trigger the functions of the instances of Test to have some events to occur.

    To have the functions working when I click the button, I need to create the instaces of Test first, right ?

    Where should I place the code like "Test A" to create the instances ?

    I cannot put under the OnBOK() right ? If not the program will keep creating the instances of Test every time I click the button.

    So where should I create the instances to make sure OnBOK() can access the instances and execute the functions properly ?

    Thanks a lot !

    P/S : Seems like my nick name appear quite frequently this few days

    If I where you I would declare a global pointer of your new class.

    In the InitDialog (or something like that) or even in the OnOk() you create the instance and you can call all the public functions of your own class using the created instance.


    MyClass * g_myPointer;

    //...

    int OnOk()
    {
    g_myPointer = new MyClass;
    g_myPointer->funcA();
    g_myPointer->FuncB();
    delete g_myPointer;
    }

    If you don't want to create the instance everytime you've pressed the OK button, you can create the instance in another procedure that is earlier called in the program.

    MyClass * g_myPointer;

    //...

    int OnInitDialog()
    {
    g_myPointer = new MyClass;
    }

    int OnOk()
    {
    g_myPointer->funcA();
    g_myPointer->FuncB();
    }

    int OnCloseDialog()
    {
    delete g_myPointer;
    }


    Of course you will need to check for NULL values in your final version.
    Greetings.
