Getting a Control From the Other Dialog

How can I access a control from another class ( in MFC )? Example:

COtherClass *other;
other->m_TheControl.GetWindowText( buffer );

or

COtherClass other;
other.m_TheControl.GetWindowText( buffer );

I've tryed both, but in the execution of the program an "Debug Assertion Error" is showed.

What's going wrong?
I'm using VC++.

When you are doing

COtherClass *other;
other->m_TheControl.GetWindowText( buffer );

or

COtherClass other;
other.m_TheControl.GetWindowText( buffer );


You are fist declaring a dialog class variable. For a dialog to come into existance only declaration of an object of that dialog class is not sufficient. I mean when you write "COtherClass Other;" a new dialog will not come into existance, you are only creating an object of a dialog class. You can get dialog by using DoModal() function of a dialog class.

For example
COtherClass Other;
Other.DoModal();

So....In your case, in second line you are requesting for a control which is not exist. So "Debug Assertion Error" will come definitely

OK, thanks for the information.

But what I really want to is to pass variables from one class to other class.

Example:

CString sSheet;
sSheet = ptrDlg->m_OneString;

Think I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know exactly what.

Following is an example which will help you.

Suppose you have one dialog class called "CTestDlg".

class CTestDlg : public CDialog
{
public :
int i;
}

Now you can use this class in following manner from your application dialog class.

{
CTestDlg Dlg;
Dlg.i = 101;

Dlg.DoModal();

int ii = Dlg.i;
}

Here, you are creating an object of class CTestDlg. Then you are setting class variable 'i' with value 101. Then you are displaying that dialog. Suppose during dialog's lifetime you have changed value of 'i'. So by writing last statement you can get value of dialog class's 'i' variable into local variable 'ii'.
