In web development, when we want to pass something between different pages, we might use the Session to save the data. But in MFC, what can we use to store these things?
Thanks!
Typical MFC Applications will have a Document-View-Frame architecture. Data is stored in the Document object, and accessed globally. You can access it anywhere via AfxGetMainWnd().
AfxGetApp() will also get you a pointer to your main application, which is another good spot to store data if you’re not using a Document View architecture. If there is a lot of data, you can construct a class to hold the data, then add an instance as a member variable to the CWinApp in your project.
Another option, which I don’t recommend but I have seen, is to have the dialogs themselves as member variables in the CWinApp, and then each dialog can reference the other. Basically, the user clicks ‘ok’, but then the dialog disappears, but is not deleted. This means all the data they entered is still accessable via the dialog variable.
