 Topic: AfxGetMainWnd() returns NULL?Posted: 30 September 2007 at 8:55am |

AfxGetMainWnd() is returning null in our application if we double click a file that we have registered with the shell. Very strange as this means m_pMainWnd is NULL and crashes our app.
Any ideas why this would happen, any help much appreciated

Reason can be only in code you have. Trace where you created CMainframe and where you call AfxGetMainWnd() . |

It must be in our code, but it seems that when our app calls
this in turn calls OnOpenDocument (which we have overridden) but if we pass a filename on the commandline then m_pMainWnd is null, if we dont pass a filename then it is correct Strange, any ideas much appreciated |

Hi,
Obviously you create CMainFrame after ProcessShellCommand call.

Hi But this is not the case:
pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate( IDR_MAINFRAME, RUNTIME_CLASS( CMainDoc ), RUNTIME_CLASS( CMainFrame ), RUNTIME_CLASS( CWorkspaceView ) );
AddDocTemplate( pDocTemplate );
EnableShellOpen();
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine( cmdInfo );
if ( !ProcessShellCommand( cmdInfo ) )
{
// do error
}
See the above works fine if I just run the app, but if I pass a command line to load a file it then does it
it's like something is stopping m_pMainWnd from initialising as it creates the CMainFrame etc. for us using the doc architecture
Any ideas much appreciated

You didn't paste lines _after_ ProcessShellCommand where you create instance of CMainFrame.

Surely the document architecture creates the CMainFrame instance in the above code, all we do after is
// show and update window
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow( SW_SHOW );
m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();

AIUI, m_pMainWnd only becomes valid after calling ProcessShellCommand. However, during this function, OnNewDocument() gets called before the frame has been created.
This only happens the first time the program starts, in every other call of OnNewDocument(), the main window pointer will be valid.
Can you defer your processing until OnInitialUpdate() for a view?
Regards,
Roger

Thanks for above, fixed now as we rewrote our own ProcessShellCommand, which works perfect, not sure why the original one worked and after a few changes it stopped, but thanks for above.
Just glad to get it working again as behind schedule now ;)
