Wrong Pointer Values

If all you do with the Class1 object is create it, it never has a chance to change the variable to 1, you''d need to at least manipulate the object for it''s member variables to change from their initialized state.

More code please, specifically what you are doing in Class2 and the code that changes the Test value to 1 in Class1. You current example doesn''t show the problem sufficiently for anyone to answer it.

Here is the actual code:

Childframe creates the variables and changes the values when a toolbar button is pressed.

CChildFrame::CChildFrame()
{
// TODO: add member initialization code here
m_MoveView = 0;
m_ZoomView = 0;
m_RotateView = 0;
}

void CChildFrame::OnViewMove()
{
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
m_MoveView = 1;
m_ZoomView = 0;
m_RotateView = 0;
}

void CChildFrame::OnViewRotate()
{
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
m_MoveView = 0;
m_ZoomView = 0;
m_RotateView = 1;
}

void CChildFrame::OnViewZoom()
{
// TODO: Add your command handler code here
m_MoveView = 0;
m_ZoomView = 1;
m_RotateView = 0;
}

In another CView class. When the left mouse button is pressed. The value is shown.

void CTop::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
CString Test;

CChildFrame *pointer = new CChildFrame;

Test.Format("%1i", pointer->m_MoveView);

delete pointer;

MessageBox(Test);

COpenGL::OnLButtonDown(nFlags, point);
}

Looks to me your just creating an instance of the CChildFrame class, which calls the default constructor, thusly setting the m_MoveView member to 0.

After that returns you get that value and store it in a string, which indeed should be 0. (You never modified it anywhere!)

Finally you delete the instance of the class which destroys any information that class may have contained.

On the next mouse press, the process just repeats itself.

Not totally sure what your trying to do, but it seems you''re writing an editor of somekind and wanna change the actions that occur when the user clicks and drags the mouse in one of the 4 view windows. (Just a guess =) )

Thats Right.

I''m Just having trouble getting the state of the toolbar buttons.

Is there another instance of CChildFrame somewhere that is actually receiving events? Because the instance of that class that you''re inspecting is not.

This is the whole class

CChildFrame::CChildFrame()
{
// TODO: add member initialization code here
m_bInitSplitter = FALSE;

m_MoveView = 0;
m_ZoomView = 0;
m_RotateView = 0;
}

CChildFrame::~CChildFrame()
{
}

BOOL CChildFrame:reCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
// the CREATESTRUCT cs

if( !CMDIChildWnd:reCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;

return TRUE;
}
