MFC Initialisation structure problem

I'm trying to create an editor in MFC with DirectX, however I'm run into a bit of a hurdle. I have my program set up as so: I have 4 viewing panes which inherit from my CView class, then I have all my DX stuff and the bulk of everything else in my CDocument class. MFC sets up everything with this nice little call here: 

CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate;
	pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate(
	IDR_MAINFRAME,
	RUNTIME_CLASS(CDoc),
	RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame),       // main SDI frame window
	RUNTIME_CLASS(CView));
The problem is that I need a way to pass the Main hWnd, which doesn't get created until CMainFrame is created, into CDoc, before CView gets called. That or think of a completely different way of organizing my program. Any suggestions, hints, solutions?

Where would you suggest I call it, becuase that function won't return anything until CMainFrame gets created.

why can't you just wait until the main frame is created to create the doc template.
if you think programming is like sex, you probably haven't done much of either.-------------- - capn_midnight

Because MFC requires they be created in that order (Doc, Wnd, View).

Your initialization should be in CDocument::OnNewDocument resp. CView::OnInitialUpdate and then there should be no problem getting hold of the main window.
