m_templateList Is No Longer Accessible in Visual C++ 4.0

The information in this article applies to:

• The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) included with: Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0

SUMMARY

In versions of Visual C++ older than 4.0, m_templateList was a public member of CWinApp. Starting with Visual C++ 4.0 (MFC 4.0) m_templateList is no longer accessible. m_templateList is a CPtrList object that contains a list of pointers to an application's document templates (CDocTemplate). CWinApp now provides public member functions for accessing the document templates CWinApp::GetFirstDocTemplatePosition() and CWinApp::GetNextDocTemplate(). You can use these functions to iterate through the list of CDocTemplate objects.

MORE INFORMATION

m_templateList is now a protected member of CDocManager, which is in turn a public member of CWinApp.

Sample Code

void CMyApp::DocTemplatesLoop()

     // this section iterates through all document templates
     POSITION pos = GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
     while (pos)
     {
          CDocTemplate* pTemplate = GetNextDocTemplate(pos);
          // use pTemplate
     }
