How to get active view pointer?

Environment: VC++ 1.52, Win 95

I have a distributable AFXDLL which is dependent on two other Extension
Dlls.
              / Package.dll  -- Extension DLL
    Engine.Dll 
    |         \ Design.dll   -- Extension Dll
    |
  _AFXDLL

This Engine.Dll creates a CFrameWnd and also a view for an SDI Document
template. The calling application is an _AFXDLL compiled EXE and this
has an application object.

Problem:
I need to get the active View pointer created by Engine.Dll
I can't use AfxGetMainWnd() because it returns the applications Framewnd
And that does not contain any active view. 

How can I get the Frame window pointer?

Hi Senthil,

	I had ran in to same type of problem while working with VC4.2b on Win
95. When I tried to call AfxGetMainWindow, I was getting applications
main window in the Exported function of the .dll. Then I used 
AFX_MANAGE_STATE macro to set the proper state in the Exported function
to work it properly. You can try the same but keep this as a last option
to try out. 

	You can get more help on AFX_MANAGE_STATE in Online Help or in MSDN. 

	It's just a guess. Hope it works.

	Regards

You must be calling some function in your Engine DLL to initiate this 
creation process. Let this function return a FAR pointer to that view/frame. 

Surely, this can't be your problem.... is there more to the question???
