Whenever I try to convert from void* to a class (like CWnd*) it says explicit casting required. How do you do that? (I'm using VC6) ----------------------------------------------- Here comes the Thnikkaman! [edited by - Yohomyth on May 29, 2004 3:26:32 PM]

void * some_pointer;

CWnd * window1 = reinterpret_cast<CWnd *>(some_pointer);
CWnd * window2 = (CWnd *)some_pointer;
