Get Document Class Name

Question

How can I get class name of a document in my program. I mean, I have done this:

pDocTemplate = new CMultiDocTemplate(
   IDR_FRAMETYPE,
   RUNTIME_CLASS(CFrameDoc2D),
   RUNTIME_CLASS(CEditorChildFrame),
   RUNTIME_CLASS(CFrameView));
gl_pDocTemplateManager->AddTemplateInfo("CMyDoc", eStructure);
AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate);

I want to get CMyDoc string in another project (.dll) of my MSVC solution via CDocument class. I can't cast to a specific document class due to cyclic dependencies.

I'm not sure what AddTemplateInfo() does, it does not seem to be a standard MFC function.

To get the name of the class, you could use something like:

CRuntimeClass *pClass = pDoc->GetRuntimeClass();
if (pClass != NULL)
    TRACE(_T("Document class = %S\n"), pClass->m_lpszClassName);

NOTE: m_lpszClassName is ASCII (LPCSTR) and the code above assumes your project is based on Unicode -- otherwise, change %S to %s.
