Greg,

If you are using MFC and the document/view architecture then you can add a member variable to the document class. This can then be accessed by your views using code like this:

CTestDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
ASSERT_VALID(pDoc);

pDoc->m_testflag = 1;

If you are not using the document/view architecture then open up the source file that ends in App, for example a wizard generated project called TestMFC would have a CTestMFCApp source file. Before or after the line that reads

CTestmfcApp theApp;

add your global variables like so.

CTestmfcApp theApp;

int testflag;

The testflag variable should now appear under the Globals node of ClassView tab.
