Date: 2009sep29 Language: C++ Framework: MFC Keywords: RTTI (Run Time Type Identification) OS: Windows Q. MFC: How can I do run-time type checking with MFC? A. If your class inherits from CObject (which all the Microsoft MFC classes do) you can use the IsKindOf() method like this:

if (pMyObject->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS( CMyClass) ) ); { MessageBox(..., "Yes, its the right class"); }

Or

ASSERT(pMyObject->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS( CMyClass) ) );

There is even a build in assert for this:

ASSERT_KINDOF(CMyClass, pMyObject);
