You need to apply that cast. Overloading operation MyClass doesn't mean that you can call members of MyClass using MyClassReference object. By doing this,you can cast MyClassReference class object for MyClass class.

CWnd::GetFocus returns pointer to window having focus.

int status = CView::OnMouseActivate(pDesktopWnd, nHitTest, message);
if(GetFocus()!=GetParent())

This should be like this,

if((*GetFocus())!=(*GetParent()))
{
 //your code
}

int CImageView::OnMouseActivate(CWnd* pDesktopWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
int status = CView::OnMouseActivate(pDesktopWnd, nHitTest, message);
if((*GetFocus())!=(*GetParent()))
GetParentFrame()->SetFocus()->RedrawWindow();
return status;
}

I have one Doc/view applivation in that i have one other dialog box also.
so when i click inside the view of my chid frame i want to check if this chid has foucs or not because if this frame has allready focus i dont need to redraw window other wise if dialog has foucs i have to set foucs the chid frame containing that view and redraw widnow.

for that in onmouseactive i wnat to check child frame is fouced or dialog box has foucs.

Whenever you click on a window, it will get focus automatically.

yes it will be

what i want is if child frame is focused and I click in client area of child i dont want to call GetParentFrame()->SetFocus()->RedrawWindow().

but in other case if dialog is focused and when i click on client area of child it will be focused but in addition i want to call GetParentFrame()->SetFocus()->RedrawWindow() function.

for that i want to know befour i have clicked is this child window is fouced or dialog.

I really cant understand your requirement. In this case, you will never get focus on dialog in your question.

Dear, Dear,
I understand the problem now.
Refer your original code,
You are comparing window with focus with parent window of view, which will be child frame.
You need to modify your original code to this,

int CImageView::OnMouseActivate(CWnd* pDesktopWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
if((*GetFocus())!= (*this))
SetFocus()->RedrawWindow();
return CWnd::OnMouseActivate(pDesktopWnd, nHitTest, message);
}
