SUMMARY
=======

In versions of Visual C++ older than 4.0, m_templateList was a public member of
CWinApp. Starting with Visual C++ 4.0 (MFC 4.0) m_templateList is no longer
accessible. m_templateList is a CPtrList object that contains a list of pointers
to an application's document templates (CDocTemplate). CWinApp now provides
public member functions for accessing the document templates
CWinApp::GetFirstDocTemplatePosition() and CWinApp::GetNextDocTemplate(). You
can use these functions to iterate through the list of CDocTemplate objects.

MORE INFORMATION
================

m_templateList is now a protected member of CDocManager, which is in turn a
public member of CWinApp.

Sample Code
-----------

  void CMyApp::DocTemplatesLoop()
  {
       // this section iterates through all document templates
       POSITION pos = GetFirstDocTemplatePosition();
       while (pos)
       {
            CDocTemplate* pTemplate = GetNextDocTemplate(pos);
            // use pTemplate
       }
  }
