1082.0. "CFormView and Tabs problem" by STAR::TCARR () Wed Feb 05 1997 10:52

 I am having trouble trying to create a window similar to the 
NT Task Manager. I am using appwizard to make a SDI CFormView
based window so that I have the mainframe controls.
The problem that I am having is getting the tabs on dialog. I
have followed the steps in the Property sheets section but that 
appears to be for a dialog box. It does not seem to work 
for the type of window that I am creating. I can see the tab
object using SPY but it does not appear in the window.

 Any suggestions or simple example would be greatly appreciated.

    Visual C++ property sheets only really support dialogs. I don't know
    about Windows 95 property sheets (on which Visual C++ is based).
    
    The way we solved this is to write out own CTabView - basically a view
    with a tab control that displays dialogs. It displays the appropriate
    dialog page when you click on the tab.
