From: Chester on 3 Mar 2010 14:03 Hi guyz, I have been trying hard to use tabcontrol in vc+ win32 api but cant find any tutorials or useful information in msdn to help me. So far i have made 2 dialogs in resource editor Dialog1 and Dialog2 and added tab control to Dialog1 and now i want to display dialog2 as first tabpage on tabcontrol mentioned above. Till now i have sucessfully added and displayed a tabcontrol with two tabpages but with titles only. Can any1 tell me how to add dialog to a tabpage now ??? Function i am currently using to initialize tabcontrol - void InitTabControl(HWND tabHandle) { TCITEM item; item.mask = TCIF_TEXT; item.pszText = L"Appearence"; item.cchTextMax = 6; item.iImage = -1; item.dwState = TCIS_BUTTONPRESSED; SendMessage(tabHandle,TCM_INSERTITEM,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM) (LPTCITEM)&item); item.mask = TCIF_TEXT; item.pszText = L"Particles"; item.cchTextMax = 6; item.iImage = -1; item.dwState = TCIS_BUTTONPRESSED; SendMessage(tabHandle,TCM_INSERTITEM,(WPARAM)1,(LPARAM) (LPTCITEM)&item); }

Thats it.

In the dialogs turn off the titlebar style and border style. That will make them look like part of the tab control. You can create both of the dialogs when you create the tab control. (Use CreateDialog). Make one visible and one invisible. Use MoveWindow to place it on the tab control. When a tab is clicked make the appropriate one visible and the other one invisible.

Thanx for helping but am kinda stuck in CreateDialog only. Dunno why it is not working am copy pasting the new code here - (Is there any way to show code in blocks ?) void InitTabControl(HWND tabHandle) { TCITEM item; item.mask = TCIF_TEXT; item.pszText = L"Appearence"; item.cchTextMax = 6; item.iImage = -1; item.dwState = TCIS_BUTTONPRESSED; SendMessage(tabHandle,TCM_INSERTITEM,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM) (LPTCITEM)&item); item.mask = TCIF_TEXT; item.pszText = L"Particles"; item.cchTextMax = 6; item.iImage = -1; item.dwState = TCIS_BUTTONPRESSED; SendMessage(tabHandle,TCM_INSERTITEM,(WPARAM)1,(LPARAM) (LPTCITEM)&item); colorDialogHandle = CreateDialog(hInst,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOGColor), GetDlgItem(settingHandle,IDC_TAB1),WndProcColor); if(colorDialogHandle==NULL) { MessageBox(0,L"Error Creating Color Dialog",0,0); } ShowWindow(colorDialogHandle,SW_HIDE); particlesDialogHandle = CreateDialog(hInst,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOGParticles), GetDlgItem(settingHandle,IDC_TAB1),WndProcParticles); if(particlesDialogHandle==NULL) { MessageBox(0,L"Error Creating Particles Dialog",0,0); } ShowWindow(particlesDialogHandle,SW_HIDE); ShowTabDialog(0); } ///////////Some code from resource.rc for all 3 dialogs ///////////// /////////Dialog settings IDD_DIALOGSETTINGS DIALOGEX 0, 0, 350, 212 STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Particle System Editor Settings " FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 400, 0, 0x1 BEGIN CONTROL "",IDC_TAB1,"SysTabControl32",0x0,7,7,336,198 END ///////////DialogColor IDD_DIALOGColor DIALOGEX 0, 0, 276, 174 STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_CHILD | WS_SYSMENU FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 400, 0, 0x1 BEGIN GROUPBOX "Blend Options",IDC_STATIC,7,7,113,55,BS_CENTER LTEXT "SrcBlend",IDC_STATIC,14,23,28,8 LTEXT "DestBlend",IDC_STATIC,15,44,33,8 COMBOBOX IDC_COMBOSrcBlend,51,22,58,41,CBS_DROPDOWN | CBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP COMBOBOX IDC_COMBODestBlend,51,41,58,41,CBS_DROPDOWN | CBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP PUSHBUTTON "Choose Texture",IDC_BUTTONChooseTexture, 165,16,61,14 PUSHBUTTON "Clear Texture",IDC_BUTTONClearTexture, 165,36,61,14 GROUPBOX "Particle Color",IDC_STATIC,7,68,246,54,BS_CENTER GROUPBOX "Minimum",IDC_STATIC,14,75,111,44,BS_CENTER GROUPBOX "Maximum",IDC_STATIC,131,75,115,44,BS_CENTER PUSHBUTTON "color",IDC_BUTTONColorMin,23,92,22,14 LTEXT "Alpha",IDC_STATIC,54,95,19,8 EDITTEXT IDC_EDITColorMin,82,92,28,14,ES_AUTOHSCROLL PUSHBUTTON "color",IDC_BUTTONColorMax,140,90,22,14 LTEXT "Alpha",IDC_STATIC,171,92,19,8 EDITTEXT IDC_EDITColorMax,199,90,28,14,ES_AUTOHSCROLL PUSHBUTTON "Save",IDC_BUTTONSave,15,153,50,14 PUSHBUTTON "Load",IDC_BUTTONLoad,87,153,50,14 END /////////////////////////Dialog Particles IDD_DIALOGParticles DIALOGEX 0, 0, 275, 180 STYLE DS_SETFONT | DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_CONTROL | WS_CHILD FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 400, 0, 0x1 |
