Tab Dialog
I have built a dialog-based application using C++ MFC Appln Wizard (EXE). All is well until I began to expand (put in lot of editboxes, listboxes,etc). Soon I find that I run out of space in my dialog GUI.
One solution I can think of is to use Tab dialog (like the tab control).
Anyone know how to solve my problem.
Please give detail answer: steps
I hope that I don't have to redo my orginal dialog for this expansion.
Thanks

oops must be comment
1) the tab dialog is a good solution
2) expand the dialog resource's size until it fills the screen (yuk...)
3) create child dialogs and subdivide the functionality between them...
4) create child forms as part of your existing dialog that you can enable and make visible at will...
If any of these sounds good, we can then talk about how to do it... let me know how you want to proceed...

als you can just replace base class for already created dialog. just replace CDialog to the CPropertyPage in the dialog`s header and implementation files.

pls explain more clearly on how to do this for already created dialog.
Ok.
You already have working class derived from CDialog. Our task is transform it to the CPropertyPage derived class. So we must replace base class name at each place where it appear.
excuse me for my poor English I can make little test project and send you by Email (?)
