CTabCtrl in CListView with CSplitterWnd

Hi, I have a CSplitterWnd, which is associated with a CListView. Now I would like to have a CTabCtrl so I could change the CListView to show another list. Is this even possible or should I use CPropertySheet?

Hi talgraf1,

I would suggest to use a CFormView with the CSplitterWnd - in the CFormView you can use a CTabCtrl. Maybe to do so you need to change your CListView and implement it as a CListCtrl, either as part of the CFormView or within a child dialog you load into the CFormView.

The reason for this more complex solution is that CSplitterWnd force its panes to be CView-derived, therefore you can't use CTabCtrl or CPropertySheet as direct child. And I don't think it's possible to use a CListView as child of a CFormView, therefore I suggest to implement it as CListCtrl.

Hope that helps,

ZOPPO

Hi Zoppo,

Do you mean that I should make the CPropertySheets as child of the CFormView and the CPropertySheets should contain CListViews. Or is it easier if I placed CTabCtrl in the CFormView and made the list just change when the tabs change?
