I have a property sheet (containing 2 property pages) embedded in a dialog box. The tab key works fine among the dialog box controls. But it does not work inside the property sheet. The property sheet can get focus, but once the tab key is hit, the focus moves out of the property sheet and back to other dialog box controls. How can I get the tab key to work inside the property sheet/pages?

Richard,
Have a look at Knowledge Base article Q149501 "PRB: Child CPropertySheet Hangs If Focus Is Switched". It sounds like you need to add the WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT style to the embedded property sheet.
