Tab control VS. Property sheet
There are articles on CodeGuru & CodeProject about
Resizing Property pages. (And getting the controls to resize as well.)
I am using the PropertySheet in a CFormView from the Link.
(The PropertySheet uses a Picture Control as it's Parent Window. Neat
trick.)
The PropertyPages Stay the same size. I am not resizing the Pages or the
sheet.
The FormView Changes in size with respect to the SplitterWnd.
If the SplitterWnd is too small, scroll bars appear automatically.
I can hide or show the Property Pages, by moving the Splitter Left or Right.
I don't really know just exactly what it is you are doing. Resizing a Sheet
to a View.
I hope you don't have any probs later on.
I seen another article about PropertySheets in a View, but I like the one
from the link.
It works good.
Good Luck,
