MDI app, but all children maximised with a tab control to select
Sorry to keep posting, but this was something I never managed to do with a
previous project, and its going to be needed for the next project on the
cards.
I want to create an MDI application, with multiple CDocTemplates, allowing
the user to have different file types open at once. However, I want a tab
control along the top of the application, just below the toolbar, with each
child on a separate tab. The children are permanently maximised. As the user
selects the tabs, the view for that child appears in the client area.
Tab controls are designed graphically to contain their pages, and indeed
Property Pages go that step further and actually contain dialog templates. I
tried doing it via this route, but the MDI Children and Property pages
didn't get on very well, and it ended up a right mess in the end. I'm sure
there is a simple way to do this, and I'm undoubtedly making it far more
complicated than necessary (when you are always pushing the limits, its
sometimes hard to see the simple solution).
Yours with hope (and yes, I'll probably feel an idiot when you tell me what
I've missed),
