Using the TabWorkspace with ATL/WTL

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Does anyone have a sample that uses the TabWorkspace with ATL/WTL?

I have tried extending the CommandBars WTL example to use the tab workspace by adding this line:

    CComPtr<XtremeCommandBars::ITabWorkspace> workSpace = m_spCommandBars->ShowTabWorkspace( TRUE );

But the tab workspace does not appear. And the child MDI windows behave as before, just regular MDI windows.  Any ideas?

Additionaly when I place the same line in my actual application (rather
than the sample WTL one) the returned workSpace variable is NULL. 
Again, any ideas why?

Thanks,

- James

	m_spCommandBars->ShowTabWorkspace(VARIANT_TRUE);

	Where's the smack head emoticon... Thanks Oleg. Perhaps before I investigate why the workspace returned in my app (works in the WTL sample) is NULL. I should ask this: Is it possible to create customer layouts for the tabs of the workspace? For example rather than just the new horizontal/vertical group would it be possible to have one with 4 groups in a quad? (ie. 2 tab groups on top and 2 underneith). If this is not possible we will have to look into creating some type of custom windowing, do you think it would possible perhaps using a tab control embeded in a docked pane?
