Hi guys,

I have an SDI Application that has a Listbox on the left and a CXTTabView on the right. Depending on the users selection on the left I add 3 views to the Tab view. Every time the selection changes, I clear the views and add new ones, 3 views 1 2 and 3. Now here is my problem everytime I call AddView the tab control sets that view as the active view, so at the end of the calls tab 3 is the active tab, but I want tab 1 to be the active tab, and I have to call SetActiveView. And this causes a flicker. In order to get around this, I had to get rid of the call to SetActiveView in CXTTabCtrlBaseEx::AddControl, and also change the default window style in CXTTabCtrlBaseEx::CreateTabView from AFX_WS_DEFAULT_VIEW to WS_CHILD|WS_BORDER, in order to get rid of the WS_VISIBLE flag.

I also tried to insert the items in reverse order and that didn''t help the flickering because each tab is displayed as it is inserted. So inserting many tabs in a row will cause alot of flicker.

I was wondering if you guys would be intersted in allow the user to pass a bool to the AddView method to indicate whether they want to switch to the tab after it was created or not (if not don''t use the WS_VISIBLE flag and don''t call SetActiveView()). That would make my life easier when it comes time to upgrade to your new version.

If you know of a better way to do this please feel free to let me know.

Thanks
