CXTTablCtrl doesn't seem to send children WM_SIZE.

   I have a CXTTablCtrl in a CXTResizeDialog, and did SetResize(IDC_TAB,SZ_TOP_LEFT,SZ_BOTTOM_RIGHT);  the tab control moves with the window borders as expected.  The problem is that the children inside the tabs (via InsertItem()) are also CXTResizeDialogs, but they never, ever resize.  They size exactly once, and that's when the window is created, because that's the only time they get a WM_SIZE message.  I tried trapping OnSize() in the window that owns the tab and forwarding it to the children, but that didn't seem to work.

Any ideas?  I looked at the TabCtrl sample, but it only have CView-based windows or a CListBox.   Any ideas?

Thanks!

	I do this frequently, and have never had the problem you describe. Are you creating the tab control explicitly, or through DDX? Can you show the code you use to associate the dialogs with the tab control?

	Guess you need AddControl instead of InsertItem...
