activating tabs in CXTPTabControl

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

   I have a dialog attached to an XTPDockingPane.
On the dialog I have several custom buttons (derived from MFC CButton) and a CXTPTabControl with corresponding dialog views (one for each button). Each view in the tab control has a number of edit controls.
Clicking each custom button brings a particular tab to view. The tabs can also be selected/clicked directly from the tab control for editing.

The problem is as follows:
If I select any tab directly, it brings up the particular view and the cursor is placed in the first edit box on the view. However, if I click the custom button, the particular tab is selected and brought to view OK, but it does not place the cursor to the edit box (unless I click the tab directly).

There is OnClicked() message handler in my custom button class that posts a message to the parent dialog to select specified tab (TabControl->SetCurSel(index);)

I also tried to call TabControl->SetFocus(); TabControl->SetSelectedItem(pItem); TabControl->OnItemClick(pItem); even pItem->Select() and pItem-> SetVisible(); but nothing seems to programmatically set the focus to the correct spot (unless I manually click the tab)...

This worked OK when I used MFC CTabCtrl class which makes me believe there is something up with CXTPTabControl�

Any suggestions?
