Tabbed SDI

Hi All.

I have a program where I would like to have multiple views to a single document.  But I also want to have each view to have a tab like I would in an MDI application with CXTPTabClientWnd.  Is there any way to accomplish this?

Cheers and Happy New Year!

clintsinger,

You can do this with CXTPTabView.  I have an SDI application with tabs for multiple views to a single document.  Just modify the generated CMyAppView class to inherit from CXTPTabView.

Then, if you want to add a view/tab, I just do this:

AddView(_T(title.GetBuffer()), RUNTIME_CLASS(MyClassView), GetDocument(), NULL, -1, 0);

where MyClassView is the view to create for the tab.  For example,  CXTListView if you want a list.

The above technique has a drawback: Users can't drag/rearrange tabs like they can in visual C++.  Its also a bit indirect to determine which tab is frontmost (you get a wnd* ptr rather than a tab index).

Oleg's tabmanager sounds like it would be really helpful.
