I use CXTPTabClientWnd for create MTI Bar, Anything is OK. But when I open file(s) that have the long path, it shows only the first part of the full text around 30 charactors in the tab (but it's not the file name I need to show). Then I have some question to ask.

- If I need to cut only the filename and extension, how should I do? Because I show the full path on the title bar already.

- How to set the tooltip when I move the cursor over the tab of them for show the full path?

Thank you.

CXTPTabClientWnd::AddItem() returns a pointer to a CXTPTabManagerItem object, which you can then use to set the tab caption and tool tip.

Something like:

class HikaTabClientWnd : CXTPTabClientWnd
{
public:
BOOL AddTabWindow(CString& fullname, CWnd* pwnd);
};

BOOL HikaTabClientWnd::AddTabWindow(CString& fullname, CWnd* pwnd)
{
GetPaintManager()->m_bDrawTextPathEllipsis = TRUE;        // In case name+ext too long
CXTPTabManagerItem *pitem = AddItem(pwnd);                // Add the window
if (pitem) {
    CXTSplitPath spath(fullname);                           // Split the path
    pitem->SetCaption(spath.GetFName() + spath.GetExt());   // Set the tab caption (name.ext)
    pitem->SetTooltip(fullname);                           // Set the tool tip to the full path
    return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
