In my CFormView I've implemented CXTTabCtrl control, and in my OnInitialUpdate I set a font like m_tabCtrl.SetFont(font), and it's all working fine. But when I change tab orientation like m_tabCtrl.ModifyTabStyle(0, TCS_BOTTOM) that font is suddenly lost? I also have some icons on those tab buttons but they're drawn perfectly. It seems that font info is kept only in tab upper state (vertical left/right or horizontal bottom doesn't show my font). How to make CXTTabCtrl to work with my font in bottom orientation?

Sorry, CXTTabCtrl always use XTAuxData().font font. You can try our CXTPTabControl instead.

So now I've implemented CXTPTabControl and it's generally working fine but I cannot seem to find how to apply that nice texture that CXTTabCtrl had. I've tried

XTPSkinManager()->EnableThemeDialogTexture(m_tabCtrl.GetSafeHwnd(),ETDT_ENABLETAB);

and

m_tabCtrl.EnableTabThemeTexture(m_tabCtrl.GetSafeHwnd(), 1);

but none of those functions apply texture? How can we achieve this?

Hi,

Try m_wndTabControl.GetPaintManager()->SetColor(xtpTabColorWinXP);

I've implemented the above and it's working great. But it seems that my CXTPTabControl doesn't respond to mouse click so I cannot change tabs? I just placed the control onto my CDialog and I'm dynamically rearranging controls on those tabs (so user thinks it's changing tabs, but actually it just CXTPTabControls with its tabs and my own controls on CDialog changing states). How about those mouse clicks?

No, you need to put this statement in all of your pages' OnInitDialog():

BOOL CMyTabPage::OnInitDialog()

{

CPropertyPage::OnInitDialog();

XTPSkinManager()->EnableThemeDialogTexture(m_hWnd, ETDT_ENABLETAB);

...
