Hi, Our requirement is to have tab control at the bottom of view and each tab contains icon + text. In "ExcelTabView" the tab cotrol are displayed at the bottom but I do not found any icon added to tabs. 1. Can we add icon to tabs in "ExcelTabView" sample program. ? 2. In "TabbedView" sample program the Tabs are placed at the top, can we place the Tab at the bottom? Thanks, Saket |

Hi Oleg, Started with "\Samples\Controls\TabbedView" project # To Display Tabs at the bootm : Works ok -- For the code "m_wndTabControl.GetPaintManager()->SetPosition(xtpTabPositionBottom);" -- Used "CXTPTabExBase::ModifyTabStyle(...)" to display the Tabs at the bottom.
# To Set tabs like excel type: Not able to set Excel type Tab for "TabbedView" sample program -- For the code "m_wndTabControl.SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearanceExcel);" -- how I can get the "m_wndTabControl"?? -- Since In "TabbedView" sample program the class derivation is like below -- class CTabbedViewView : public CXTPTabView -- Adding the Tab with the help of "AddControl(...)" -- "CXTPTabView::GetTabCtrl()" returns "CTabCtrl" -- How I can get the "CXTPTabManager/m_wndTabControl"???? So that We can use "SetAppearance(...)" to set tab like Excel type.????? Thanks, Saket |

Hello, Samples\ToolkitPro\TabbedView sample program uses "CXTPTabView" class and function AddControl(...)" to add the Tabs. With reference of Posted: 27 May 2011; i.e as mentioned below -- Yes, start from TabbedView sample and add such code -- m_wndTabControl.GetPaintManager()->SetPosition(xtpTabPositionBottom); -- m_wndTabControl.SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearanceExcel); I started R&D with "TabbedView" sample which used "CXTPTabView" and tried to add code as suggested code on post 27 May 2011 for the same topic. I modified the sample program "TabbedView" to make use of "SetPosition(...) / SetAppearance(...)" I am attaching the modified code base for "TabbedView" sample program uploads/2903/TabbedViewSK.zip - uploads/2903/TabbedViewSK.zip -- Please refer "int CTabbedViewView::OnCreate(...) " function for tab creation and displaying Tab at bottom Please find the screenshot with QUESTION uploads/2903/Tab-Question.zip - uploads/2903/Tab-Question.zip -- We are giving option to user to display the tabs as "Normal Tab with Icon" OR "Excel type Tab " -- So my question is should I need to uses 2 different way to have 2 different Tab types? i.e. For EXCEL type tab view : Way used in "ExcelTabView" sample program For Normal Tab view: Way used in "TabbedView" sample program OR -- Can we take a single approach for Creating and Displaying Tab( i.e. the approach taken in "TabbedView" sample program) and by using some Class / Function / Code [i.e. SetAppearance(..) ] we can display Tabs from "Normal Type" to "EXCEL type" in the same sample program??? -- Saket |

Still it seems you use wrong sample. Samples\ToolkitPro\TabbedView - use CXTPTabControl that is recommended to use. your sample is based on Samples\Controls\TabbedView ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

I reviewed the sample you mention i.e. Samples\ToolkitPro\TabbedView which uses "CXTPTabControl " class One small query is that -- when we set appearance of tabs as Excel type using "m_wndTabControl.GetPaintManager()->SetAppearance(xtpTabAppearanceExcel);" -- I tried using "FTS_XTP_HASHOMEEND and FTS_XTP_HASARROWS" tab style during the creation of tab, see the code below m_wndTabControl.Create(WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CLIPCHILDREN|WS_CLIPSIBLINGS|FTS_XTP_HASHOMEEND|FTS_XTP_HASARROWS, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), this, IDC_TABCONTROL); How we can get "First/Last/Next/Previous" navigation button for excel type tab in Samples\ToolkitPro\TabbedView sample program ? [Note:] I added more number Tabs, we can see "Scroll Right" and "Scroll Left" button at the right side. If I click on "Scroll Right", it scroll to 1 tab right, But if I pressed "Scroll Right" continuously it scroll till end of right tab. Is there any ways through which we can get "First/Last/Next/Previous" navigation button at the left side ? Thanks in advance ! |

Hi, Sorry, FTS_XTP_HASHOMEEND|FTS_XTP_HASARROWS are not supported by CXTPTabControl and you can only show buttons on right by default. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Ok, thank you very much !
So if we need all four navigation(Home/Previous/Next/End) buttons we need to use the ways given in "\Samples\Controls\ExcelTabView" . Am I Right? |

Yes, right, only CXTPExcelTabCtrl doesn't support icons in tabs like CXTPTabControl. Checking how we can extend CXTPTabControl to show these buttons before tabs. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Thank you very much Oleg ! Help and efforts are appreciated ! I would like to suggest one more thing for this. -- If possible, if we should have some kind of scrolling flag which will be accessible by “CXTPTabControl m_wndTabControl;”, so that user (programmer) can control the scrolling option directly after crating the tab control. please find attached screenshot"Excel type tab Scrolling option.zip" for scrolling options ! uploads/2903/Excel_type_tab_Scrolling_option.zip - uploads/2903/Excel_type_tab_Scrolling_option.zip Best Regards, Saket Kumar |
