I'm using CXTPTabClientWnd in a CXTPMDIFrameWnd derived class.

I would like to create a new tab, without activing it as the active view. Similar to FireFox (when you right click a link and select "Open Link in New Tab").

Right now I do this:

void CMyMainFrame::OnFileNewTab() 
{
 CDocument * pDoc = theApp.m_pDocTemplate->OpenDocumentFile( NULL );
 if( pDoc )
 {
  POSITION pos = pDoc->GetFirstViewPosition();
  if( pos != NULL )
  {
   CMyMainView * pView = (CMyMainView *)(pDoc->GetNextView(pos));
   if( pView )
   {
    pView->GetDocument()->m_strTitle = NEW_DOCUMENT_TITLE;
   }
  }   
 }
}

However that doesn't work, it just opens a new tab and sets it active as the current view. I just want to open it and NOT set it active as current view.

Any ideas for how I can do this?

Hi,

Here sample

void CChildFrame::ActivateFrame(int nCmdShow)
{
if (!m_bActivate)
{
  nCmdShow = SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE;
  m_bActivate = TRUE;
}

CMDIChildWnd::ActivateFrame(nCmdShow);
}
