I use CXTPTabControl on a formview then the page's mnemonics do not work any more. Also the tab key doesn't work either.

How can it make it work like in a normal dialog?

Many thanks

Timmy

Think you can catch PreTranslateMessage and manually set page.

form our code:

BOOL CXTPCustomizeSheet::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if (pMsg->message == WM_SYSKEYDOWN)
{
  CTabCtrl* pTabCtrl = GetTabControl();
  if (pTabCtrl)
  {
   for (int i = 0; i < pTabCtrl->GetItemCount(); i++)
   {
    TCHAR lpCaption[256];
    lpCaption[0] = _T('\0');
    TCITEM tcItem;
    tcItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
    tcItem.pszText = lpCaption;
    tcItem.cchTextMax = 256;

    if (pTabCtrl->GetItem(i, &tcItem))
    {
     TCHAR* pAmp = _tcsrchr(lpCaption, _T('&'));
     if (pAmp)
     {
      if (CXTPShortcutManager::CompareAccelKey(*(pAmp + 1), (TCHAR)pMsg->wParam))
      {
       SetActivePage(i);
       return TRUE;
      }

     }
    }
   }

}
}
return CPropertySheet::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

Thanks. But my problem is the ampersands inside the property pages are not working. Here is the hierarchy of UI classes:

CPropertyPage -> CXTPTabControl -> CXTResizeFormView

Plus the tab key, which is used to navigate through the controls in a page, becomes unusable. The Ctrl+Tab is unable to switch between different property pages too.

Thanks.

You use TabControl instead of Tabs for PropertyPages???

Try our CXTPPropertySheet from last releases.

we need to add our own buttons at the bottom, can CXTPPropertySheet do that?

Yes, in OnCreate call AddButton(nIDCaption, nID)
