RE: Adding dialogs as pages to a WTL::CTabCtrl

I converted my tabbed dialog application to a property sheet because I
needed the tabs themselves to be tab stops, which was necessary to have them
spoken by a screen reader.

 

Before doing that my blind users were having difficulties.  I learned a lot
working with them!

 

I disabled and hid the property sheet buttons and then expanded the tab
control within the property sheet to cover over where the buttons used to
be.

Subject: [wtl] Adding dialogs as pages to a WTL::CTabCtrl

 

  

I've created a WTL dialog application, and added a CTabCtrl to the CMainDlg,
in order to house the main interface categories, which I've implemented as
borderless, child dialogs.

I've created the child dialog(s) as having the tab control as the parent
window:

m_StreamPage.Create( m_tabCtrl, m_rectTabCtrl );
m_StreamPage.SetWindowLongW( GWL_STYLE, WS_CHILD );
m_StreamPage.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

But I can't seem to position the dialogs after creation time - they always
appear over the top of the tab controls, and I can't move them down. I call
this function below to attempt to position the child dialogs, but they never
move.

void CMainDlg::SetTabClientRectangle()
{
RECT tabRect, itemRect; 

m_tabCtrl.GetItemRect(0, &itemRect);
m_tabCtrl.GetClientRect(&tabRect); 

tabRect.top += itemRect.bottom + 2;
tabRect.bottom -= 1; 

m_StreamPage.SetWindowPos(m_tabCtrl.m_hWnd, &tabRect, SWP_SHOWWINDOW); 
}

I think I may be failing to remove a window style from the child dialog
after it's initially created.

All insights greatly appreciated.
