Working with a Tab Control

The easiest way to use a tab control (CTabCtrl) is by adding it to a dialog template resource with the dialog editor. You can also use a tab control by itself. MFC calls InitCommonControls for you. The key tasks are as follows:

• Creating the tab control

• Adding tabs to a tab control

• Processing tab control notification messages

If the tab control object is embedded in a parent view or dialog class, the control is destroyed when the parent is destroyed.
