Remarks

A "tab control" is analogous to the dividers in a notebook or the labels in a file cabinet. By using a tab control, an application can define multiple pages for the same area of a window or dialog box. Each page consists of a set of information or a group of controls that the application displays when the user selects the corresponding tab. A special type of tab control displays tabs that look like buttons. Clicking a button should immediately perform a command instead of displaying a page.

This control (and therefore the CTabCtrl class) is available only to programs running under Windows 95/98 and Windows NT version 3.51 and later.

For more information about CTabCtrl, see Controls and Using CTabCtrl.

CTabCtrl::AdjustRect

Calculates a tab control's display area given a window rectangle, or calculates the window rectangle that would correspond to a given display area.

void AdjustRect(BOOL bLarger,   LPRECT lpRect);

Parameters

bLarger
Indicates which operation to do. If this parameter is TRUE, lpRect specifies a display rectangle and receives the corresponding window rectangle. If this parameter is FALSE, lpRect specifies a window rectangle and receives the corresponding display rectangle.

lpRect
Pointer to a RECT structure that specifies the given rectangle and receives the calculated rectangle.

Example

void CTabDlg::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
   CDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

   if (m_TabCtrl.m_hWnd == NULL)
      return; // Return if window is not created yet.

   RECT rect;

   // Get size of dialog window.
   GetClientRect(&rect);

   // Adjust the rectangle to fit the tab control into the
   // dialog's client rectangle.
   m_TabCtrl.AdjustRect(FALSE, &rect);

   // Move the tab control to the new position and size.
   m_TabCtrl.MoveWindow(&rect, TRUE);
}

CTabCtrl::Create

Creates a tab control and attaches it to an instance of a CTabCtrl object.

virtual BOOL Create(
    DWORD dwStyle,
    const RECT& rect,
    CWnd* pParentWnd,
    UINT nID);

Parameters

dwStyle
Specifies the tab control's style. Apply any combination of tab control styles, described in the Windows SDK. See Remarks for a list of window styles that you can also apply to the control.

rect
Specifies the tab control's size and position. It can be either a CRect object or a RECT structure.

pParentWnd
Specifies the tab control's parent window, usually a CDialog. It must not be NULL.

nID
Specifies the tab control's ID.

Return Value

TRUE if initialization of the object was successful; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

You construct a CTabCtrl object in two steps. First, call the constructor, and then call Create, which creates the tab control and attaches it to the CTabCtrl object.

In addition to tab control styles, you can apply the following window styles to a tab control:

  • WS_CHILD: Creates a child window that represents the tab control. Cannot be used with the WS_POPUP style.
  • WS_VISIBLE: Creates a tab control that is initially visible.
  • WS_DISABLED: Creates a window that is initially disabled.
  • WS_GROUP: Specifies the first control of a group of controls in which the user can move from one control to the next with the arrow keys. All controls defined with the WS_GROUP: style after the first control belong to the same group. The next control with the WS_GROUP: style ends the style group and starts the next group (that is, one group ends where the next begins).
  • WS_TABSTOP: Specifies one of any number of controls through which the user can move by using the TAB key. The TAB key moves the user to the next control specified by the WS_TABSTOP: style.

To create a tab control with extended window styles, call CTabCtrl::CreateEx instead of Create.

Example

// Assuming you have a member variable m_TabCtrl, that is a CTabCtrl
// object, you can use the following to create a tab control.

m_TabCtrl.Create(TCS_TABS | TCS_FIXEDWIDTH | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE,
                 rect, this, IDC_MYTAB);

// This creates a tab control with the given styles, and with
// an ID of IDC_MYTAB.

CTabCtrl::CreateEx

Creates a control (a child window) and associates it with the CTabCtrl object.

virtual BOOL CreateEx(
    DWORD dwExStyle,
    DWORD dwStyle,
    const RECT& rect,
    CWnd* pParentWnd,
    UINT nID);

Parameters

dwExStyle
Specifies the extended style of the control being created. For a list of extended Windows styles, see the dwExStyle parameter for CreateWindowEx in the Windows SDK.

dwStyle
Specifies the tab control's style. Apply any combination of tab control styles, described in the Windows SDK. See Remarks in Create for a list of window styles that you can also apply to the control.

rect
A reference to a RECT structure describing the size and position of the window to be created, in client coordinates of pParentWnd.

pParentWnd
A pointer to the window that is the control's parent.

nID
The control's child-window ID.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful otherwise 0.

Remarks

Use CreateEx instead of Create to apply extended Windows styles, specified by the Windows extended style preface WS_EX_.

CreateEx creates the control with the extended Windows styles specified by dwExStyle. Set extended styles specific to a control using SetExtendedStyle. For example, use CreateEx to set such styles as WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP, but use SetExtendedStyle to set such styles as TCS_EX_FLATSEPARATORS. For more information, see the styles described in Tab Control Extended Styles in the Windows SDK.

CTabCtrl::CTabCtrl

Constructs a CTabCtrl object.

CTabCtrl();

CTabCtrl::DeleteAllItems

Removes all items from a tab control.

BOOL DeleteAllItems();

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

CTabCtrl::DeleteItem

Removes the specified item from a tab control.

BOOL DeleteItem(int nItem);

Parameters

nItem
Zero-based value of the item to delete.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Example

// This example assumes that there is a CTabCtrl member of the
// CTabDlg class named m_TabCtrl.  On a button handler
// called OnDeleteItem of the dialog box the tab control will
// delete the 0 indexed item.

void CTabDlg::OnDeleteItem()
{
   // Delete the first item in the tab control.
   m_TabCtrl.DeleteItem(0);
}

CTabCtrl::DeselectAll

Resets items in a tab control, clearing any that were pressed.

void DeselectAll(BOOL fExcludeFocus);

Parameters

fExcludeFocus
Flag that specifies the scope of the item deselection. If this parameter is set to FALSE, all tab buttons will be reset. If it's set to TRUE, then all tab items except for the one currently selected will be reset.

Remarks

This member function implements the behavior of the Win32 message, TCM_DESELECTALL, as described in the Windows SDK.

CTabCtrl::DrawItem

Called by the framework when a visual aspect of an owner-draw tab control changes.

virtual void DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct);

Parameters

lpDrawItemStruct
A pointer to a DRAWITEMSTRUCT structure describing the item to be painted.

Remarks

The itemAction member of the DRAWITEMSTRUCT structure defines the drawing action to do.

By default, this member function does nothing. Override this member function to implement drawing for an owner-draw CTabCtrl object.

The application should restore all graphics device interface (GDI) objects selected for the display context supplied in lpDrawItemStruct before this member function terminates.

CTabCtrl::GetCurFocus

Retrieves the index of the tab with the current focus.

int GetCurFocus() const;

Return Value

The zero-based index of the tab with the current focus.

CTabCtrl::GetCurSel

Retrieves the currently selected tab in a tab control.

int GetCurSel() const;

Return Value

Zero-based index of the selected tab if successful or -1 if no tab is selected.

CTabCtrl::GetExtendedStyle

Retrieves the extended styles that are currently in use for the tab control.

DWORD GetExtendedStyle();

Return Value

Represents the extended styles currently in use for the tab control. This value is a combination of tab control extended styles, as described in the Windows SDK.

Remarks

This member function implements the behavior of the Win32 message TCM_GETEXTENDEDSTYLE, as described in the Windows SDK.

CTabCtrl::GetImageList

Retrieves the image list that's associated with a tab control.

CImageList* GetImageList() const;

Return Value

If successful, a pointer to the image list of the tab control; otherwise, NULL.

CTabCtrl::GetItem

Retrieves information about a tab in a tab control.

BOOL GetItem(int nItem,   TCITEM* pTabCtrlItem) const;

Parameters

nItem
Zero-based index of the tab.

pTabCtrlItem
Pointer to a TCITEM structure, used to specify the information to retrieve. Also used to receive information about the tab. This structure is used with the InsertItem, GetItem, and SetItem member functions.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if successful; FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

When the message is sent, the mask member specifies which attributes to return. If the mask member specifies the TCIF_TEXT value, the pszText member must contain the address of the buffer that receives the item text and the cchTextMax member must specify the size of the buffer.

  • mask

    Value specifying which TCITEM structure members to retrieve or set. This member can be zero or a combination of the following values:

    • TCIF_TEXT: The pszText member is valid.
    • TCIF_IMAGE: The iImage member is valid.
    • TCIF_PARAM: The lParam member is valid.
    • TCIF_RTLREADING: The text of pszText is displayed using right-to-left reading order on Hebrew or Arabic systems.
    • TCIF_STATE: The dwState member is valid.

  • pszText

    Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the tab text if the structure contains information about a tab. If the structure is receiving information, this member specifies the address of the buffer that receives the tab text.

  • cchTextMax

    Size of the buffer pointed to by pszText. This member is ignored if the structure is not receiving information.

  • iImage Index into the tab control's image list, or -1 if there is no image for the tab.

  • lParam

    Application-defined data associated with the tab. If there are more than 4 bytes of application-defined data per tab, an application must define a structure and use it instead of the TCITEM structure. The first member of the application-defined structure must be a TCITEMHEADERstructure. The TCITEMHEADER structure is identical to the TCITEM structure, but without the lParam member. The difference between the size of your structure and the size of the TCITEMHEADER structure should equal the number of extra bytes per tab.

Example

// In this example a CTabCtrl data member, m_TabCtrl, changes the
// text of the tabs in the tab control.  A call to GetItem is used
// to get the current text, and then the text is changed.  A call
// to SetItem is used to update the tab with the new text.

void CTabDlg::OnChangeItem()
{
   TCITEM tcItem;
   CString pszString;

   //  Get text for the tab item.
   GetDlgItemText(IDC_ITEM_TEXT, pszString);

   //  Get the current tab item text.
   TCHAR buffer[256] = {0};
   tcItem.pszText = buffer;
   tcItem.cchTextMax = 256;
   tcItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
   m_TabCtrl.GetItem(0, &tcItem);
   TRACE(_T("Changing item text from %s to %s..."), tcItem.pszText, pszString);

   //  Set the new text for the item.
   tcItem.pszText = pszString.LockBuffer();

   //  Set the item in the tab control.
   m_TabCtrl.SetItem(0, &tcItem);

   pszString.UnlockBuffer();
}
