Protected Methods

Name Description
CMFCBaseTabCtrl::CreateWrapper Creates a wrapper for an object derived from CWnd that is not derived from CDockablePane. To dock a CMFCBaseTabCtrl object, every embedded control must either have a docking wrapper or be derived from CDockablePane.

You set the class of the wrapper by using SetDockingBayWrapperRTC.

Data Members

Name Description
CMFCBaseTabCtrl::m_bActivateTabOnRightClick Specifies whether tabs are selected by using a left mouse click or a right mouse click.
CMFCBaseTabCtrl::m_bAutoDestroyWindow Specifies whether the panes that are contained in the tabs are destroyed automatically.

Remarks

The CMFCBaseTabCtrl class is an abstract class. Therefore, it cannot be instantiated. To create a tabbed window, you must derive a class from CMFCBaseTabCtrl. The MFC library contains some derived class examples, two of which are CMFCTabCtrl Class and CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl Class.

Starting with Visual Studio 2015, this class supports Microsoft Active Accessibility.

Customization Tips

The following tips pertain to the CMFCBaseTabCtrl Class and any classes that inherit from it:

  • If you enable detachable tabs, do not keep pointers to the tabbed windows. These detachable tabs can be created and destroyed dynamically. Therefore, pointers can become invalid.

  • You can configure the tab control so that users can move tabs dynamically on a tab control by using the mouse. This functionality is built into the CMFCBaseTabCtrl class. To enable it, call CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableTabSwap.

  • By default, tabs are detachable when you add them to a tab control. You can also add non-detachable tabs by using CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AddTab. If you set the parameter bDetachable to FALSE, the tab will not be detachable. You can also change whether tabs are detachable by calling the method CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableTabDetach.

  • Objects that are derived from the CWnd Class can be put on a dockable control bar or dockable tab. For the whole control to be docked, you must make the CWnd object dockable. To accomplish this, MFC uses a wrapper class. This wrapper class is the CDockablePaneAdapter Class. Any CWnd objects that are added to a dockable control bar or dockable tab will be wrapped inside a CDockablePaneAdapter object. You can disable the automatic wrapping by setting the parameter m_bEnableWrapping of your CMFCBaseTablCtrl object to FALSE. You can also change the class that your application will use as a wrapper by using the method CMFCBaseTabCtrl::SetDockingBarWrapperRTC.

Requirements

Header: afxbasetabctrl.h

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AddIcon

Adds an icon to the list of icons in the protected CMap``m_mapAddedIcons member.

void AddIcon(
    HICON hIcon,  
    int iIcon);

Parameters

[in] hIcon
A handle to the icon to be added.

[in] iIcon
Zero-based index of the icon in the protected CImageList``m_Images member.

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AddTab

Adds a new tab to the tab control.

virtual void AddTab(
    CWnd* pTabWnd,  
    LPCTSTR lpszTabLabel,  
    UINT uiImageId = (UINT)-1,,  
    BOOL bDetachable = TRUE);

 
virtual void AddTab(
    CWnd* pTabWnd,  
    UINT uiResTabLabel,  
    UINT uiImageId = (UINT)-1,  
    BOOL bDetachable = TRUE);

Parameters

[in] pTabWnd
A pointer to the window that this method represents as a new tab.

[in] lpszTabLabel
A string that contains the label for the new tab.

[in] uiImageId
An image ID from the image list. The tab control uses this image as the icon for the new tab.

[in] uiResTabLabel
The resource ID for the label.

[in] bDetachable
A Boolean parameter that determines whether the new tab is detachable.

Remarks

If pTabWnd points to an object that is not derived from the CDockablePane Class and if bDetachable is TRUE, the framework automatically creates a wrapper for the pTabWnd object. The wrapper makes the pTabWnd object detachable. By default, the wrapper is an instance of the CDockablePaneAdapter Class. If the functionality offered by the default wrapper is unacceptable, use the CMFCBaseTabCtrl::SetDockingBarWrapperRTC method to specify a different wrapper.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::ApplyRestoredTabInfo

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

virtual void ApplyRestoredTabInfo(BOOL bUseTabIndexes = FALSE);

Parameters

[in] bUseTabIndexes

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AutoDestroyWindow

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

void AutoDestroyWindow(BOOL bAutoDestroy = TRUE);

Parameters

[in] bAutoDestroy

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::CalcRectEdit

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

virtual void CalcRectEdit(CRect& rectEdit);

Parameters

[in] rectEdit

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::CleanUp

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

virtual void CleanUp();

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::ClearImageList

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

virtual void ClearImageList();

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::CreateWrapper

Creates a wrapper for a frame window that is derived from the CWnd Class but is not derived from the CDockablePane Class.

virtual CWnd* CreateWrapper(
    CWnd* pWndToWrap,  
    LPCTSTR lpszTabLabel,  
    BOOL bDetachable);

Parameters

[in] pWndToWrap
A pointer to the frame window that is wrapped.

[in] lpszTabLabel
A string that contains the label for the window.

[in] bDetachable
A Boolean parameter that indicates whether the window is detachable.

Return Value

A pointer to wrapper derived from the CDockablePane class if CreateWrapper successfully creates a wrapper class for pWndToWrap. If the method fails, it retruns pWndToWrap.

Remarks

A tabbed window can dock any object derived from CWnd. However, in order for a CMFCBaseTabCtrl Class object to be dockable, each object on the CMFCBaseTabCtrl must be detachable. Therefore, CMFCBaseTabCtrl automatically wraps any objects that are not derived from CDockablePane.

By default, the CMFCBaseTabCtrl creates instances of the CDockablePaneAdapter Class. To change the wrapper's default class, call CMFCBaseTabCtrl::SetDockingBarWrapperRTC.

If pWndToWrap is derived from CDockablePane, this method will not create a wrapper. Instead, it will fail and return pWndToWrap.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::DetachTab

The framework calls this method to detach a tab from the tab control.

virtual BOOL DetachTab(
    AFX_DOCK_METHOD dockMethod,  
    int nTabNum = -1,  
    BOOL bHide = FALSE);

Parameters

[in] dockMethod
An enumerated data type provided by the CBasePane Class. This data type specifies the method that was used to detach the tab.

[in] nTabNum
The zero-based index of the tab to be detached.

[in] bHide
A Boolean parameter that indicates whether the framework should hide the detached tab.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

If the tab specified by nTabNum is non-detachable, this function fails and returns FALSE.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableActivateLastActive

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

void EnableActivateLastActive(BOOL bLastActive = TRUE);

Parameters

[in] bLastActive

Remarks

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableAutoColor

Controls whether the framework uses the automatic background colors when drawing a tab.

void EnableAutoColor(BOOL bEnable = TRUE);

Parameters

[in] bEnable
A Boolean parameter that determines whether the framework uses automatic colors.

Remarks

A tab control has an array of several predefined colors. When the framework uses automatic colors, each tab in a series of tabs is assigned the next color from this array.

By default, the automatic colors are determined by the library-defined colors. You can provide a custom array of colors by calling CMFCBaseTabCtrl::SetAutoColors.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableCustomToolTips

Enables custom tooltips for the tab control.

BOOL EnableCustomToolTips(BOOL bEnable = TRUE);

Parameters

[in] bEnable
A Boolean that determines whether to use custom tooltips.

Return Value

TRUE if successful; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

If custom tooltips are enabled, the tab control sends the AFX_WM_ON_GET_TAB_TOOLTIP message to the main frame. If you want to support custom tooltips in your application, the main frame window must handle this method and provide the custom tooltip text. For more information about providing custom tooltip text, see CMFCTabToolTipInfo Structure.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableInPlaceEdit

Enables direct editing of the tab labels by the user.

virtual void EnableInPlaceEdit(BOOL bEnable) = 0;  

Parameters

[in] bEnable
A Boolean parameter that specifies whether to enable direct editing of the tab labels.

Remarks

By default, direct editing of the tab labels is disabled for tab controls.

You can enable direct editing for a subset of the tabs on the tab control. To do this, override the method CMFCBaseTabCtrl::StartRenameTab. StartRenameTab should return a nonzero value for all tabs that support direct editing of tab labels.

In the CMFCBaseTabCtrl Class, this method is a pure virtual function and has no implementation. If you derive a class from CMFCBaseTabCtrl, you must implement this function.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableTabDetach

Enables detachable tabs.

virtual BOOL EnableTabDetach(
    int iTab,  
    BOOL bEnable);

Parameters

[in] iTab
The zero-based index of a tab.

[in] bEnable
A Boolean that indicates whether to make the tab detachable.

Return Value

TRUE if successful; otherwise FALSE.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnableTabSwap

Enables the user to change the tab order using a mouse.

void EnableTabSwap(BOOL bEnable);

Parameters

[in] bEnable
A Boolean that indicates whether to enable tab swapping.

Remarks

When tab swapping is enabled, the user can drag a tab and change its relative position in the tab control.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnsureVisible

Scrolls the tabs until the specified tab is visible.

virtual BOOL EnsureVisible(int iTab);

Parameters

[in] iTab
The zero-based index of a tab.

Return Value

Nonzero if successful; otherwise 0.

Remarks

This method has no effect if the tab indicated by iTab is already visible.

By default, this method is not supported by the CMFCBaseTabCtrl Class. You should implement this function in a custom class derived from CMFCBaseTabCtrl if that custom tab control supports tab scrolling. This method is supported by the CMFCTabCtrl Class.

CMFCBaseTabCtrl::EnterDragMode

This topic is included for completeness. For more detail see the source code located in the VC\atlmfc\src\mfc folder of your Visual Studio installation.

void EnterDragMode();

Parameters

[in] pt
A point that is defined by using client-area coordinates of the CMFCBaseTabCtrl object.

Return Value

A pointer to a CWnd object if successful; otherwise NULL.

Remarks

In the CMFCBaseTabCtrl class, this method is a pure virtual function: you must implement it if you derive a class from CMFCBaseTabCtrl.
