SftTabs/DLL Wizard Application

The SftTabs/DLL Wizard allows you to design and test a tab control without any programming. Tab labels, the number of tab rows, tab colors, icon and bitmap locations are just a few of the items you can customize. Once you are satisfied with your tab control look, the SftTabs/DLL Wizard can even generate the required run-time code for C or C++ with MFC. So your programming effort is kept to a minimum.
