CSftTabsDialog Class, Member Functions

The class CSftTabsDialog describes a main, tabbed dialog. A CSftTabsDialog based dialog is created using a dialog resource defined using a resource editor. A CSftTabsDialog based dialog contains at least one tab control (CSftTabs based) and optionally buttons, such as OK, Cancel, and other Windows controls.

CSftTabsDialog is derived from CDialog.

Member	Description
ClosePossible	Determines whether a tabbed dialog can be closed.
CSftTabsDialog	Standard constructor.
GetModified	Retrieves the current data modification flag for the tabbed dialog.
InitializeTabControl	Initializes a tab control in a tabbed dialog. Activates the specified tab and the associated page.
m_fInitializing	Defines the current initialization status.
m_fModified	Defines the current data modification status.
OnCancel	Called when the user hits the ESCAPE key or clicks the Cancel button (the button with an ID of IDCANCEL).
OnOK	Called when the user clicks the OK button (the button with an ID of IDOK).
SetClose	Signals that data has been changed permanently and the tabbed dialog can no longer be Cancel'ed.
SetModified	Sets the current data modification flag for the tabbed dialog.

CSftTabsPage Class, Member Functions

The class CSftTabsPage describes a dialog (called page) attached to a tab control, which is embedded in a CSftTabsDialog based dialog. A CSftTabsPage based dialog is created using a dialog resource defined using a resource editor. A CSftTabsPage based dialog contains Windows controls and may optionally also include a tab control with nested CSftTabsPage objects attached to the tab control.

CSftTabsPage is derived from CDialog.

Member	Description
AllowDestroy	Determines whether a page should be destroyed when it is no longer visible because the associated tab is no longer the currently active tab.
AllowSwitch	Determines whether a currently active page can be left and a new page activated.
ClosePossible	Determines whether a page can be closed.
CSftTabsPage	Standard constructor.
GetModified	Returns the current data modification flag for the tabbed dialog.
GetParentDialog	Returns the page's parent dialog object.
InitializeTabControl	Initializes a tab control in a page. Activates the specified tab and the associated page.
m_flagDrawBackground	Defines background handling for the tab page.
m_lpfnDrawBackground	Contains a pointer to the application supplied background handling callback for the tab page.
m_pTabCtl	Contains a pointer to the tab control object to which the page is attached.
m_UserDataBackground	Defines an application defined value that is passed to the background drawing callback CSftTabsPage::m_lpfnDrawBackground as the UserData parameter.
OnCancel	Called when the user clicks the Cancel button (the button with an ID of IDCANCEL).
OnOK	Called when the user clicks the OK button (the button with an ID of IDOK).
SetClose	Signals that data has been changed permanently and the tabbed dialog can no longer be Cancel'ed.
SetModified	Sets the current data modification flag for the tabbed dialog.

CSftTabsWindowSheet Class, Member Functions

The class CSftTabsWindowSheet describes the support necessary for a tabbed, main window. A tabbed window is usually created dynamically using the CWnd::Create function. A tabbed window contains at least one tab control (CSftTabs based) and optionally other Windows controls.

The class CSftTabsWindowSheet is used to add tabbed window support to most CWnd derived classes.

This is accomplished using multiple inheritance. You supply the CWnd derived class, and through multiple inheritance, the class can then be used as a tabbed window, containing one or more tab controls with attached pages.

Member	Description
ClosePossible	Determines whether a tabbed window can be closed.
CSftTabsWindowSheet	Standard constructor.
InitializeTabControl	Initializes a tab control in a tabbed window. Activates the specified tab and the associated page.
TabSwitched	Handles the SFTTABSN_SWITCHED notification.
TabSwitching	Handles the SFTTABSN_SWITCHING notification.
TerminateTabControl	Terminates a tab control and deactivates all pages.

CSftTabsWindowPage Class, Member Functions

The class CSftTabsWindowPage describes the support necessary for a window to be used as a page in a tabbed window. A CSftTabsWindowPage based window is typically created dynamically (at run-time) when the user switches to a tab.

The class CSftTabsWindowPage is used to add support to most CWnd derived classes so they can be used as pages in a tabbed window.

This is accomplished using multiple inheritance. You supply the CWnd derived class, and through multiple inheritance, the class can then be used as a page in a tabbed window.

Member	Description
ActivatePage	Creates or activates a page.
AllowSwitch	Determines whether a currently active page can be left and a new page activated.
CSftTabsWindowPage	Standard constructor.
DeactivatePage	Deactivates or destroys a page
