Environment: VC6 SP4
Overview
In an application that sports TabControls with several rows of tabs, it can often be
difficult for the user to distinguish which tab has focus. Therefore, this code will
enable you to easily hilight the text of the active tab (see image above).
Usage
There are only two property page functions to implement (OnSetActive and OnKillActive)
BOOL CMyPage::OnSetActive()
{
CPropertySheet* pParent = (CPropertySheet*)this->GetParent();if (pParent)
{
if (pParent->GetTabControl())
{
short nActiveItem = pParent->GetPageIndex(this);
pParent->GetTabControl()->HighlightItem(nActiveItem);
}
}return CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
}
BOOL CMyPage::OnKillActive()
{
CPropertySheet* pParent = (CPropertySheet*)this->GetParent();
if (pParent)
{
if (pParent->GetTabControl())
{
short nActiveItem = pParent->GetPageIndex(this);
pParent->GetTabControl()->HighlightItem(nActiveItem, FALSE);
}
}return CPropertyPage::OnKillActive();
}
