Sorry to disturb you...
I have a question regardind the CExtPageContainerWnd class:
I want to put a CExtPageContainerWnd class in a CExtResizableDialog, so the page container is hooked to the dialog.
How can I do this?

Thanks, Paolo

You can use the page container as a custom control on the dialog resource. Add the CExtPageContainerWnd m_wndPC; property to your dialog class, add the DDX_Control( pDX, IDC_YOUR_PAGE_CONTAINER, m_wndPC ); line of code into the DoDataExchange() virtual method of your dialog class, drop the custom control onto your dialog template resource, specify the IDC_YOUR_PAGE_CONTAINER as its identifier and ProfUIS-PageContainerWnd as the custom control’s window class name. Finally initialize pages of the m_wndPC window in the OnInitDialog() virtual method.

Can you provide me with an example about how to insert a CExtPageContainerWnd in a dialog?
I explain you my problem: I’m trying to insert in a dialog box your CCustomDrawnPageContainer (from your examples).
I added the CCustomDrawnPageContainer property, the DDX_Control(...), but it doesn’t work..
In particular, I can’t hook the CCustomDrawnPageContainer property to the custom control inserted in the Dialog.

Thanks, Paolo

Here is a simple project which demonstrates how to create the page container control as a custom control. Please note that the control is non initialized, so you should do this yourself.

Thanks for your help..
But I have some trouble on insert the pages in the controls.
My steps are the follow:
1. I create a dialog (with style=CHILD, border=NONE and CLIP CHILDREN)
2. I inserted as property in the main dialog
3. In the OnInitDialog(..) handler I create it (with Create(IDD, this))
4. I call the m_wndPageContainer.PageInsert(dlg, ...)
I have a Debug assertion in CExtPageContainerWnd->GetPageContainerWnd()

What I miss or wrong?
Thanks, Paolo

Please ensure you have created the child page dialog as a child of the page container window and not as a child of the dialog window.

Exact...
Sorry; I correct my mistake just after post the question...
With this control, how can I set the __EPCW_PAGEBORDERS style to show the border?

You can change the page container control’s styles using the CExtPageContainerWnd::ModifyPageContainerStyle() method:

CExtPageContainerWnd * pWndPageContainer = . . .
pWndPageContainer->ModifyPageContainerStyle( __EPCWS_PAGE_BORDERS, 0, true );
