hi folks

i want to display the message when tab menu is clicked in the CExtTabPageContainerFlatWnd

Thanks in Advance

The pop-up menu with a tab list is called in the CExtTabWnd::OnTabWndClickedButton() virtual method, so, if you want to change the default behavior, you need to override this method in your CExtTabFlatWnd-derived class (i.e. CYourTabFlatWnd). Then you need to override the OnTabWndGetTabImpl() method in the CExtTabPageContainerFlatWnd-derived class and return your CYourTabFlatWnd object:

virtual CExtTabWnd* OnTabWndGetTabImpl()
{
   return new CExtTWPC < CYourTabFlatWnd >;
}

this is my code

 class CManagedTabPageContainer : public CExtTabPageContainerFlatWnd
 {
  class CManagedTabWnd : public CExtTabFlatWnd
  {
   int m_nShift;
   int m_nSize;
  public:
   CManagedTabWnd(){
    m_nShift=-1;
    m_nSize=-1;
   }
   int GetShift(){
    CRect rc;
    GetWindowRect(rc);
    return _CalcRgnShift(
     OrientationIsHorizontal(),
     rc
     );
   }
   int GetSize(){
    return OnFlatTabWndGetSize( OrientationIsHorizontal() );
   }
   void SetShift( int nShift ){
    m_nShift = nShift;
   }
   void SetSize( int nSize ){
    m_nSize = nSize;
   }
  protected:
   virtual int _CalcRgnShift( bool bHorz, const CRect & rc )
   {
    int nShift = 0;
    if( m_nShift >= 0 )
     nShift = m_nShift;
    else
     nShift = ::MulDiv( bHorz ? rc.Height() : rc.Width(), 1, 4 );
    return nShift;
   }
   virtual int OnFlatTabWndGetSize( bool bHorz )
   {
    int nSize = 0;
    if(bHorz)
     if( m_nSize > 0 )
      nSize = m_nSize;
     else
      nSize = 16;//::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXHSCROLL );
    else
     if( m_nSize > 0 )
      nSize = m_nSize;
     else
      nSize = 16;//::GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYHSCROLL );
    return nSize;
   }
  }; // class CManagedTabWnd 
  
  virtual CExtTabWnd* OnTabWndGetTabImpl(){
   return new CExtTWPC < CManagedTabWnd >;
  }
  
  virtual bool OnTabWndClickedButton(
   LONG nHitTest,
   bool bButtonPressed,
   INT nMouseButton, // MK_... values
   UINT nMouseEventFlags)
  {
   ASSERT_VALID( this );
   nMouseButton;
   nMouseEventFlags;

   if( nHitTest==__ETWH_BUTTON_CLOSE &amp;&amp; !bButtonPressed ){
    CString s;
    s.Format(_T("\"Close\" button clicked on page - %d"), PageSelectionGet());
    AfxMessageBox(s);
   }
   if( nHitTest==__ETWH_BUTTON_HELP &amp;&amp; !bButtonPressed ){
    CString s;
    s.Format(_T("\"Help\" button clicked on page - %d"), PageSelectionGet());
    AfxMessageBox(s);
   }
   Invalidate();
   return true;
  }
  public:
   void SetShift( int nShift ){
    ((CManagedTabWnd*)m_pWndTab)->SetShift( nShift );
    ((CManagedTabWnd*)m_pWndTab)->UpdateTabWnd();
   }
   void SetSize( int nSize ){
    ((CManagedTabWnd*)m_pWndTab)->SetSize( nSize );
    ((CManagedTabWnd*)m_pWndTab)->UpdateTabWnd();
    _RepositionBarsImpl();
   }
   int GetShift(){
    return ((CManagedTabWnd*)m_pWndTab)->GetShift();
   }
   int GetSize(){
    return ((CManagedTabWnd*)m_pWndTab)->GetSize();
   }
 }; // class CManagedTabPageContainer 

the above code in MainFrm.h in my pgm.i have overwrite the OnTabWndClickedButton() method( see above) but when i debug the pgm and i clicked the tab menu but the should not fire the OnTabWndClickedButton() this function. can u help me.

You need to override the OnTabWndClickedButton method in the CManagedTabWnd class (not in CManagedTabPageContainer), because CTabPageContainerFlatWnd::OnTabWndClickedButton() is called after it was called in CExtTabWnd.

Below is a OnTabWndClickedButton() method which should be inserted into the CManagedTabWnd class. When you select a new page in the pop-up menu, the message box will appear with a question "Do you want to select the _NAME_ page?". It seem it is what you are asking about.

virtual bool OnTabWndClickedButton(
    LONG nHitTest,
    bool bButtonPressed,
    INT nMouseButton, // MK_... values
    UINT nMouseEventFlags
    )
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    nMouseEventFlags;
    if(        (! bButtonPressed)
        &&    nMouseButton == MK_LBUTTON 
        &&    nHitTest == __ETWH_BUTTON_TAB_LIST
        &&    (GetTabWndStyle() & __ETWS_ENABLED_BTN_TAB_LIST) != 0
        &&    (ItemGetCount() > 0)
        )
    {
        // show tab list popup menu
        CExtPopupMenuWnd * pPopup = new CExtPopupMenuWnd;
        if( pPopup->CreatePopupMenu( GetSafeHwnd() ) )
        {
            UINT nStartID = 0xffff;
            for( LONG nIndex = 0; nIndex < m_arrItems.GetSize(); nIndex++ )
            {
                TAB_ITEM_INFO * pTii = ItemGet( nIndex );
                if( pTii != NULL ) 
                {
                    bool bGrouped = (GetTabWndStyle()&__ETWS_GROUPED) ? true : false;
                    if(        bGrouped 
                        &&    nIndex != 0 
                        )
                    {
                        LONG nGroupStart;
                        LONG nGroupEnd;

                            VERIFY( pPopup->ItemInsertCommand( CExtPopupMenuWnd::TYPE_SEPARATOR, -1 ) );

            nMouseEventFlags
            );
}

i tried this funtion in CManagedTabWnd  but i did not get the answer. ok where can i over write this function MainFrm.h or MainFrm.cpp

Thanks

We have just sent you the TabPages sample with which we tested the behavior discussed earlier.
