Could you please provide a sample code of using tabbed tool bars (themed, whidbey, etc.) in dialog-based apps?
I could not make them work or find any help documentation.
Thanks.

The tabbed tool bars can currently be used in frame windows only. We can regard your question as a feature request. Alternatively you can create a frame-based application with one child dialog window as the main view window.

ProfUISAppWizard does not support VS8 frame-based applications creation. Does this mean that I should add all ProfUIS stuff manually? Any samples?

Prof-UIS Application Wizard for Visual Studio 2005 allows you to generate the same MFC application types as the MFC Application Wizard does. Please let us know what you mean exactly? Can you see the Prof-UIS Application Wizard available in the list of available wizards in your Visual Studio 2005?

MFC has three project types: single, multi and dialog. My application is dialog-based, it just kind of vessel with toolbar and menu to launch other dialoges. Tabbed toolbar is the best fit for me.

We believe there is no principal differences between the frame window and the dialog window. You can create a frame window with a tabbed toolbar and a dialog window as the main view window inside the frame. The dialog can be either a CExtResizableDialog like in the LanguageSwitcher sample or a form view like in the PageContainer or FunnyBars samples.
