The tab strip in my application vanishes if the application is left unused for some time. I find no way of retrieving it. Its just gone... vanished..
What should be done?


Thnx

Ya .. we can go ahead with a desktop sharing session. A mail would be sent to you from my ID today.

Actually I find the tabstrip hidden once i minimize my application. So this seems to be a repaint issue.
How to handle that?

Unfortunately we cannot say what what may be wrong in your application without seeing the source code. There are several ways we can help you. You can create a test project and send it to us. You can modify one of our samples so that the problem can be demonstrated with it. Finally, we can help you debug the problem remotely if your connection is fast enough.

There is not enough information to find out what could be the problem. Have you tried what Support suggested, have you used SPY++ to see what messages the tab receives around the time it disappears?

I know you think that desktop sharing is time consuming, but it is really much-much more time consuming this way, as the information you share is not really helpful in solving the problem. You should reconsider Support’s offer about desktop sharing.

The CExtTabWnd class is used to create a tab strip. This tab strip object has been used to create tabs and they are working fine.But if ileave my applicatioon open for say 30-45 mins the tab strip gets vanished altogather and doesnot come back on click,dblclick or mouse over.

The tabstrip is gone totally.

Can u give som pointers?

We have never encountered this problem in our samples nor anybody reported such a problem earlier. We suspect you may have some code in your application that causes this problem. What we can suggest is to watch for all the messages for the tab window using the SPY++ utility. We wonder which messages are displayed in SPY++ after this 45 minutes delay?

We are sorry but there is not enough information in your message to come to any conclusion about what is wrong. If the tab window disappears, that can be caused by that it gets hidden by some code or some other window can be moved over the tab window. Could you reproduce this problem using our samples? Is it possible to get some project from you that reproduces this problem?
