My application is like... I need to get a vertical scroll bar when the size of the dialog increases.this should not increase the size of tab control is there any way of doing that

is your dialog size increasing dynamically?

ok..I will suggest your a mehtod to this in dialog itself. Specify the WS_VSROLL style fo the dislog that you added to tab Create another dialog as the child of the dialog that you add to tab control. you should put all the control in the second dialog. So when use clicks on the scroll button, just move the innner dialog up or down specify the WS_VSROLL style if you want to scroll dialog horizontally use Setscrollinfo funtion in the begining to set the scroll bar sizes

Just change the form view to CDialog add to the Tab control. If you too want scroll, just try the method I suggested in the previous post.

thanks for the suggestion.... I have a doubt ..which dialog will be shown to the user initially --the dialog having the scroll bar or the child dialog having all the controls. If it is the dialog having the vertical scroll bar then the controls will not be shown to the user until the sroll bar is clicked

you can set which tab should be the default dialog like setDefaultPage(0); if that is there in ur code

both dialog :) assume --outer dialog is the dialog having the the scroll bar style --innner dialog have the controls You can create the innner dialog from the OnInitdialog function of the outer dialog. Also you must set the SetScrollinfo of the outerdialog from this funtion it self. you must process the WM_HSCROLL and WM_VSCROLL messages and move the inner dialog from this functions.

i have not added a form view in a tab pane but i believe you can add it in the same manner as you add dialog like m_oPhoneBook.Create(IDD_PhoneBook); just creat a private variable of the form view and in place of the dialog id put the form view id
