MFC CTabCtrl problems in VS2010
-
I'm having some problems with my rather old codebase in VS2010 again. I have a MDI program where the child windows have a tabbed layout; This worked nicely up to VS2008, but in VS2010 the background of the tab bar is broken, see here. Any idea what could be causing this? Note that the tab bar looks perfectly OK when using the Win2k theme in Win7, it only looks like this with Aero enabled. Somehow I think it could be related to the fact that the child windows are using a splitter pane with a top and a bottom pane, but the upper pane appears to be a CDialog - I have been told that this should actually not be possible at all, but somehow the previous developer of this app got it to work...

It looks like your tab control is inside an MDI window? If so, then the horizontal scrollbar is likely from the MDI window. With Aero enabled, controls and windows, and window components may have different sizes. You may have hard-coded some of these items. In any case, the reason for the horizontal scroll bar is because the tab control is bigger than it's container (CDialog or MDI window).

The scrollbar that you can see in the screenset becomes visible after minimizing the MDI child window at exactly the same position where previously a "real" scrollbar was.
