    The code:

    bStatus = GetSplitterObj()->CreateView
    (
    1,
    1,
    RUNTIME_CLASS(CMyTabClass),
    sizeView,
    pContext
    );

    it is only put CMyTabClass view into your splitter window. The creation of the tabs inside this CMyTabClass should be done in CMyTabClass::OnCreate, where AddView(...) calling is mandatory. So, you should add at least one tab in order to see something inside your splitter window :)

    Then how come in sample application, below code itself creating a tab bar (horizontal with arrow buttons) in window?

    if (CTabView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
    return -1;

    The same above piece of code in my application not creating that horizontal tab bar unless i create MFCTabCtl tab; tab.create()....

      First of all, create an CTabbedView derived from CTabView.

      class CTabbedView : public CTabView
      {
      protected: // create from serialization only
      CTabbedView();
      DECLARE_DYNCREATE(CTabbedView)
      ...
      };

      Then, in OnCreate:

      int CTabbedView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
      {
      if (CTabView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
      return -1;

      m\_wndTabs.DestroyWindow();
      if (! m\_wndTabs.Create(CMFCTabCtrl::STYLE\_3D, CRect(0, 0, 0, 0), this, 1, CMFCTabCtrl::LOCATION\_BOTTOM))
      {
      	TRACE(\_T("Failed to create output tab window\\n"));
      	return -1;
      }
      
      m\_wndTabs.SetFlatFrame();
      m\_wndTabs.SetTabBorderSize(0);
      m\_wndTabs.AutoDestroyWindow(TRUE);
      
      AddView(RUNTIME\_CLASS(CYourView1), \_T("Title 1"));
      AddView(RUNTIME\_CLASS(CYourView2), \_T("Title 2"));
      
      return 0;
      

      }

      and in your childframe, where you create the view inside your splitter, you can put this CTabbedView as any CView:

      if(! m\_wndSplitterTab.CreateView(1, 0, RUNTIME\_CLASS(CTabbedView), CSize(0, 0), pContext))
      {
      	m\_wndSplitterTab.DestroyWindow();
      	return FALSE;
      }
      

      Tell me if is not clear.

      In above provided sample code, i have some doubts. When i created a class CTabbedView which is inherited from CTabView, in OnCreate(), the below call it self created a tab control (horizontal splitter) without any tabs.

      if (CTabView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
      return -1;

      Then what is the use of below call?

      if (!m_tab.Create(CMFCTabCtrl::STYLE_3D, CRect(0, 0, 500, 100), this, 1, CMFCTabCtrl::LOCATION_BOTTOM))
      {
      TRACE(_T("Failed to create output tab window\n"));
      return -1;
      }

      What is the exact difference between AddTab and AddView.?

        AddTab call is creating the tab area: "Call this method to add a pane as a new tab on a tabbed pane" CBaseTabbedPane Class[^] and AddView call is creating the view which are hosted by CTabView: "Call this function to add a view to the tab control that is embedded in a frame" CTabView Class[^]

          In my case, i need to create tabs dynamically. Lets say. When my application starts user will input a value between 1 to 10. Based on user input i need to create the tabs (no. of tabs). later in each tab in need to display different images. In this case, should i create my class which is inheriting from CTabView or CTabPane?

            " should i create my class which is inheriting from CTabView or CTabPane?" Definitely from CTabView. And this CMyTabClass, should include at least one tab, with one view.

              If i call AddView(), this itself is creating a tab. Is this not enough? No need to call AddTab() right?

                Yes, AddView() is creating a tab, so, it is enough.

                  Dear member, in order to read easily, please format your code (use "code" button from above edit area). And, yes, m_tab.Create(...) return TRUE, but further more, you do nothing ...

                  If i call AddView() and run my program, it working absolutely fine with a window and a view(tab). But instead of calling AddView() initially, at runtime i based on user input, i called addview() which leads to a crash. What could be the reason.

                  class View : public CScrollView
                  {

                  }

                  //below is my main class
                  class MyTabClass : public CTabView
                  {
                  //this function gets called automatically during creation of window.
                  void OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
                  {
                  if (CTabView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
                  return -1;
                  AddView(RUNTIME_CLASS(View),_T("Sheet1")); //this works fine.
                  }

                  //this function i will call based on user input and hence its crashing during addView call.
                  void RunTimeBasedOnUserInput()
                  {
                  	for(int i = 0 ; i < userinput; i++)
                  	{
                  		AddView(RUNTIME\_CLASS(View),\_T("sheet %d",i));
                  	}
                  
                  }
                  

                  }

                  After investigation, what i found is, During creation of window itself, OnInitUpdate function in class View is getting called each time when AddView() is called. But if i create the views dynamically, then AddView() wont call OnInitUpdate of my View class and hence the crash occurs. Exception as follows: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library --------------------------- Debug Assertion Failed! Program: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\mfc140d.dll File: f:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\mfc\afxtabview.cpp Line: 102 For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts. (Press Retry to debug the application) --------------------------- Abort Retry Ignore --------------------------- Can you let me know how to get rid of this problem?
