As I thought, CMyTabDlg was a class name, not variable name, so that, it is illegal to appear as a function argument.

//CMyTab //MyTab.h CDialog *m_tabPages[2]; //MyTab.cpp m_tabPages[0]->Create(CMyTabDlg,this); My demo is MDI application. i have a class.This is CMyTabCtrl, i found codeproject web site. this demo is dialog base application. i run this demo is ok. and i making mdi application. and use this class. but i don't know.what parameter place in "CWnd* pParentWnd". >>>>>m_tabPages[0]->Create(CMyTabDlg,this); >>>>>function argument(CDialog::Create) BOOL Create( LPCTSTR lpszTemplateName, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL );

BOOL Create( LPCTSTR lpszTemplateName, CWnd* pParentWnd = NULL ); In this case, the first argument typed string?
