On the Origin of CTabCtrlEx used in Tabbed Dialogs

federico strati

Hello, this is a bit of a strange question: I have a CTabCtrlEx class that was passed to me for doing tabbed dialog forms: in substance it is a class that allows dialogs to be inscribed inside a tabbed control. It is probably a well known class but I cannot find the origin of it (maybe Jeff Prosise's, but I don't know for certain). Hence the question is, do you know any reference to this class in the literature ? I attach here the class itself ---- header ----

What information are you after? You have the full source, so in one sense it is fully documented. Are you concerned about using copyrighted code?
