Check this MSDN article[^] Note this: While it is normal to derive your own dialog classes from CDialog, you do not typically derive your own class for a dialog bar. Dialog bars are extensions to a main window and any dialog-bar control-notification messages, such as BN_CLICKED or EN_CHANGE, will be sent to the parent of the dialog bar — the main window. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

That's the thing. That one bit me a time or two. You're welcome.

That worked perfectly!!!! Thanks Pete.. I didn't even know that container existed, .. which will help a quite a few more problems I've been facing. Thanks Again :)

These articles might help some: http://www.codeproject.com/docking/pinnabledock.asp#xxxx[^] http://www.codeproject.com/docking/sizecbar.asp[^] http://www.codeproject.com/docking/sizing_tabctl.asp[^] If you are determined to use the CDialogBar class, there used to be (and still should be in their dockable windows section I think) an article on codeguru.com which dealt with intializing controls in a CDialogBar object. I can't access their site at the moment though... :~ Good luck in your efforts! :) Happy Programming and God Bless! Internet::WWW::CodeProject::bneacetp
