Most controls will give programmatic access to the properties, although doing so isn't a requirement. This functionality will be exposed through interfaces on the control, typically the IDispatch interface. If you're using MFC's wizards a dispatch driver will be generated to make calling the methods trivial. Steve

I guess the better question to ask is how to calculate what the coordinates should be. It is nice when you can build it as a resource in the resource editor, but you can't do that with dialogs contained inside a tab control. Is there a better way than 'guess and check'? Thanks, Sean
