SYMPTOMS
When CPropertySheet::AddPage() is called and a tab is too wide to fit
in the existing row of tabs, the CPropertySheet will create a new row
with the new tab. This can cause the bottom row of tabs to disappear.
NOTE: This will only occur when calling CPropertySheet::AddPage() after
calling CPropertySheet::Create or CPropertySheet::DoModal().
CAUSE
The CPropertyPage and CPropertySheet are not resized when AddPage() is
called. As a result, the active CPropertyPage could cover a row of tabs and
obscure it from view.
RESOLUTION
You can do either of the following:
- Call CPropertySheet::EnableStackedTabs(FALSE) before the call to
DoModal() or Create(). This will disable stacked tabs. When there isn't
enough space to add a tab and AddPage() is called, a scrollbar will
appear which allows you to scroll to the desired tab.
-or-
- Call AddPage() for all possible pages. This will create a CPropertySheet
with CProppertyPage items whose size will allow for the additional rows
of tabs. If you don't want to display all of the pages initially, derive
a class from CPropertySheet, override CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog(),
and remove unwanted tabs by calling RemovePage().
