Adding tabs to my tab control

[SteveCRM]

doing this doesn't work.....niether work :(

SendMessage(Tab, TCM_INSERTITEM, 1, (LPARAM) "Test");
SendMessage(Tab, TCM_SETITEM, 1, (LPARAM) "TEST");

what is the correct way to add tabs (my control is called Tab) :confused:

[abdul]

Is "Tab" declared as "HWND" and is it a handle to the tab when you ceate the tab control like

Tab = CreateWindow(...);

[jim mcnamara]

Abdul is saying that the variable tab has to be

HWND tab;

and actually be the handle to the tab control.

if it's not, but rather a #define, you need to call GetDlgItem(parentHWnd, Tab); to get the hwnd.

I've already decalred it......thats not my problem

I have the control on my form...I was able to add some tabs, now how do I put text into the tabs :confused:

[CornedBee]

the LPARAM of both TCM_INSERTITEM and TCM_SETITEM must be a pointer to a TCITEM struct. There is a member to set the item text.
