Creating Embedded Child Property Sheets

Environment: Windows NT4 SP6, Visual C++ 6 SP3

Having a property sheet inside a property page causes some problems:

The class CChildPropertyPage derived from CPropertyPage solves the above problems. To use a child property sheet you simply use this class instead of CPropertyPage to implement your resource. You add the child pages in the same way as you would add pages to a normal property sheet. See the demo project.

The example project implements the above example. It shows how to use the child property sheet on a full page and limited by a group box. The example is simply created with the following statements:

CPropertySheet dlg("Test");

CChildPropertyPage Page1(IDD_PROPPAGE1);
CChildPropertyPage Page2(IDD_PROPPAGE1,0,0,IDC_GROUP);
CPropertyPage Page11(IDD_PROPPAGE2);
CPropertyPage Page12(IDD_PROPPAGE2);
CPropertyPage Page21(IDD_PROPPAGE3);
CPropertyPage Page22(IDD_PROPPAGE3);

dlg.AddPage(&Page1);
dlg.AddPage(&Page2);
Page1.AddPage(&Page11);
Page1.AddPage(&Page12);
Page2.AddPage(&Page21);
Page2.AddPage(&Page22);

The CChildPropertyPage constructor takes four arguments:
