Changing the Tab Label

Posted by Zafir Anjum on August 6th, 1998
The labels used by the tab control inside the property sheet is taken from the captions of the property pages. To change this label at runtime, we have to first get a pointer to the tab control object and call its SetItem() function. The following code changes the label of the first tab. 
	CString sCaption = _T("New Caption");
	TC_ITEM tcItem;
	tcItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
	tcItem.pszText = (LPTSTR)((LPCTSTR)sCaption);
	GetTabControl()->SetItem(0, &tcItem );

    To change each page's label, I overrided OnInitDialog in CMyPropertySheet.


    BOOL CMyPropertySheet::OnInitDialog() 

    {

    	BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog();

    	

    	TC_ITEM tcItem; 

    	tcItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT; 

    	tcItem.cchTextMax = _MAX_PATH; 

    	tcItem.pszText = _T("label");


    	for( int i = 0; i < GetPageCount(); i++ )

    		(CTabCtrl*)(GetTabControl())->SetItem( i, &tcItem );

    	

    	return bResult;

    }


    But, the only first page's label did not change. 

    What I did miss or mistake?


    Please, leave some comment about my problem.

    Thank you in advance.
