Changing the Tab Label

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 );
