Up to 150 views.
You don't need to modify your views,just use this MDI frame with tab support.
Each group can Hold up to 15 views.
You Can Select (Replace) a View using Tabcontrol o a command
To Configure a group your of tabs:
Fill in this struct
struct SELECTOR_VIEWS
{
int m_nViews; // number of tab for this group
char** m_prompt; // text of each tab
CRuntimeClass** m_listview ; // views associate with each tab
char* m_NomeGruppo; // group name
};
To Configure your CTabFrm:
Fill in this struct
struct GROUP_SELECTOR_LIST
{
int m_nGruppi; // haw many groups I have
int m_nGruppoIniziale; // what is initial group
BOOL m_bTab; // tab control STYLE TCS_TABS (TRUE) or TCS_BUTTONS (FALSE)
BOOL m_bBottom; // tab control STYLE TCS_BOTTOM
SELECTOR_VIEWS* m_ListaGruppi;
};
class CMYFrame : public CTabFrm // build each group// group 1 static char* p1[] = {"ALEX", "BILL", "PAUL", "JAMES", "DADDY" }; static CRuntimeClass* v1[] = {RUNTIME_CLASS(CAlex), RUNTIME_CLASS(CBill), RUNTIME_CLASS(CPaul), RUNTIME_CLASS(CJames), RUNTIME_CLASS(CDaddy) }; // group 2 static char* p2[] = {"PROMPT 1 GROUP2"}; static CRuntimeClass* v2[] = {RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView)}; // group 3 static char* p3[] = {"PROMPT VIEW 1 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 2 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 3 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 4 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 5 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 6 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 7 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 8 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 9 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 10 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 11 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 12 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 13 GROUP3", "PROMPT VIEW 14 GROUP3" }; static CRuntimeClass* v3[] = {RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView) }; // group 4 static char* p4[] = {"PROMPT VIEW 1 GROUP 4", "PROMPT VIEW 2 GROUP 4", "PROMPT VIEW 3 GROUP 4", "PROMPT VIEW 4 GROUP 4", "PROMPT VIEW 5 GROUP 4" }; static CRuntimeClass* v4[] = {RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView) }; // GROUP OF tabs (NUMERO VIEW, PROMPT ,OGGETTI VIEW) static SELECTOR_VIEWS enumgroup[] = { {5,p1,v1, "FAMILY GROUP"}, // 1 GROUP 5 views {1,p2,v2, "NAME GROUP2"}, // 2 group 1 view {14,p3,v3, "NAME GROUP3"}, // 3 group 14 views {5,p4,v4, "NAME GROUP4"} // 4 group 5 view }; static GROUP_SELECTOR_LIST g1[] = { 4, // number of groups 0, // initial group TRUE, // TABSTYLE = FALSE BUTTON = TRUE FALSE, // BOTTOM POSITION enumgroup // GROUP LIST };
The Class CtabFrm implements 28 commands :
COMMANDS FOR SETTING A GROUP IDM_SELECTOR_G1 (select group 1) IDM_SELECTOR_Gxxx (select group xxx) IDM_SELECTOR_G10 (select group 10) COMMANDS FOR CHANGE VIEW IN THE CURRENT GROUP IDM_REPLACE_VIEW1 (SELECT ITEM 1 IN THE CURRENT GROUP) IDM_REPLACE_VIEWxxx (SELECT ITEM xxx IN THE CURRENT GROUP) IDM_REPLACE_VIEW15 (SELECT ITEM 15 IN THE CURRENT GROUP) COMMANDS FOR CHANGE TABCONTROL STYLE IDM_TAB_BUTTON (TAB STYLE) IDM_ TAB_BUTTON (BUTTON STYLE) IDM_TAB_BOTTOM (MOVE BUTTONS DOWN) After the configuration the look of your application is
Right clicking Tab button you can change style
To use the class you have two choices:
A) method 1
derive your class
// Overrides the method virtual void OnGetGroups(GROUP_SELECTOR_LIST** gruppo); void CMYFrame:: OnGetGroups(GROUP_SELECTOR_LIST** gruppo) { *gruppo = g1; } if (you want to reserve pixel il the left side of your frame or in the down site of your frame) // Overrides the method virtual void OnReserved(int& dx,int& dy); void CMYFrame:: OnReserved(int& dx,int& dy { x = 160; //reserve 160 pixel in the left side of my frame }
B) method 2
Use the configurable class CTabFrame which allows you to use it directly ,just put this code in your application methos InitInstance() :
CMultiDocTemplate* pDocTemplate; pDocTemplate = new CMultiDocTemplate( IDR_TABPROTYPE, RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjDoc), RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabFrame), // custom Tab MDI child frame RUNTIME_CLASS(CTabProjView)); //default view AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate); // BEGIN config your CTabFrame CTabFrame::SetSelector(g1); //CTabFrame::SetTabReserved(160,0); // SPACE ON THE LEFT LIKE ACCESS // CTabFrame::SetTabContext(UINT idsel,UINT idnosel) // your custom context menu // END CONFIG
In my example I use the second method
