Example

The following example demonstrates how to initialize a CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl object and use various methods in the CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl class. The example shows how to enable the in-place editing of the text label on the tab page buttons of the Outlook bar, enable the animation, enable scroll handles that enable the user to scroll through buttons on the Outlook bar pane, set the border size of the Outlook tab control, and set the alignment of the text labels on the tab buttons of the Outlook bar. This code snippet is part of the Outlook Demo sample.

   // CMFCOutlookBar& bar
    CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl* pOutlookBar = (CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl*)bar.GetUnderlyingWindow();

   pOutlookBar->EnableInPlaceEdit(TRUE);
    pOutlookBar->EnableAnimation();
    pOutlookBar->EnableScrollButtons();
    pOutlookBar->SetBorderSize(10);
    pOutlookBar->SetPageButtonTextAlign(TA_LEFT);

CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl::AddControl

Adds a Windows control as a new tab in the Outlook bar.

void AddControl(
    CWnd* pWndCtrl,  
    LPCTSTR lpszName,  
    int nImageID=-1,  
    BOOL bDetachable=TRUE,  
    DWORD dwControlBarStyle=AFX_CBRS_FLOAT |  AFX_CBRS_CLOSE | AFX_CBRS_RESIZE |  CBRS_AFX_AUTOHIDE);

Parameters

[in] pWndCtrl
A pointer to a control to add.

[in] lpszName
Specifies the name of tab.

[in] bDetachable
If TRUE, the page will be created as detachable.

[in] nImageID
Image index in the internal image list for the image to be displayed in the new tab.

[in] dwControlBarStyle
Specifies the AFX_ CBRS_* style for wrapped docking panes.

Remarks

Use this function to add a control as a new page of an outlook bar.

This function internally calls on CMFCBaseTabCtrl::AddTab.

If you set bDetachable to TRUE, AddControl internally creates a CDockablePaneAdapter object and wraps the added control. It automatically sets the runtime class of the tabbed window to the runtime class of CMFCOutlookBar and the runtime class of the floating frame to CMultiPaneFrameWnd.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use the AddControl method in the CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl class. This code snippet is part of the Outlook Demo sample.

  // CMFCOutlookBarTabCtrl* pOutlookBar
    // DWORD dwStyle = AFX_CBRS_FLOAT | AFX_CBRS_AUTOHIDE | AFX_CBRS_RESIZE
    // CMFCOutlookBarPane pane1
    // The third parameter is the image index.
    pOutlookBar->AddControl(&pane1, _T("General"), 0, TRUE, dwStyle);
