Is this possible? I will have 2 (or more) resizable dialogs based on dialog resource templates that I want to put into a dockable tab container.

I have looked at the Tabbedbars example and have tried to duplicate exactly what is being done there, but no matter what I do, my dialogs come up in a non-tabbed state.

Hi,
i have got a solution for a problem like yours. The solution insert resizable dialogs into tab containers in splitt views. Maybe i will help you to solve your problem.

This is the mainfrm.h:
