Top level MDI window implementation. | |
Dialog Box window parent of a tab frame. This class allows editing of the properties of child windows identifying their associated tab. | |
Form window with a tab frame. In addition to containing a built in tab frame. This class also has the smarts to manage other child windows on the form so that they can be associated with specific tabs. | |
Defines late bound functions in QuickTabs parent Form or Dialog Box that will be called when an event occurs in the tab control. | |
Specializes the generic SalQuickTabsParent class into a dialog box implementation. This class should be used when the ported code extends cQuickTabsParent directly. Using this class avoids the creation of multiple inheritance constructs. | |
