Creating a class derived from CTabCtrl

I am following a tutorial to use CTabCtrl. The tutorial is asking me to create a class that is derived from CTabCtrl. I am unsure if I am doing this correctly. This is the header for my custom class. 

#pragma once


// CTabbyControl

class CTabbyControl : public CTabCtrl
{
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CTabbyControl)

public:
CTabbyControl();
virtual ~CTabbyControl();

protected:
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and am following this tutorial. My problem is that the tutorial asks me to create a CTabbyControl variable in the class wizard. I only have the option to use CTabCtrl. This brings me to think that I am deriving incorrectly. I have never derived a class. Is the way I am doing it a correct method of deriving?

Solution

  • Please check whether you have included the Header file (TabbyControl.h) in the class you try to create the object of TabbyControl.
