SNAPVW: Using Property Pages in a Form View Application

Click to open or copy the SNAPVW project files.

The SNAPVW sample demonstrates how to use property pages in a form view. The frame of the MDI child window is used in place of a property sheet that might otherwise contain the OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons.

Running the Sample

When you run SNAPVW, a set of property pages is displayed within the MDI child frame. CSnapView::OnSize overrides the CFormView base class implementation and calculates the size of the frame window so that it "snaps" to the size of the property pages. CSnapView::Create sets up the window, adds the property pages, and sets the appropriate styles. The Minimize and Maximize buttons have been removed from the child frame window so that the frame remains closely aligned with the edges of the property pages. You can navigate between the pages by clicking on the individual pages and choosing the menu items, or by using the mnemonics and arrow keys.
