You could use the CTabCtrl class[^]. Alternatively you could have different child windows that you display in the mainframe on top of each other.

Thanks for the reply. I do not want a tabbed dialog. Also, I want the top and bottom area of the dialog to be fixed. Only middle contents are changed. You can get an idea about what I want by observing an antivirus' page switch on button click.

This is about a wizard. In my case, I do not want any next, cancel etc buttons to navigate, but by using an icon button.

Then you will have to write some extra code to do it. I have shown you some possibilities; if they don't exactly fit your requirements then modify them, or learn from them. That's what being a develioper is about, not just copy and paste from the internet.

hi,
What you want to do can be done by redrawing the middle portion of the mainframe dynamically (i.e. at runtime).
I am just elaborating what Richard says in second part of his answer.
Make a mainframe.This mainframe will be a container which will hold your child windows.
And make 4 child windows top, bottom, middle1 and middle2 .
The child windows middle1 and middle2 will be dynamically created at run time based on some condition (for example initially middle1 was being displayed but when user inputs 'Next' in the bottom window, middle1 is destroyed and middle2 is drawn in its place) while top and bottom window can remain fixed at their positions.
Now you you need to know how to create the child windows dynamically.you can google for it .
You can start by having a look at this code project article[^]
