Hello Everyone...

I need to add a Tab Control in my Dialog based MFC Application for which I am using MFC Tool Tab Control. For 1st Tab I have created a Child style window dialog on which I have added a Custom control tool and 2 Buttons. Also I have changed the background color. But when I run the application neither the custom tool and buttons are visible nor the background color changed.

Where am I going wrong?

Please help me out.

No... it's not urgent at all. If it were urgent you would have posted the code as you was asked to so someone could see where it was that you went wrong.

Here, CPrintHeadProfile class is associated with the Dialog (Style: Child)
