When an application has a panel for editing variable data, many use a collapsing / expanding (vertical) panel. An example is 3d studio max. It has many 'rollout' controls and the pane on which the rollouts are embedded can be scrolled.
I need this type of functionality in my application. Right now I am using a dialogbar with an embedded tabcontrol and I hide/show CDialog derived dialogs according to the tabcontrol messages. it works, but i cannot put more data onto the dialog thant the size of the dialog allows. I could probably find a way to scroll a dialog.......... or option 'B', I could find out what others do for this type of thing and do that :0
or I guess 'C' which is to keep the data within the confines of the preset dialog size and use mroe tabs if needed.
anyhow, if someone could point me in the right direction, i can find resources to study, I just dont really know the name of what I am looking for.
