Why don't you use Tab control (or property sheet with property pages9 if you do need its features? :confused:

Thanks
Actually i am using LIBUIDK for skins. this has all control but not tab control.
i have requirement of Tab control.

For every child dialog, create resource with Border=None. Create every child dialog instance as modeless dialog with pointer to the main dialog: Create(dialog_id, pMainDlg).
Initially show first child dialog using ShowWindow(SW_SHOW), and move it to required position using MoveWindow(&rect). rect is required child position in the main dialog coordinates.
When another dialog should be activated, hide active child using ShowWindow(SW_HIDE), and activate new dialog using ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) and MoveWindow(&rect).
For every child dialog, override OnCancel and OnOK with empty functions. This prevents closing child dialog when user presses OK and Esc.

thanks sir
plz can you give me sample demo or some code.
because i have no more idea about it.

One of my application works by this way, but it is too complicated to show it here. Just implement it exactly as I wrote. The idea is to create modeless dialog, which is shown in particular place of the parent dialog. This can be done using CDialog::Create, ShowWindow and MoveWindow functions. Once this is working, you can switch between different child dialogs, hiding active dialog and showing new one.

Take a look at attached sample (VS2005).
