CTabCtrl initiating Dialog problem

[tajepe]

This is what I used to derive from the CTabCtrl class:

IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE(CDialogTabs, CDialog)

CDialogTabs::CDialogTabs(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
	: CDialog(CDialogTabs::IDD)
{
	m_DialogID[0] = IDD_EDIT_TISSUE;
	m_DialogID[1] = IDD_EDITCVECTOR;
	m_DialogID[2] = IDD_EDITCELLTYPE;
}

void CDialogTabs::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
	CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
	DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_TAB1, tab1);
}

BOOL CDialogTabs::OnInitDialog( )
{
	CimDBManagerDoc *pDoc = (CimDBManagerDoc *) theApp.m_pDoc;
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();

	TC_ITEM TabCtrlItem;
	CRect WindowRect;
	TabCtrlItem.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
	TabCtrlItem.pszText = _T("Edit Cell Type");
	if(tab1.InsertItem(0,&TabCtrlItem)==-1)
		MessageBox(_T("InsertItem 1 failed"));
	TabCtrlItem.pszText = _T("Edit Construct Vector");
	if(tab1.InsertItem(0,&TabCtrlItem)==-1)
		MessageBox(_T("InsertItem 2 failed"));
	TabCtrlItem.pszText = _T("Edit Tissue");
	if(tab1.InsertItem(0,&TabCtrlItem)==-1)
		MessageBox(_T("InsertItem 3 failed"));

	//Determine the size of the area for the contents
	tab1.GetClientRect(&m_ClientRect);
	tab1.AdjustRect(FALSE, &m_ClientRect);

	//Determine the offset within the view's client area
	tab1.GetWindowRect(&WindowRect);
	GetParent()->ScreenToClient(WindowRect);
	m_ClientRect.OffsetRect(WindowRect.left-15, WindowRect.top-40);

	//Complete the initialization
	tab1.SetCurSel(0);
	CreateContents();

	return TRUE;
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDialogTabs, CDialog)
	ON_NOTIFY(TCN_SELCHANGE, IDC_TAB1, &CDialogTabs::OnSelchangeTab)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CDialogTabs::CreateContents()
{
	int	CurSel = tab1.GetCurSel();
	if(m_Dialog.m_hWnd)
		m_Dialog.DestroyWindow();
	if(!m_Dialog.Create(m_DialogID[CurSel], &tab1))
		TRACE0("Dialog not created\n");
	m_Dialog.MoveWindow(m_ClientRect);
	m_Dialog.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
	GetParent()->RedrawWindow();
}

void CDialogTabs::OnSelchangeTab(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
	CreateContents();
}

And one of the dialogs I inserted into the tab1 is:

// CEditTissue dialog

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CEditTissue, CDialog)

CEditTissue::CEditTissue(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/)
	: CDialog(CEditTissue::IDD, pParent)
	, m_tThickness(_T(""))
{
}

void CEditTissue::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
	CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
	...
	DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_TISSUEPATIENT, m_tPatient1);
	...
}

BOOL CEditTissue::OnInitDialog()
{
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();
	GetPatientList();
	return TRUE;
}

...

// CEditTissue message handlers
void CEditTissue::GetPatientList()
{
	if (!m_dbPatient.IsOpen())
		m_dbPatient.Open();
	m_dbPatient.m_strFilter = _T("");
	m_dbPatient.Requery();

	while(m_dbPatient.IsOpen()&&!m_dbPatient.IsEOF())
	{
		m_tPatient1.AddString(m_dbPatient.m_Name);
		m_dbPatient.MoveNext();
	}

	m_dbPatient.Close();
}

(m_dbPatient here is a CRecordSet)

The tabs seems fine. When I clicked on them, the window will toggle through the 3 dialogs.

But if I put a breakpoint on BOOL CEditTissue::OnInitDialog();
The application never go to this initialization. So the
GetPatientList(); never gets to run.
in EditTissue.h I have:

 protected:
	virtual BOOL OnInitDialog( );

My guess is the m_Dialog.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) only display the CEditTissue Dialog, but not like DoModel() will actually run the class.

Could anybody give me a hint of how to solve this?


Thanks,
