Hi Guys,

I've an application in which MainWndDlg.cpp contains tabctrl.
Each tab is child of main window (tabbed dialog box) and I have a class for each tab (tabonedlg.cpp,tabtwodlg.cpp).

In the tabs, I've created some controls like edit, check box, etc.

In the main window spinctrl btn is present.

Now the problem is when I clicked or change the spinctrl button in main wnd, I need to change ctrl's data present in tabctrl to be changed.

Is it possible? If yes, how?
(pls give me suggestions)

I don't have idea about CWnd funcs, please could you suggest any articles to get info about it.

Hey Thanks guys for u help... I found the solution to the problem by using SetDlgItemText

Hi,If you have created the tabbed dialog using the MFC property sheet class, then the main diloag class(The CPropertySheet derived class) will have the objects of each tab class(CPropertyPage derived class).These objects will have data members for the controls that are on the tabs(child dialogs). So using these objects inside the parent daialog class the data of the tab's controls can be accessed .
