Hi, I am developing a SDI application. It contains 2 tabs. 1st tab is again contains 3 panes, which needs to be created using splitter windows. That splitter window is divided into 2 rows.
So my query is how to create a splitter window in a CTabCtrl?

Use the splitter as you always would. The only difference is the parent window is one of the tab
windows.

Try the VIEWEX example (MFC)

Have you looked at the CSplitterWnd class?
You have to deal with all the tab window stuff plus creating a splitter window and its 3 panes as
well. It's a lot of example code to type here Smile | :)

Will you plz guide me? What i have thought is, i will create a simple class derived from CView and use it in sdi template. Then in that CView class, i will use a member which is of type CMyTabCtrl class.
Then plz tell me where and how should i create splitter windows in that CMyTabCtrl? What i thought is, i ll create splitter in Create method of CMyTabCtrl()? is it correct way? Plz guide me.

You're on the right track.

I personally use a CTabCtrl as just a control and handle everything in the control's parent (like
you would a simple control like a button in a dialog.
The parent window class (CView-derived in your case) contains:
1) a CTabCtrl object
2) an array of CWnd pointers for each tab's window.
The parent window (I'll call it CTabCtrlParent handles window resizing and tab control
notifications.
In CTabCtrlParent OnCreate() I create the tab control, create each window for each tab, placing
the (window pointers in the array for easy indexing later) and using CTabCtrl::InsertItem() to
add a tab using the same index as the window pointer array index.
In CTabCtrlParent OnNotify() I handle TCN_SELCHANGE, TCN_SELCHANGING notifications from the tab
control. For TCN_SELCHANGE I hide the current tab window, show the new tab window (using
MoveWindow() or something to size it in the tab control.
In CTabCtrlParent::OnSize() I resize the tab control to fit the client area and resize the current
tab window to fit the tab control's "client" area. This is the most complicated part so here's
an example:

if (pTabControl && (pTabControl->m_hWnd != 0))
{
    CRect CliRect;
    // Track the tab control's "client" area and reposition current tab window
    pTabControl->GetWindowRect(&CliRect);
    ::MapWindowPoints(0, *pTabControl, (LPPOINT)&CliRect, 2);

    // Get the tab control's "client rect", the drawable area of the control.
    CRect TabClientRect = CliRect;
    pTabControl->AdjustRect(false, &TabClientRect);

    ::MapWindowPoints(*pTabControl, *this, (LPPOINT)&TabClientRect, 2);

    // Move/resize the tab window AND the current tab "client" window.  Make
    //    sure "client" window is always drawn on TOP of the tab control.
    int i = pTabControl->GetCurSel();
    if (i >= 0 && TabWindowPointerArray[i] && TabWindowPointerArray[i]->m_hWnd)
    {
        HDWP hDwp;
        if ((hDwp = ::BeginDeferWindowPos(2)) != 0)
        {
            hDwp = ::DeferWindowPos(hDwp,*pTabControl,0,0,0,
                        CliRect.Width(),CliRect.Height(),
                            SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER);
            hDwp = ::DeferWindowPos(hDwp,*TabWindowPointerArray[i], HWND_TOP,
                        TabClientRect.left,TabClientRect.top,
                    TabClientRect.Width(),TabClientRect.Height(), 0);
            ::EndDeferWindowPos(hDwp);
        }
    }
}

This takes care of your tab controll stuff. In the tab windows is where you'll have a splitter
and more windows, one for each splitter pane. Now you see why it's a lot of code to show here as
an example Smile | :)

I doubt it. Whether the OP chooses CreateProcess(), ShellExecute(), or some other mechanism, what's missing is the necessary path information. If no path is specified, Windows will help you out a little by searching: the folder in which the application was loaded from, the current folder, the Windows folder, and those folders listed in the PATH environment variable.

How do you expect to run a file without knowing the path to it? If it's in the PATH variable, then you're in luck, but otherwise...

Sorry, Samira, you are still not clear. What exactly you are trying to do? You can not run an executable using CreateProcess(...) unless you have its complete path available. Its very logical indeed. Isnt it??
