CRecordView in a CTabCtrl

[Lars]

Hi everybody!

I have to write a program that displays the content of database-tables. There has to be one Tabsheet for each table. Does anybody know a "smart" way of doing that ?
I thought of inserting RecordViews into the TabCtrl but I didn´t manage to get it to work yet.

Thanks in advance

I don't know how 'smart' this is, but one way to do it would be to query each table when the user selects the tab. Then you only have one 'view' of the rows.

There is an old sample on MSDN (I think it's called DAOVIEW) that uses a 'Windows Explorer' UI to view tables and rows in an Access database. It uses DAO of course but all of that could be replaced with ADO or whatever you are using for connectivity. The code shows how to use a CListCtrl in 'Report' view to display the rows of the tables. Of course the tables are selected from the 'Tree' view on the left but it's the same idea.

Hope this helps
