Hi,
this works: I just cut and paste, so you must rewrite it a little bit...

Bye STeN

iTabScreen = new (ELeave) CQikTabScreen;

// Create constant literal descriptors - later
// get it to resource file to faciliate the process of localization

Hi stenlik,
I have tried to create a multipage dialog. But my pages are coming in the main windoiw, the one which comes when u open ur application because i wrote my code there. But when i am writing it as a function to be invoked when a menu option is selected i am getting error at the statement
iAppView->iTabScreen->SetContainerWindowL(*this);
iAppView is a AppView pointer declared in UI class.
What should i do if i want the pages to apper when a menu option is selected.
the code is complinig if i keep
iAppView->iTabScreen->SetContainerWindowL(*iAppView);
But givivng runtime error
Also in ur code i didnt understand whtat type  ur iContainerSettings  is.

Is it necessary that we should add a rectangle container before we add any controls? because i am adding a radiobutton control when i am displaying the pages in my main view, they are not visible.
Please answer my queries at ur earliest

I have the following question, I have a multipage dialog... is it possible to obtain the tab control of this dialog?  I need the dialog to startup but I need to programatically control which tab gets activated when it starts.
