SYMPTOMS

Calling the CPropertySheet::EnableStackedTabs function from the OnCreate message of a CPropertySheet implementation does not change the tab control to the multi-row style as indicated by the online documentation.

CAUSE

The following are causes:

CDialog windows do not receive WM_CREATE (OnCreate) messages.
A bug in Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) prevents the new property sheet dialog box from adopting the TCS_MULTILINE style after this member has been called.

RESOLUTION

Implement code similar to the following in the property sheet's OnInitDialog method to manually change the style of the tab control that is used for the property sheet:

CWnd* pTabControl = GetDlgItem( AFX_IDC_TAB_CONTROL ); 	
pTabControl->ModifyStyle(TCS_MULTILINE,TCS_MULTILINE);

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
