Hi, I have created a tab control in MFC(VC++). While user is doing something in a tab, then I should restrict the user to change to another till the work started in a tab has been completed. Eg: In Tab A on some button click a thread will be launched, at that point of time user should not be able to move to another tab from Tab A. I tried it. But I couldn't make it up. Help me out.
I think you can set a global flag which indicates work on current tab. When User Click on the other tab and flag is on. Do not let that particular MSG be passed for processing. WindowProc is the function where you could block that message. You Could use Spy++ to figure out the window message. I think it should be pretty simple after that.
