Re: Tab Controls & Property Sheets

Tom,

To support Tab and Property page controls you have to include Common Control library in to your image. However, as you mention the
controls work in your image, you have probably already added the component.
You are likely having problem with system font supported in your image. Try adding MS Sanf Serif (all of them) in to your image and
see if it helps.
Also, on www.xpefiles.com you can find two components that may be interesting to you: Fonts.zip - has all the fonts in it, and
Brad's FontTracker. The last one will help you to track your font related issue of the runtime.

Sheets are not displayed correctly. The dialog box tends to be shortened on both the width and height with the right most and botton
portions clipped. Other than that the tab controls work as expected. The application works normally on XP.

I've checked to make sure the configuration included the Common Controls Librarary. The configuration has the following libraries

Common Control Libraries Version 5 [Version 5.1.2600.1106
Common Control Libraries Version 6 [1.0.0.0] [Version 5.1.2600.1106
Common Control Libraries Version 6 [1.0.10.0] [Version 5.1.2600.1106

Why three libraries I do not know. If I delete any of them the dependency check add it back into to the configuration

I've also checked the fonts. I have MS Sanf Serif in the configuration (as well as other fonts that are used). The MS Sanf Serif is what is used in the property pages in question. The fonts displayed OK the problem appears to be that the size of the main dialog box is not sufficient to display the complete property page. The property page is being clipped on the right and on the bottom. The 3D effect is still there so it looks like XPe calculates the size of the required box incorrectly

Any other ideas that I can try

Tom,

First, make sure you've got ALL the MS Sans Serif fonts in your build:
Fonts: Fonts Microsoft_San_Serif [Version 5.1.2600, R620],
[Visibility=1000]
Fonts: serife_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: seriff_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: sserife_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]
Fonts: sseriff_fon [Version 5.1.2600, R620], [Visibility=1000]


If it does not help, then read more posts here:

You've got a few versions of common ccontrol library becuase some [MS]
applications require partitcular versions. Trun off auto-resolving
dependencies in TD options (I do not recommend it, though).

Thanks. When I included all of the Sans Serif fonts that fixed the problem
