Windows API: TAB handle & child window?

Hi Ville,

I'm doing this by creating a dummy Clarion control (a region). Then I create
the window using CreateWindowEx and assign the new window handle to the
region:

?Region1{PROP:HANDLE} = CreateWindowEx(...)

The parent window for the newly created control should be
Window{PROP:CLIENTHANDLE}. Works fine for me (not only for tabs, but also
for groups) in my products like SysTree, SysDTP, ...

Regards,
Jens
