simple tab control using TCITEM?

Hello,

Can someone please help. I cannot create a simple tab control using tcitem.
I've put the tab control on the dialog box, and used code ( non MFC ) to connect the tab control to dialog boxes using tcitem. I can see the tab control working, but not the dialog boxes inside? Can someone please show me how to do it?

Did you set the child dialogs Z-order to TOPMOST?

[Z-Order is the depth into the screen. So would be bottom; desktop, parent, TAB ctrl, child dialog at the top.

For any more detail I would need to see code.
