Windows API: Enumerating Clarion Tab Windows

it looks like x-spy that comes with visual c.
the key info is that the window you want is a child of the client area. To
get the hwnd, enumchildwindows() and for each window found call
getclassname() untill you find cla$tab or what ever it is you want. Once
you have the hwnd, call getwindowtext() to read the text. you can also call
getwindowlong() to read the style and find the first tab - the one with the
ws_group style. Once you have that you can read the others in order with
getnextdlggroupitem() or soon as you find one tab in the enumeration use
that api to with the direction flag set to true to move thru the tabs to the
first tab then reverse teh direction flag and go to the last to get all of
them.
I've always found the clarion properties and event relating to tabs to be
adequate for anything I wanted so I'm curious what your trying to do? May
be a little drawicon()?
