Win32 dialog: How to add a window that was dynamically added to a dialog to the tab order?

I have a win32 dialog with a text label, a user box (which is going to be filled a control thats created on the fly) and two pushbuttons. The user box has the focus set to begin with.
Now, in the initdialog, when I create a new control and add it to the userbox rect on the dialog, I actually want the focus to be on the control first and then go to the two buttons on tabbing and then back to the control. I tried using SetWindowPos(hWnd,HWND_TOP,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE); to achieve this. But no help. I tried calling SetFocus() on the new control. The, the focus is set on the control on init, but when tab is pressed it goes on to the buttons and doesn't come back to the control. The focus just shifts between the two pushbuttons.
Any idea how I can add this newly created control to the tab order ?

How to add another Gtk::Box in Gtkmm C++

I want to add another Box to my window in the Gtk example, so that I can put other elements below menu.
Here is the link to example:
12.4.1. Main Menu example
I have searched for it, but found HBox/Vbox, but in the example, there is Box declared, with Gtk::ORIENTATION_VERTICAL
How do I add a simple element like lable or button below the menu?
You already have a Box whose Orientation is set to Vertical and you can easily add other elements like buttons and labels to it.
So add a button below the menubar as following:
Gtk::Widget* pMenubar = m_refUIManager->get_widget("/MenuBar");
if(pMenubar)
m_Box.pack_start(*pMenubar, Gtk::PACK_SHRINK);
Gtk::Button* pButton = new Gtk::Button(Gtk::Stock::OK);
m_Box.pack_start(*pButton, Gtk::PACK_SHRINK);
show_all_children();
P.S: For a better visualization I'd recommend using Glade to see how it should look, what should go where, how packing is done. And then you can easily do the same in your C++ code.

MFC Dialog Combo Box in a List Control

I'm trying to create a dialog window with a List Control (report view) that displays a column of text. I'm trying to add another column that displays a combo box that will hold a list of possible actions for the first column. Is there any easy way to do this in MFC?
You can't do that with something like CListCtrl (or not without a lot of owner drawn code). Instead have a look at a 3rd party control like CGridListCtrlEx which will do all the heavy lifting for you.

MFC tooltip for list control of dialog box

I have developed on application, which shows a dialog box with two list controls.
In this list control, I am showing images. Now I want is, when we move the mouse on images from the list control of dialog box, It will show tool tip for that.
How can I show tool tips for images in a list control in a dialog box?
The CToolTipCtrl control is the MFC wrapper class around the Win32 "tool tip". You can use this to display a small pop-up window to describe another control or provide additional information in your app.
If you're using a ListBox control, explore one of these sample projects to see how to display tooltips for individual items displayed within that ListBox control:
ListBox With ToolTip Support
List Box With ToolTips
And if you're using a ListView control (CListCtrl in MFC), then you should start by reading the documentation for the GetToolTips function and the corresponding SetToolTips function. You can also check out how this sample ListView control implements tooltips:
