For a tab control that covers only part of a dialog forget about
CPropertySheet and CPropertyPage. They don't do that.

Use CTabCtrl and put a tab control on your dialog template. The usual
approach is to then create a modeless dialog for each tab page, with the
dialogs' titlebar style turned off. You create all the dialogs (and you have
to position them on the tab control initially) and you make one at a time
visible as the tabs are clicked. Maybe Joe's class helps with this.
