If you're going to do a lot of that kind of stuff and you need real time
notification in the parent you could easily set up some user messages and
just send a message to the parent window for special things you want it to
check or store or vice versa since the child knows the parent (GetParent())
and the parent knows the child since it embedded it.

HI Tom,

Since the second property sheet is a child of the first you have the
ability
from the first to call routines in it. I would just set up an
assign/refresh routine that you can call from the top level propertysheet
that fills it's own pages as needed and then, the page that has the other
propertysheet on it can do the same to the subsequent (embedded) sheets.

You can either assign the controls directly or have variables for them
(I.E., CStrings, ints, etc.) and then call UpdateData() to update the
controls as needed (this is especially true if you are only displaying
the
information).

You shoudn't ever have to call DoDataExchage() directly and each
DoDataExchange() should only have control and variable calls for the
property page where it resides.

I could have to disable/enable controls and manage validations, so I
thought to maintain XML in the main Dialog which contains the top-
level PropertySheet and pass/get values from child sheets so I could
also validate if I have to disable some controls depending of a
certain value or not, plus for example if I activate a check-box in a
child page I should disable another control in another page...

so any idea?...

Thanks
Ciao
