Both controls
  • The original Tab Pro version 2.0 message identifier numbers overlapped other FarPoint product message numbers. If your project is in MSVC 1.5.2 or 32-bit MSVC and used message identifier numbers rather than message defines, you must update the message numbers using the new numbers listed in the header file TABDLL.H, or using the defines listed in the same file. To avoid updating identifiers in future updates, use the message defines rather than the message identifier numbers when creating your projects.
  • If you have created projects using the message defines, you need not update your project.
