Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2001-10-11 14:20:06 EDT 
Could you change CTabFolder and TabFolder to not auto select the first tab
	that is created? By doing so, it will reduce so draw flash in CTabFolder. Eclipse
	UI already determine which tab should be selected anyway.

	PS Sorry for changing our minds again ;-)

NOTES:

SN (4/19/01 10:35:48 AM)
	For now, we will take out the initial selection for CTabFolder but not all platforms
	support this natively.  We would like to keep the initial selection and fix your code
	for the next release to avoid the flash.

		Agree with SN. The first tab should be "selected". Question: Can we just avoid
		doing the callback? Note: This would require changes in the application code,
		so it may be too late to fix this.

Currently, the behaviour is that when an item is created (including the first 
item) it does not get selected.  However, when the CTabFolder gets focus, if no 
item has been selected, the first item is selected.

TabFolder selects the first item created.

Do we need to do anything with this bug report any more?
Comment 3 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-04-17 10:17:39 EDT 
Did you just add this new behavior or has that been in there since release 1.0? 
If since 1.0, then yes you can close this PR. If new code, then we'll need to 
try it out.

I cannot remember now what the scenario was that was causing this flash. Maybe 
at creation time when we add a bunch of tab and then select the one we know 
should be selected.

There is no auto select as per the request of the UI team.
