CEdit in CDockablePane won't scroll

Question

Im using W7, VS2010: create an MDI app with the visual studio look so it has a COutputWnd inherited from CDockablePane at the bottom. Copying the default I've made a new tab, but inherited from CEdit. The tabs inherited from CListBox work great with the following styles:

const DWORD dwStyle = LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL;

But the CEdit with the following does not scroll vertically:

const DWORD dwStyle2 = WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_VSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE | ES_AUTOVSCROLL;// | ES_READONLY;

I've tried all combinations of the above styles and read tons of websites, but nothing works :(

Oh - and I do have ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ta-da! Got it sorted. In COutputWnd::OnCreate I had used this as the parent window:

m_wndVehicle->Create(dwStyle2, rectDummy, this, 3);

It should have been &m_wndTabs:

m_wndVehicle->Create(dwStyle2, rectDummy, &m_wndTabs, 3);

Works a treat now!

Hope it saves someone else 2 hours!
