I am trying to rebuild my current settings dialog which didn't use a tabctrl to a tabctrl based dialog. I need this because I need to put more settings inside the dialog.

I have the following code. To me it seems ok but it is not working. The contents of the ParentCtrl I want to put inside a tab is not visible! Can anybody help me out in this? My code is as following:

In header file:

TabCtrl mTabCtrl;
ParentCtrl mLibraryTab, mImdbTab;

Dialog constructor:

mLibraryTab
	<< bOk.Ok().SetLabel("OK").LeftPos(10, 50).BottomPos(10, 20)
	<< bCancel.SetLabel("Cancel").LeftPos(65, 50).BottomPos(10, 20)
	<< mDirectories.SetLabel("Library Directories").LeftPos(10, 300).TopPos(5, 110)
	<< mLibraryGeneral.SetLabel("Library General").LeftPos(10, 300).TopPos(120, 40)
	<< bBrowse.SetImage(MovieManagerIml::AddButton()).LeftPos(265, 40).TopPos(25, 40)
	<< bRemove.SetImage(MovieManagerIml::DeleteButton()).LeftPos(265, 40).TopPos(70, 40)
	<< mDirectoryList.LeftPos(20, 240).TopPos(25, 85)
	<< mForceResync.SetLabel("Synchronise when settings have changed.").LeftPos(20, 240).TopPos(135, 20)
;
	
mTabCtrl.Add(mLibraryTab, "Library");
Add(mTabCtrl.SizePos());

Before I had "*this" with the left shift to add controls. This worked with no problem. I also tried to just add the controls by using mLibraryTab.Add(<controls>) but that does not work either. Why are my controls not visible on the form?
