SUMMARY
=======

By default, a modeless CPropertySheet doesn't have any buttons. To add buttons,
derive a class from CPropertySheet and override OnInitDialog(). In
OnInitDialog(), you'll have to resize the CPropertySheet and add your buttons.
You can also add additional buttons to a modal CPropertySheet using this method.

Sample Code
-----------

  // This code shows how to resize a modeless CPropertySheet to add a button.
  // CMySheet is derived from CPropertySheet

  BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMySheet, CPropertySheet)
            //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMySheet)
            //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
            ON_COMMAND(IDC_MYBUTTON, OnMyButton)
  END_MESSAGE_MAP()

  BOOL CMySheet::OnInitDialog()
  {
            CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog();

            RECT rc;
            GetWindowRect (&rc);
            // Increase the height of the CPropertySheet by 30
            rc.bottom += 30;
            // Resize the CPropertySheet
            MoveWindow (rc.left, rc.top, rc.right-rc.left, rc.bottom-rc.top);
            // Convert to client coordinates
            ScreenToClient (&rc);
            // m_Button is of type CButton and is a member of CMySheet
            m_Button.Create ("&MyButton", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,
                                CRect (5, rc.bottom-30, 80, rc.bottom-5),
                                this, IDC_MYBUTTON);

            return TRUE;
  }

  // Handler for button click of IDC_MYBUTTON
  void CMySheet::OnMyButton ()
  {
            AfxMessageBox ("MyButton was clicked!");
  }
