Drawind themed CTabCtrl

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I created CTabCtrl and want to show a child dialogs as tab panes. Unfortunately a few skins draw a gradient over tab panes and that gradient is covered by controls on tab panes. I tried to implement my own backround drawing in OnCtlColor() but with no success - there are always some controls ( group box etc ) left which are still drawn incorrectly. Could you help me ? Do you know a solution or could you point me to some sample code  ?

Thanks in advance,
Kamil

	Hi, Only one easy solution to resolve it - use CPropertySheet for parent.

	Do you think it would be easy ? I try to avoid this if it is possible - CPropertySheet doesn't work best when used as child window especially in nonstandard scenarios for example I want to create tab pages embedding compound controls, which are build as child dialogs, and still draw the correct background.
