change color of tabs

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

   Hi all,

How do I change the colors of my tabs as I create them? This is how I create them:

CMDIChildWnd* pNextChild = pMainFrame->CreateNewChild( RUNTIME_CLASS(CChildFrame), IDR_MAINFRAME, NULL, NULL);

This will create a new tab in the workspace. How do I then change the color of that tab ?

Thx.

	You can catch ON_MESSAGE(WM_XTP_GETTABCOLOR, OnGetTabColor) on you CChildFrame and send color: ON_MESSAGE(WM_XTP_GETTABCOLOR, OnGetTabColor) LRESULT CMDIChildWndEx::OnGetTabColor(WPARAM, LPARAM) { // Can return any one of the XTPTabOneNoteColor RGB color values or any // valid COLORREF value for example: // // return CXTPTabPaintManager::GetOneNoteColor(xtpTabColorOrange); return m_nColor; }
