Making the tab item look disabled in CTabCtrl VC6

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

   Hi all,

We have a class derived from TabCtrl (VC 6.0). We have programmatically disabled some of the tabs in this tab  control. The mask of the tab item is set to Image and we load the image from the image list depending on the tab being disabled or enabled.
We have applied skin using Codejock on this tab control. The image that is loaded from the tab control image list does not look good.Hence we were thinking of setting the mask for the tab item as text. However this does not make the disabled tab look disabled.
Is there any way where I can give the disabled look to the disabled tab?

We were thinking of disabling the hot tracking dynamically for the tab item which is to be shown disabled or something similar to that. 
Any suggestions or guidance in this regard would be helpful.

With best regards
