Hello,

the background behind the tab-headers in my CXTPTabCtrl remains grey whatever I try. My last check was

auto* pPaintManager = m_pTabCtrl.GetPaintManager(); // exact name may vary by control typeif (pPaintManager != nullptr)
{
   auto* pColorSet = pPaintManager->GetColorSet();
   if (pColorSet != nullptr)
   {
          pColorSet->m_clrHeaderFace.clrLight.SetStandardValue(RGB(255, 255, 255));
          pColorSet->m_clrHeaderFace.clrDark.SetStandardValue(RGB(255, 255, 255));
          pColorSet->RefreshMetrics();
   }
}

The code was stepped through in the debugging, but the area remained grey.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Best, Kai
