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;
}
