When I use CXTPTabControl inside of another CXTPTabControl in a themed application headers background does not look good. It's not themed. (See attachment). Is there any standard way to avoid this?

To fix this I use CXTPWinThemeWrapper::DrawThemeParentBackground and it works well, but only if I don't use skins. After loading a skin CXTPSkinManagerApiHook::OnHookGetProcAddress cannot find DrawThemeParentBackground. I tested several other methods from UXTHEME.DLL and CXTPSkinManagerApiHook::OnHookGetProcAddress could not find any of them. (Those methods are not hooked in CXTPSkinManagerApiHook::InitializeHookManagement).

Any thoughts on this?

Another question:

CXTPTabControl::InsertItem has this code:

if (nItem == 0)

{

SetCurSel(0);

}

It does not work well if I want to just insert a new tab at 0 position into existing control with another tab selected. Wouldn't it be better to check whether the control is empty or not? I had to override it because of that.

I don�t have 10.3 yet so I don't if any of that was changed.

Thank you,

Sergey

1. Unfortnatelly SkinFramework don't support DrawThemeParentBackground, please try instead use standard WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message:

HBRUSH hBrush = (HBRUSH)GetParent()->SendMessage(WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, (WPARAM)memDC.GetSafeHdc(), (LPARAM)m_hWnd);
if (hBrush)
{
::FillRect(memDC.GetSafeHdc(), rc, hBrush);
}
else
{
memDC.FillSolidRect(rc, GetXtremeColor(COLOR_3DFACE));
}

2. Thanks good idea. We changed it to:

if (nItem == 0 && m_pSelected == NULL)
