Foreground and Backgroud color of TabStrip

[Flauzer]

Hi. Is there any expert who has advice on how to change the back color of the TabStrib control (MSCOMCTL.ocx ??) Old question, I know and many link are deads.....

I know I should subclass and use the WM_DRAWITEM ... (at least I think...). I'm quite modest programmer with the good old vb6 ( and vb6 is not my core lang...),
and I'm looking for something like "copy and paste this"...

I need just a light control like the tabstrip, that shows tabs "well" in W10: focus on aesthetics, forecolor and backgroud color, ...little else.

Thanks in advance.

For having the controls themed (also called visual styles) you need to use Window Common Controls 5 (COMCTL32.OCX) instead of Windows Common Controls 6 (MSCOMCTL.OCX).

And of course, add a manifest to the exe for showing the controls themed.

PS: or use Krool's Common Controls.

For those few (like me) who don't know or need help on this issue , I recommend this fantastic clarifying thread.
