Hi,

I just created a tab control into a dialog
box project but the background of my pages
are not the same as the background of the tab
control... Any ideas on how to make the pages
background transparent ?

If you Dialog's backgroud is single color
you can Fill you Tab Back with the just color,if not you can get parent's
dc and it's rectangle that you Tab on Bitblt Parent the just area to you
Tab's.

The background of the property sheet is darker at the
bottom with XP style.. it's not a solid color.

Nice idea though... I've never tried to change the
background of a dialog box (property page) before,
this will be an occasion to do something new ! In
fact, I've never messed with DC or painting before.

Painting the background is not the solution in this case.

Rather, include the following code in each dialog's OnInitDialog()
method:

// XP theme? Enable the dialog's background
HINSTANCE m_hthemeDllHandle = LoadLibrary( _T("UxTheme.dll") );

if( m_hthemeDllHandle != NULL )
{
EnableThemeDialogTextureFn* pEnableThemeDialogTexture =
reinterpret_cast<EnableThemeDialogTextureFn*>(
GetProcAddress( m_hthemeDllHandle, "EnableThemeDialogTexture" ) );

if( pEnableThemeDialogTexture != NULL )
pEnableThemeDialogTexture( this->m_hWnd, ETDT_ENABLETAB );

FreeLibrary( m_hthemeDllHandle );
}

And include these defines in the header:

#define ETDT_DISABLE 0x00000001
#define ETDT_ENABLE 0x00000002
#define ETDT_USETABTEXTURE 0x00000004
#define ETDT_ENABLETAB ( ETDT_ENABLE | ETDT_USETABTEXTURE )

Hope it helps.
