Set Background Color For SSTab

[MrVB50au]

When I change background colors of SSTab, it changes ok but tabs are still windows default.

Is there a way I can change this without control panel? I want my app' to be self dependant from the default colors.

Any help would be appriciated.

Unfortunately, rorubin's posted link is for the TabStrip and not the SSTab.

For the SSTab, under VB6, I haven't seen a method, API call, or whatever, to do what you want.

You can only at best place a frame on the tab and dynamically resize it when the sstab resizes. But this is still a poor solution as it will never look 100% right.
