Hello,
i habe CExtResizeableDialog with a CExtTabWnd,
i have to rsize it to the client with.


If i use the following code:
virtual void OnTabWndEraseClientArea(
                        CDC & dc,
                        CRect & rcClient,
                        CRect & rcTabItemsArea,
                        CRect & rcTabNearBorderArea,
                        DWORD dwOrientation,
                        bool bGroupedMode
)
{
    ASSERT_VALID( this );
    ASSERT( dc.GetSafeHdc() != NULL );
    rcTabItemsArea = rcClient;
    rcTabItemsArea.DeflateRect(7,0,7,0);
    PmBridge_GetPM()->PaintTabbedTabClientArea(
                        dc,
                        rcClient,
                        rcTabItemsArea,
                        rcTabNearBorderArea,
                        dwOrientation,
                        bGroupedMode,
                        this
    );
}
it apears like


The Background of the tablist buttons is transparent.
Can you tell me the way how to make the left an right buttons non transparent ?

Thanks Dirk Lindner

The way of painting tab background demonstrated in your message is incorrect. If you need to implement custom layout inside the tab window, then you should code your version of the CExtTabWnd::_RecalcLayoutImpl() internal virtual method. You can just copy source code from original method and change what you need. The m_rcTabItemsArea rectangle is computed in this method and it defines the area which is occupied by tab items.
