How would I draw a line under the tabs?

Almost got it ... I’m having to manually adjust the coords though, whats the correct way of doing it?

PS:  What’s up with forum message cut & paste ... it never seems to work properly!

TAB_ITEM_INFO* pTab = ItemGet(SelectionGet());

CRect rcTab = pTab->ItemRectGet();

rcTab.left += 4;

rcTab.right += 3;

dc.FillSolidRect(rcClient.left, rcClient.bottom - 1, rcTab.left, rcClient.bottom - 1, RGB(240, 240, 240));

dc.FillSolidRect(rcTab.right, rcClient.bottom - 1, rcClient.right, rcClient.bottom - 1, RGB(240, 240, 240));

GetRectTabNearBorderArea() returns (0, 0, 0, 0) & nothing else throughout the life of the application ... so I’m using rcClient instead.

I’m currently drawing a line under all tabs, how do I get the area of the currently selected tab so that don’t draw a line under it?

It can be empty initially or when the layout computation is delayed. You should ignore these cases.

GetRectTabNearBorderArea() is returning (0, 0, 0, 0) ???

Here is the sample code:

class CMyTabWnd : public CExtTWPC < CExtTabWnd >
{
public:
    virtual void OnTabWndDrawEntire(
        CDC & dc,
        CRect & rcClient
        )
    {
        CExtTWPC < CExtTabWnd > :: OnTabWndDrawEntire( dc, rcClient );
        CRect rcNearBorder = GetRectTabNearBorderArea();
        . . . to-do: draw your lines here
    }
};

class CMyTabPageContainerWnd : public CExtTabPageContainerWnd
{
public:
    virtual CExtTabWnd* OnTabWndGetTabImpl()
    {
        return new CMyTabWnd;
    }
};
