Please override the following virtual method and repaint the tab window’s background in it:

    virtual void OnTabWndEraseClientArea(
        CDC & dc,
        CRect & rcClient,
        CRect & rcTabItemsArea,
        CRect & rcTabNearBorderArea,
        DWORD dwOrientation,
        bool bGroupedMode
        );

Here is the virtual method to override:

void CExtTabWhidbeyWnd::OnTabWndQueryItemColors(
	LONG nItemIndex,
	bool bSelected,
	bool bHover,
	bool bEnabled,
	COLORREF * pclrBorder, // = NULL,
	COLORREF * pclrBkLight, // = NULL,
	COLORREF * pclrBkDark, // = NULL,
	COLORREF * pclrText // = NULL
	)

The function you have specified is for changing colors for the tabs displayed (as marked by green arrow in the following image)
What I need is the change the color of the bar on which the tabs are displayed (as marked by red arrows)
