GetSystemMetrics for tab controls?

Is there a GetSystemMetrics value for tab controls. I'm specifically interested in the thickness of its frame. If possible the height of the tab-bars too, but that can be retrieved from TabCtrl_GetItemRect (though it requires an actual item).

EDIT: Or at least the proper tab-control client rectangle (excluding the tabs and frame).

You're in luck, I think. ;)

A little program I started last week required the use of tabs and some controls "inside" their pages. Initially I placed an edit control within the confines of the page (excluding tabs and frame) using the following:-

Code:

RECT rc;

rc.left = rc.top = 0;
rc.right = LOWORD(lParam); // client width (This is from a WM_SIZE message)
rc.bottom = HIWORD(lParam); // client height
SendMessage(g_hwndTab, TCM_ADJUSTRECT, FALSE, (LPARAM)&rc); // tab control corrects

I hope that's what you wanted.

Mighty fine message. Thanks!
