    Tab control background color

    How can I give tab control a background color? Or foreground color?

    I've searched Google, but found nothing.

    What is the best way to make tabbed windows?
    There should be a window for each tab, which contains the controls in that tab, but what class should I use for it?

    Typically, a borderless dialog is used for each tab, especially if different controls are to be displayed in each tab. You can either create them all at once and just show/hide them in response to a TCN_SELCHANGE notification, or create/destroy them in response to the same notification.

    If you prefer you can register and create your own window classes and use them instead.
