How to change the text color of the selected property sheet tab in Visual C++

MORE INFORMATION

1. Create a new class called CMyTabCtrl deriving from CTabCtrl. Override the DrawItem method for CTabCtrl. Because ClassWizard does not show this method, this method needs to be added manually. The sample code below shows how to change the color of the text of the selected tab:
   

   void CMyTabCtrl::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDIS)
   {
        TC_ITEM tci;
        CDC* pDC = CDC::FromHandle(lpDIS->hDC);
        CRect rect(lpDIS->rcItem);
        char szTabText[256];
        memset(szTabText,'\0',sizeof(szTabText));
        
        tci.mask = TCIF_TEXT;
        tci.pszText = szTabText;
        tci.cchTextMax = sizeof(szTabText) -1;
        GetItem(lpDIS->itemID, &tci);
        
        if (lpDIS->itemAction & ODA_DRAWENTIRE)
        {
            pDC->TextOut(rect.left+5, rect.top+5, tci.pszText);
        }
        
        if ((lpDIS->itemState & ODS_SELECTED) && 
            (lpDIS->itemAction & (ODA_SELECT | ODA_DRAWENTIRE)))
        {
            //Make the color of text of the selected tab to be BLUE.
            pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,0,255));
            pDC->TextOut(rect.left+5, rect.top+5, tci.pszText);
        }
   }
   						

2. Create a new class, CMyPropertySheet, derived from CPropertySheet and add a member variable m_myTabCtrl of type CMyTabCtrl.
   
   Add a handler for WM_INITDIALOG message. After the call to the base class OnInitDialog, add the code as shown below to subclass the tab control and make it an owner-drawn control:
   

   BOOL CMyPropertySheet::OnInitDialog()
   {
      BOOL bResult = CPropertySheet::OnInitDialog();
   
      /* Subclass the tab control. */ 
      m_myTabCtrl.SubclassWindow(GetTabControl()->m_hWnd);
   
      /* Make it owner drawn. */ 
      m_myTabCtrl.ModifyStyle(0,TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED);
   
      return bResult;
   }
