Thelaughedking Posted November 19, 2021 Posted November 19, 2021 Hello readers I am trying to change the color of the tab created by GUICtrlCreateTabItem("text"). To be clear I am not referring to the background color of the GUI in the Tab Item, but the little tab at the top that would say in this case say "text" (I see a lot of posts relating to background color - I have seen those posts) Alternatively I would like to change just the color of the text in the tab if not the background. Any help much appreciated.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 22, 2021 Moderators Posted November 22, 2021 Thelaughedking, This is not a trivial problem. Nothing I can find on this subject is easily portable to AutoIt (code is either .Net or some form of C) and even in those languages it looks to be a tough task. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I think you might be looking for something outwith AutoIt's capabilities. M23 P.S. I only put in that last sentence to spur on the real gurus here to come up with something!

LarsJ Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Since a Tab control supports the $TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style, this is probably the easiest place to get started. Google "TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED site: autoitscript.com" for some examples.
