Theme Tab Style Constants

You can pass a constant of type ThemeTabStyle to the function DrawThemeTab to draw a theme-compliant tab in a specific state. You can also pass a ThemeTabStyle constant to the function GetThemeTabRegion to obtain the region containing a tab in a specific state. The ThemeTabStyle constants are available with Appearance Manager 1.1 and later.
