DISCUSSION

The DrawThemeTabPane function draws a theme-compliant tab pane. A tab control consists of two basic components: multiple tabs that label the various content pages that can be displayed and a single pane upon which the content for each tab is drawn. Use the function DrawThemeTab to draw the tab. The Appearance Manager coordinates the appearance of the pane and frontmost tab automatically.

VERSION NOTES

This function is available with Appearance Manager 1.1 and later.
