There is a callback on the property sheet structure, PFNPROPSHEETCALLBACK, but the messages are limited to PSCB_INITIALIZED, PSCB_PRECREATE and PSCB_BUTTONPRESSED. I want to handle messages like WM_CTLCOLOR but can't seem to find a way to do it. Is it possible?

My end goal is to change the color of the tab controls and the outer frame of the property sheet dialog.

  • The `WM_CTLCOLOR*` messages are sent to the parent of the control. In this case the parent of the tab control, presumably a dialog you implemented. Though I don't know whether a tab control supports this customization at all. – IInspectable Oct 07 '21 at 11:26

change the color of the tab controls

If you want to customize its appearance, I suggestm you should owner draw the tab control. And you could refer to the Doc: Owner-Drawn Tabs

change the outer frame of the property sheet dialog.

If you want to change the Themes and Visual Styles, I suggest you could try to enable Visual Styles.
