Extended Tab Control Styles

Windows CE supports two extended tab control styles. The first style uses the TCM_SETEXTENDEDSTYLE message or its corresponding macro, TabCtrl_SetExtendedStyle, to set the extended style. It uses the TCM_GETEXTENDEDSTYLE message or its corresponding macro, TabCtrl_GetExtendedStyle, to retrieve the extended style.

Note Because an extended tab control style is not the same as an extended window style, you cannot pass an extended tab control style to CreateWindowEx when you create a tab control.

The second extended tab control style, TCS_EX_FLATSEPARATORS, draws separators between tab items in tab controls that have the TCS_BUTTONS or TCS_FLATBUTTONS style. When you create a tab control with the TCS_FLATBUTTONS style, this extended style is set by default.
