How can we access the window messages of a property sheet like WM_CTLCOLOR?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
