Hi,
Delphi provides the PageControle with a HotTrack-property, which colors the text of the Tabsheet Blue if the mousepointer is over the tabsheet.
This is implemented in Delphi5. Not sure if it was also provided in version 3.
Maybe this is enough to solve your problem ?

well, don't know if the TPageControl provides a canvas at d3
maybe this change helps
//property OwnerDraw must be set to true
procedure TForm1.PageControl1DrawTab
TabIndex: Integer; const Rect: TRect; Active: Boolean);
var
ARect : TRect;
pc : TPageControl;
begin
if (Control is TPageControl) then
begin
pc := Control as TPageControl;
ARect := Rect;
pc.Canvas.brush.Color := clBtnFace;
pc.Canvas.FillRect(ARect);
InflateRect(ARect,-2,-2);
if active then
pc.Canvas.brush.Color := clRed
else
pc.Canvas.brush.Color := clBtnFace;
pc.Canvas.FillRect(ARect);
pc.Canvas.TextOut(ARect.Le
pc.Pages[TabIndex].Caption
end;
end;
hope that helps
