VB6 TabStrip control lacks BackColor property
How does one change background property for TabStrip OCX. Solution to the original question points to http://www.elitevb.com/content/01,0042,01/ , which is now not available. Does anyone have a copy?
Answer to this question https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21634250/change-color-of-tabstrip-control-in-vB6.html
utilizes subclassing, is there any other way, say, sending a message?

If what you want is to change the color of the tabs themselves rather than the background of the control then I am afraid that you cannot do this. If you use the SSTab control from VB6 SP4 update then it is possible to assign bitmap images to the tabs which can simulate a background color for the tab. However you have to also include the text for the caption within the bitmap.
Similar to what gplana mentions, I normally place a frame control on top of each tab and then I can set the Color as I see fit and all objects fit nicely on the frame.
