Transparent background for SysTabControl32

[stupomer]

Hi Gintaras,
I was wondering if it is possible to make transparent background for SysTabControl32 i.e. for part that are not buttons (See attached screenshot).
When I give background of whole dialog a background color using DT_SetBackgroundColor, it makes the non-button part of TabControl visible. I tried to find a version of WM_CTLCOLORXX for tab control but couldn't. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
S 

Function dlg_multipage_with_tab_control

Code:

\Dialog_Editor

if(hDlg) goto messages

if(!ShowDialog("dlg_multipage_with_tab_control" &dlg_multipage_with_tab_control)) ret
