I’m trying to control some soulseek features from VB6 – the problem is the SysTabControl32 – how can I read out which tab is selected? The API spy only returns the SysTabcontrol32 but no tab button

    I suggest try the TCM_GETCURSEL message. It should return the index of the currently selected tab.

    The code is something like this below – I adapted this from vbAccelerator’s cTabCtrl but haven’t tested it.

    Private Const TCM_FIRST = &H1300 
Private Const TCM_GETCURSEL = (TCM_FIRST + 11)
Private Declare Function SendMessageLong Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" _
 (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As _
 Long) As Long

Public Function SelectedTab(ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
    SelectedTab = SendMessageLong(hWnd, TCM_GETCURSEL, 0, 0) + 1
End Property
