Does anyone knows where to find a good example of how to implement and use Owner-Drawn Tabs using WinAPI?

All I could find on my googling are VB and MFC examples. English is not my native lenguage so maybe I skip something good.

I already have the tab working but im having problems dealing with its messages and structures for DRAWITEM, WM_PAINT, etc.

Thanks in advance.

  As an alternative to making myself insane with this Owner Drawn Tabs: Is there a way to change the color of a normal Tab Control?
  
  I already suceeded on doing it to all other controls (case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC, case WM_CTLCOLOREDIT, case WM_CTLCOLORLISTBOX, case WM_CTLCOLORBTN, case WM_CTLCOLORDLG, case WM_CTLCOLORSCROLLBAR).
  
  But i could find no way to change the Tab Control BG color... Thats why im thinking of a Owner Drawn control :( But please, tell me theres an easier way :)
