Multi Line Tab Control - Close to giving up

[Gunner]

If I create a single line tab control, no problems with the "tab containers" showing.  However, if I create a multiline tab control, then the "tab containers" do not show unless I move my window off screen and back.  I am at wits end here...  Any suggestions?

sounds like it isn't being drawn
maybe InvalidateRgn, UpdateWindow or whatever to force WM_PAINT ???

Oh, if my legs could bend that way I would kick myself in the but...  I added WS_CLIPCHILDREN to the Tab Control and all is fine.
