Is it possible to paint the tabs at the bottom for the Tab Control. I know it 
is possible, because  VC++ 4.0 does it, how can I do it?

Visual C++ 4.0 doesn't use the standard tab control.  Taking 30 seconds with
Spy++ shows that the Visual C++ "bottom" style tabs are custom windows (their
classes are Afx classes).

This isn't possible. The common tab control does not support a "Bottom" 
orientation--only top and left.

> I know it is possible

This isn't possible.

>because VC++ 4.0 does it,

VC++ 4.0 doesn't do it.  You can use Spy++ to verify, for yourself, that VC++ 
4.0 isn't doing it.

> how can I do it?

You should do what VC++ 4.0 does, which is draw your own control from scratch 
on your own CWnd by yourself.
