TFolder question

You may use TFolderEx

Is there a simpler option? We already have the Tfolder class in use and would be a major effort to rewrite.

Unfortunately the Windows standard Tab control does not allow to change the folder tab prompt color.

To use TFolderEx instead a TFolder, you only need to replace FOLDER with FOLDEREX in your PRGs and
replace "SysTabControl32" with "TFolderex" in your RC files. That simple.
