DrawText in tab control

This one's embarrassingly simple, but how do I go about disabling a DrawText command in a tab control? The usual disable=(tab!=n) doesn't work with DrawText. I suspect it's to do with the /W=winName option to DrawText, but I can't find a clear example of the use of subwindow names in tab controls. Can anyone help out with either a quick example or a pointer to the documentation I should be reading?

Thanks in advance...
Tab controls aren't sub-windows, and DrawText isn't a control, so your attempt to use disable won't work. Most uses of DrawText in a control panel can be done using the TitleBox control. In that case, the disable keyword will work.

Thanks John. I'll take a look at TitleBox tomorrow. Not the answer I expected, so I appreciate the clarification...
