- Starting from top level IE window (class "IEFrame") search for a window with class name "DirectUIHWND" (This is the window containing tab buttons).

- Call AccessibleObjectFromWindow to get an IAccessible object from the window handle found above.

- Using IAccessible methods (IAccessible::get_accChild, IAccessible::accNavigate) browse the accessible children hierarchy and find the tab you're interested in. The tab accessible object has the role "page tab". (Inspect32 is a nice tool to have when working with AA).

- Get the screen location of the tab button using IAccessible::accLocation method and paint some visual effects on it.
