Appearance of Tabs

Hi, :wave:

I have made an application which has several tabs. Is there any way I can changes their appearence to something rather that normal, button, or flat button. Or is there a way to apply a background image for the tab itself, not the tab page. Because for buttons, you can apply a background image, but not for tabs.

Thanks, :)

You have to draw them yourself.

Thanks,

That was a very helpful link. However, it does not explain how to display an image on the tab it self. It just says this

" I'll leave you the challenge of modifying the code to show an image."

The problem is that I am a beginner at VB and don't know a thing about codes.

Can you pleas help.

Thanks,

Alex

If you're drawing the tabs yourself then you're using GDI+, i.e. the methods of a Graphics object. The Graphics class has a DrawImage method.
