DrawItem Event in TabControl Doesn't Cover the Entire Header

I'm using a TabControl and have overridden the DrawItem event to produce my own background and foreground colors for the header text. It looks good but there's still grey color around each header. I thought maybe the Padding property could be set to (0,0) but that seemed to have no effect.

Here is a screenshot.

How can I get rid of the grey edges?

Thanks. :)

Hi Neef,

Here is a good link to OwnerDraw examples and source code for the TabControl: http://dotnetrix.co.uk/tabcontrol.htm

Hope this helps :)

Excellent link, thank you very much!
