    EDIT: mmm, it works but some 3d lines has gone, i would use the first code i attached, the backcolor is darker than the one in the picturebox because its melted with the default gray vb color (vbButtonFace) that the SSTab already has as Backcolor, but its not so bad, just change the color in the picturebox knowing that the result will be a little bit darker

    I need the background color to be white (to imitate the Windows XP/Vista style)... Setting it to white does not work, any gray gets too dark.

    This one does not help either because it paints the background (the part in the top right corner) with the color.

    Did you try the example in my last post? if you change the backcolor of the first Picturebox to White the first SSTab Backcolor will be White.

    Edit: I see it doesn't looks good when using ssPropertypage Style with a White backcolor, this is because when using ssPropertypage style the Top and Left borders are already white, then they become invisible.

    A little off-topic: does anyone know a tab control that applies the Windows XP and Vista theme?

    I have been using this code since one year.

    http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=509087


    Since our project was too big, we could not find out the cause that crashes our software. We recently came to know that this code was the culprit especially when run on a modal form.

    I have attached a sample here.
    http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.p...1&d=1234530800

    If you click "End Program" on Form2, entire project crashes. Provided "End" is improper way of program termination, still it is troublesome. Please help...
