Changing color of SStab

[whizkaran]

Hi I have a SSTab on my form. But i cannot change its color. I changed colors on all the properties (forecolor, backcolor) but the color simply doesnt change.

How should i go about it ?

Thanks

No reason to go anywhere.

This is a pretty common question. A quick site search on this topic will turn up a number of threads from other members asking the exact same question.

Here is just one of them. If you don't like this solution, then do a search, check out the others.

Basically, however, you have two, and only two, options. Subclass the tab control or find a third party tab control that has already done that for you.

Follow the link I posted in this thread - it's the "coolest" sample project I've seen so far.

No, your link goes to xtremevb (where you do have to register). Mine goes to a post right here on VBF.

I did not mean that. I was talking of the attachment in the link you provided. The name of the attachment was so similar to the one in the xtremevbtalk (author Garret Sever) [there is also courtesy to him].

if backcolor is not going to work in SSTab why is it provided. MSDN also states backcolor can be changed. What are they talking about

I also noticed changing of back color afftects only corners/joints of each tab

Did you try sample project from the link I provided in post #5?
