Use VS2005 beta 2. Want to place usual TabControl on ToolStrip. What I did:
1. Wrap TabControl by ToolStripControlHost:

namespace _11_ {     public class ToolStripTabControl : ToolStripControlHost     {         // Call the base constructor passing in a TabControl instance.         public ToolStripTabControl() : base(new TabControl()) { }         public TabControl TabControl         {             get             {                 return base.Control as TabControl;             }         }     } }

2. Use this new ToolStripTabControl:

namespace _11_ {     public partial class Form1 : Form     {         private ToolStripTabControl _tsTabControl = new ToolStripTabControl();         public Form1()         {             InitializeComponent();             TabPage tp = new TabPage("NNN");             tp.BackColor = Color.Magenta; // <<PROBLEM!!             this._tsTabControl.TabControl.TabPages.Add(tp);             this.toolStrip2.Items.Insert(2, this._tsTabControl);         }     } ......................................         private void InitializeComponent()         {             .............................             this.toolStrip2 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip();             .............................          } }

It's all work fine with one exception: BackColor of "NNN" page DON'T Magenta, it's still White! Am I wrong? Or is this just a one more bug in ToolStrip Technology?
