Hi Everyone,
   this might seem a bit stupid but can anyone tell me how to change the background (colour or image) of a tab control - not a tab panel but the actual control.

I'm going nutz here thinking that I'm being a bit dense although I can't find any reference to doing it.

thanks,
Ed.

I'm afraid that the only way I found was to set the DrawMode property on the tab control to OwnerDrawFixed and then implement the DrawItem method to color the tabs as you desire.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've moved this thread to the Windows Forms General group from the C# Language group, as it's more to do with Windows Forms than C# itself.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but do the tips on my site help at all?
