I have managed to get a little closer by setting the TabControl "Appearance" property to 0, then using the following code to flip between skin colors or turn skinning off completely:
 
 
Private Sub mnuSkinBlue_Click()
 
    SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Office2007.cjstyles", "NormalBlue.ini"
    TabControl1.Color = xtpTabColorWinXP

End Sub

Private Sub mnuSkinNone_Click()
 
    SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path & "", ""
    TabControl1.Color = xtpTabColorDefault
 
End Sub

Private Sub mnuSkinSilver_Click()
 
    SkinFramework1.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Office2007.cjstyles", "NormalSilver.ini"
    TabControl1.Color = xtpTabColorWinXP
 
End Sub
 
OK, so how about a slightly associated question?  I thought about using the TabControlPage because it properly reflects the skinning when placed directly on the form, yet it does absolutely nothing when placed on the TabControl itself.  What gives?  Does it become transparent when placed on the TabControl?  If so, can we have a "Transparent" property to turn off this behaviour when needed?

Hello,

Yes this is closest look. There is no closer.

What properties do you need to set so that the TabControl will skin as the standard TabStrip does?  Setting "Appearance" to 0, and "Color" to 1 gets closest, but still nowhere near what I expect.  I can email screen shots if that would help explain things.]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:12:07 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12900&PID=43586&title=tabcontrol-appearance#43586
