I am looking at a similar problem with tab coloring. In my case I am changing the SkinFramework. After reading this thread I found that applying the dll helped here too even though I might not be using a 2007 skin. However, there are some skins such as the Luna Homestead that don't go very well with any of the available dll's. Since I am a newbee with codejock, my questions in order are am I missing something, are there other dll's available somewhere other than the four in the samples, or is there somewhere a description of the dll structure so the user can create their own?

Thanks for your help.

Your suggestions was indeed the soloution - however, I did also need to make the TabControl refresh/redraw after updating the global settings as you indicicated. The only was I could find of doing this was to reset the .Colour property to the same value, so the basically added:

SuiteControlsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images = App.Path & "\Office2007Black.dll"

TabControl1.Color = xtpTabColorOffice2007

Have you tried setting the office 2007 images path of global settings for the suite controls? Example:


   SuiteControlsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images = App.Path & "\Office2007Black.dll"

(Assuming the office 2007 dll is in your application path).

Hi,

I'm using v13.0.0 controls. I have an app using the RibbonBar in conjuction with the ReportControl & TabControl.

When the Color property of the TabControl is set to (32 = xpTabColorOffice2007) - the tab matches the Ribbonbars blue theme nicely - however, if I select a different style for the Ribbon bar (Black/Auqa/Silver) the tabcontrol retains a blue theme. How can I make the tabcontrol use the same colour theme as the ribbon?

I can make the ReportControl follow the Ribbon Theme, but have had no luck with the tab control. Is it possible?
