This was my code for anyone else who might have the same question (VB 2005)
 
With TabControl
    .InsertItem(0, "Connection", frmConnection.Handle.ToInt32, 0)
    .InsertItem(1, "Chat", frmChat.Handle.ToInt32, 0)
    .InsertItem(2, "Transfer", frmTransfer.Handle.ToInt32, 0)
    .InsertItem(3, "Settings", frmSettings.Handle.ToInt32, 0)
    .DrawFocusRect = False
End With
 
With TabControl.PaintManager
    .Appearance = XTPTabAppearanceStyle.xtpTabAppearancePropertyPage2003
    .BoldSelected = True
    .Color = XTPTabColorStyle.xtpTabColorOffice2003
    .Layout = XTPTabLayoutStyle.xtpTabLayoutSizeToFit
    .Position = XTPTabPosition.xtpTabPositionTop

    .ColorSet.ControlFace = Convert.ToUInt32(ColorTranslator.ToWin32(Color.Red))
End With

Hi,
yes, you can customize colors.
 
TabControl.PaintManager.ColorSet.ControlFace = ...
 
but not sure if it was available in 10.1 :(

Hi, i'm trying to design a "themed" program that allows the user to customize the fonts/colors/etc of the forms. I used the Office XP theme on the CommandBars and it allowed me to set the special colors of the menu to make it fully customizable. The only thing that doesn't match is the TabControl, I tried .PaintManager.Color = XTPTabColorStyle.xtpTabColorOffice2003 but it doesn't have a SetSpecialColor function. I saw a few things in the XtremeSuiteControls namespace but I couldn't figure out how to use them. So in short, is it possible to set user defined custom colors on a TabControl? I'm using version 10.1.]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:31:16 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5564&PID=17497&title=tabcontrol-color-question#17497
