TabControl BackColor, SkinFramework & Label

Hi,

I have a TabControl with a TabControlPage on it (no borders/tabs for wizard style). There is also a SkinFramework on a different form that skins the project. Lastly, I've placed a CJ Label on the form with EnableMarkup = True.

I'm trying to get the backcolor of the label to match the backcolor of the tabcontrolpage.

I've tried:

Me.Label1.Backcolor = Me.TabControlPage1(0).BackColor

and

Me.Label1.Backcolor = me.TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.PaneFace

Without success. Here's the result:



Also, If possible, I'd like to be able to set the tabcontrolpage backcolor to white...I've tried:

Me.TabControlPage1(0).BackColor = vbWhite

But it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Hi Oleg,

    In this case, Transparent = True will work, but based on a previous thread it won't work if I put the Label on a UserControl...Is there are way to get the exact background color from the PaintManager? Also, is there a way to explicitly set the TabControlPage backcolor? Me.TabControlPage.Backcolor = vbWhite doesn't seem to work.

Thanks.
