 Topic: TabControl Color = xpTabColorOffice2007Posted: 05 May 2009 at 11:35am |

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?

Have you tried setting the office 2007 images path of global settings for the suite controls? Example:
(Assuming the office 2007 dll is in your application path). |

jbpro - you are a star!
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:
TabControl1.Color = xtpTabColorOffice2007

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. |
