tab control - customize color

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi,

How can I customize the color of the CJ tab control?  I'm trying to mimic the appearance of the original tab controls that we are using for our applications.  However, I can't set the custom color that we are using on the CJ tab control, it is only accepting some predefined values.

Thanks.

	Hi, Use ColorSet properties: For example TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.ButtonNormal = vbRed

	Hi Oleg, Thanks for the help; I was able to set the tab control's back color to our custom color. I had to set several of the TabControl's ColorSet properties to get it working properly. 'Tab Control TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.ButtonNormal = Color TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.ButtonSelected = Color TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.ControlFace = Color TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.HeaderFaceDark = Color TabControl1.PaintManager.ColorSet.HeaderFaceLight = Color
