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
