    Posted: 17 November 2009 at 11:21am
I have put some CJ controls onto a CJ TabControl.
I set the Labels and CheckBoxes and RadioButtons   .Transparent = True.

The Label correctly goes transparent (and shows backcolor of Tab page).
But the CheckBox and RadioButton do not go transparent -- they just show grey background (color of Form?)

How can I get CheckBox and RadioButton to appear transparent?
(I could set their  .BackColor   but I can't find a BackColor property for the Tab Page -- I have set OneNote Colors)



SOLUTION:  (work around)

    chkBox.Transparent = False
    chkBox.BackColor = Tab1(x).color

                where x  is the Tab Page containing the chkBox.

Just add as tabcontrolpage on the tabcontrol and add checkbox into this tabcontrolpage.
Transparency is managed for controls only in TabControlPages (see CJ sample for Controls).

I added tabcontrolpage and now the checkbox shows the color of the tabcontrolpage.

BUT how do I get tabcontrolpage to show color of the Tab ??

I have set Tab to use One Note Colors.
Is there a Tab property that will give me the background color of each Tab ?  (I can't find it)

Hello,

You'll not have the problem with "standard tab" themes (like xp or office 2007).
The tabcontrolpage when onenotecolor = true seems to always be grey.
Not sure but you'll certainly find the color in the paintmanager colorset.

I found a way to get the ChkBox to have same BackColor as the TabControl page


    chkBox.Transparent = False
    chkBox.BackColor = Tab1(x).color

                where x  is the Tab Page containing the chkBox.
