hi,
i have been asked to make a good-looking app for a friend. i have an options
form with a big tabstrip in it.
1. how can i customize it e.g. change from the standard system style
tabcontrol to what i want?
2. if #1 isnt possible to do, what would be the best way to make something
look like a tabstrip?
microsoft office was made with creating custom objects (except most tabs).
even the menu bar was created from scratch. how can i do this with c#?

Funny,
i am in the same boat as you. I posted a similar question yesterday. The
reply pointed out that it involves doing graphics, etc. QUOTE from the reply
There was also this link It's going to be a lot of work but you'll find out
how from my site: http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/tabcontrols.html --> A completely ownerdraw
tabcontrol
END Quote.
I have previously created a custom control A in which i would place alll
controls i needed.
then i created another control for buttons B. Then i would place images on
the buttons.
Then i associate each A control with B. then onclick events i would show A
under this button and hide all other As, etc.
i am not good at graphics i have never done it. if you find a good solution
please share.

Alvo,
There really isn't this kind of functionality in the framework where you
can say "I want functionality like this, but draw it like this". If you
want something custom, then you will have to draw the control yourself.
Hope this helps.

hi,
nicholas P said that if youw ant to create a control you need to 'draw' it.
i'm not sure what he meant or how it's done but they did it in MS office
(although thaty was written in C++, not c#). it must be possible with c#
have some happy summer holidays
