Problem with TabControl

Hi,

Im working on a dotnet application and using TabControl.
My requirement is to highlight the currently selected
tabpage and show the caption in a different font and
background color. What i found is that we are not getting
control over the tabpage heading area. Setting hottrack to
true is not enough in my case.

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Gupta.

Gupta,

In this case, you are going to have to custom paint the tab page to
reflect the changes that you want.

Hope this helps.
