Hi yener,

i can't change the color of caption of tabpages..
is there way to do that?

I'm afraid that its impossible to change color of
fonts or background.

There are hidden properties ForeColor & BackColor
but they doesn't work...

i found a VB version here:

http://www.onteorasoftware.com/VBControls.aspx#AnsTQ1

csharp version:

//Dont forget to set tabControl's drawMode to ownerDrawFixed..
private void tabControl1_DrawItem(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e)

{

Graphics g = e.Graphics ;

TabPage tp = tabControl1.TabPages[e.Index] ;
StringFormat sf = new StringFormat();

RectangleF r = new RectangleF(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y + 2, e.Bounds.Width,
e.Bounds.Height - 2);

sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center ;

string strTitle = tp.Text;

Brush br = new SolidBrush(Color.Red) ;

g.FillRectangle(br, e.Bounds);

g.DrawString(strTitle, tabControl1.Font, Brushes.White, r, sf) ;

}

thnx anyway..
