Changing the background color of tabcontrol

[Iconoclast]

Hello friends,
I am new to Vs.net and C# development environment... I wanted to know, how
to change the background color of tabcontrol (which is set bydefault to
systemcolor.control).. i want to set it to something like a khaki or steel
blue... there isnt a backcolor property for tabcontrol, nor there is a
transparent property for it , so that i can place it on a panel and set the
panels color to achieve the desired color... i dont know which methods to
override or hide to achieve this... please guide me :)

There's a lot of work involved, but my site shows you how.

You'll also find TabControlEX on my site which will allow you to set the
backcolor by simply setting the BackColor property as well as many other
frequently requested things that MS didn't include.
