background color of tabs in tabcontrol

Hello,

Is there a way to change the background color of the tabs in a tabcontrol
(there where the name of the tab is and where you click to change to an
other tab) I don't see any property or member where I can manipulate the
apperance of this region. I changed all mij background but the tabs stay in
gray

tnx

Herfried,

Tnx for info, your completely Owner Drawn TabControl inspired me to rewrite
my own.
There just is a litle risk on an exeption error in your message pump, you
call SelectedIndexChanging(..) without checking if there is someone
subscribed tot the event.

Greetings

Jean Paul

I'm using a tabControl on one of the forms of my MS Access database. The grey bar looks pretty bad on my form. Is there any way to change the colour of the tabs or the tab background for the tabControl in MS Access? I'd even resort to an API call if necessary. Thanks! P.s. Anyone else having problems posting to the Microsoft news server?
