Hi, All -
I'd like to ba able to change the BackColor on the StatusBar and TabControl
from it standard grey to white for a particular app. With all the Drawing
capabilities in dotNet it must be possible, and these controls have an
overridable BackColor property - can anyone explain or post code on how to
go about it?
Thanks,
Peter 1 3313
Thanks, Roger - that look good.

As I understand DotNet's standard and common control classes, they simply wrap the existing functionality of the underlying Win32 controls, and generally do not add or make available any new functionality. I suggest looking at DotNetMagic, which has a dotnet tab control with more features than the standard tab control, as well as other cool stuff.

I am working in VS2008.
I have a TabControl on a form. The background color of the TabControl
is not the standard KnownColor.Control color, it is a lighter color.
I have placed a TrackBar on the TabControl and it's BackColor is that
of the KnownColor.Control. The question is, how do I make the
TabControl's backcolor that of the container it is on?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
