Changing the BackColor of the TabControl

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

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.

Hope this helps,
Roger

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? Cartoper

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