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
