2 colors combo for back color of Windows controls

[VJ]

How do I use shade effect as colors. For example when I change the backcolor
of my tab page, how do I set it to a faded 2 color combination?

You will have to draw the background yourself using a
'System.Drawing .Drawing2D.Line arGradientBrush ' as brush.

Hi,

Add Imports System.Drawing. Drawing2D to the top of your code file. In
the paint event for the tab page try something like this.

Private Sub TabPage1_Paint( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.PaintEven tArgs) Handles TabPage1.Paint
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Dim sf As New StringFormat
Dim brText As New SolidBrush(TabP age1.ForeColor)
Dim rDraw As RectangleF

Dim br As New LinearGradientB rush(TabPage1.B ounds,
TabPage1.BackCo lor, Color.White, 90, False)

Dim bl As New Blend

bl.Factors = New Single() {0.0F, 0.1F, 0.5F, 0.7F, 0.7F, 0.5F, 0.3F,
0.2F, 0}

bl.Positions = New Single() {0, 0.1F, 0.2F, 0.5F, 0.6F, 0.7F, 0.8F,
0.9F, 1.0F}

br.Blend = bl

g.FillRectangle (br, RectangleF.op_I mplicit(TabPage 1.Bounds))
End Sub
