Transparent TabControl

Hi,

I'm trying to make a TabControl transparent, but with no result.
I must place it in a form with a background image.

Does anyone know this problem?

The standard Windows.Forms.T abControl does not support transparency, but my
modification of it does:
TabControlEX can be downloaded from my site and is free to use in any way
you wish.

I want to place a tabControl with almost identical properties on several forms. I think the best way is to define a UserControl that inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabControl, and place all my controls on it. The problem is that I don't know how to bring up the graphical design interface for the TabControl. I suppose I COULD just design it as a UserControl and place a TabControl on it, but that seems a bit... inelegant (I'm going to...

I have a few hundred forms in my application. All are based on a custom base form class. I decided that I wanted to globally change the look and feel of many of the controls in my application - including the tab control. I did this by writing a component that I attached to the form. The component has a "Start" function which takes the form as a paramater. This cycles through all the controls on the form, changes some of the properties...

I am writing an application where I will have a TabControl and 3 styles of Tabs to go in it, each containing different controls. The tabs will be added to the tabcontrol when items are clicked on in a TreeView. So the the application starts by displaying no tabs and adds them in as required. There could be any number of each tab (0 upwards). What is the best way of me doing this? Should I create 3 custom controls that extend TabPage?...

Hi all In a Visual Studio 2005 C# project, I have a simplest tabcontrol with two tabpages. When I set tab control's Alignment property to Right, tab texts (captions) disappear. Does anybody know how to fix this? I tried this on two computers, at work and at home, both with Windows XP with latest service packs, and Framework 2.0 and 3.0 with latest SP.

Hi all, New poster here! I'm having some difficulty updating a tabcontrol cross-threads. The general idea is : the main thread is the owner of the tab control and the form controls. However, due to the vast amount of data to populate listviews within the tabs, I have created a worker thread (an implementation of a BackgroundWorker) to form the data and populate a tabcontrol 'offline', so that it doesn't interfer with (i.e freeze) the UI. ...

Ran into an inconvenience with TabControls yesterday. I found a partial explanation from Allen Browne on the MS message boards explaining when it happens, but not why. I thought Stephen Lebans (who's done a little work with this for his multi-colored listbox class), or someone else might've figured this out. Here's the scenario: DBs created on Windows XP using A2K7 are apparently incapable of displaying TabControl transparency....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
