Is there any way I can get the rectangle area of the TabPage area only of a
TabControl.
I am trying here to paint my tabpage area with one color and tabPage tabs in
a different color.
Thanks

Sure, suppose you have a tabpage called TabPage1. The following code will
paint just the client area of the tab page red:
Dim rect As Rectangle
Dim g As System.Drawing. Graphics
rect = TabPage1.Client Rectangle()
g = TabPage1.Create Graphics()
g.FillRectangle (System.Drawing .Brushes.Red, rect)

That did not work.. it paints the entire area including the tab headers.. I
want just the page area to paint red...
I understand what you are saying.. I too read the help that says the client
rectangle gives the page area width, but unfournately it paints the entire
area red.. Is it because that I have also code to paint the tabs in
different color and the property DrawMode set to OwnerDrawFixed?

Hi VJ,
The rectangle has a rectangle.heigh t and a rectangle.width property, I have
the same problem as you however I think that we can do that both?

This won't change the color of the tab's border and header.

A little more info on your situation is needed. The answers which others
have provided look like good answers to me. and is the reason that I have
not jumped in earlier. Perhaps you've asked the wrong question.
I take it you have an Inherited TabControl. Where and how are you doing the
painting?
you can get the tabcontrols Tabpage Rectangle by using:
Dim MyRect as Rectangle
If MyBase.TabCount > 0 Then
MyRect = Mybase.TabPages (0).Bounds
End If
Here's a link to some code for a complete Owner Draw Tab control that I
posted in the microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb.controls newsgroup.

Hi Guys
Having problem with the tab control, I need to set the background color to
something different than the standard, I have found code on the web and now
can redraw the tabpage buttons so the are set to the right color, I can
obviously change the tabpage colour but I am left with a grey top edge(Where
there are no buttons) when the background of the form is changed any ideas
on what I can do?

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. ...
