Question:

Why can't you set the TabControl BackColor in Visual Basic 2005 XE?

Any ideas?

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

Hi, I have a VB.NET 2005 application with a standard tabcontrol on it. The application has the 'VisualStyles' enabled giving it an 'XP' look. For some reason, the back color of this tabpane has suddenly changed to 'white'. It used to be the standard 'control grey' color. The XP syle hasn't changed though, just the color. This is strange because the tab control doesn't even have a 'back color' property as far as I can see. Some details:...
