Background Color on Tab Control

Hi,

This is my second post.

I want to change the "ENTIRE" bacground color for a tab
control, not just the tabs and not just the area for each
tab, but the entire background color (i.e. borders et al.)
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,

mikl

P.S. I got a reply that sent me to a site that changed
partial color of the tabs and one that overwrote the
backcolor but that only changed the square area within
each tab, not the entire control

Hi Mikl,

I saw that message and also the anwers, one was a mistake because you did
ask for the entire control while most people ask for the tabs.

So you got two good answers, because coloring the tabcontrol is often a
subject in this newsgroup that has not answers, because as far as we know
there is not.

It is something I wrote last time in a dicussion about the next release with
new controls, I said that the current controls are still incomplete and I
took the coloring of the tabpages, so what will be with the next release
incomplete or maybe complete I said in that message.

But you are of course on the route, when you want to color, you can color
the parts one by one or just remove things as borders, and other things,
that does not have a function, when it has to be an egal color.

I know it helps very few but maybe something?
