TabPage Color
Hi,
I need to change the backcolor of a TabControl (not the individual TabPages). How should I do this? Any code/links appreciated!
Edit: More specifically, I just want to change the colour behind the TabPage Tabs, so it doesn't look awkward after Ive changed the color of the TabPages themselves.

Lacutah,
This was great, here is the c# code for the same thing...
This was great, here is the c# code for the same thing...
private void tabControl_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
// This draws the background.
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Black, e.Bounds);
// Get the correct text to draw from the text property of the page
// that you're drawing for
string txtStr = tabControl.TabPages[e.Index].Text;
// Draw the string, in this case, I made the text White,
// and the +3 merely offsets the text from the upper left corner of the tab.
e.Graphics.DrawString(txtStr, tabControl.Font, Brushes.White, e.Bounds.X + 3, e.Bounds.Y + 3);
