Tabbed Control - possible to change its background colours?

[Keetso]

Hi.

I'm creating a tabbed control to use as my switchboard. I was wondering if it were possible to change the tabbed control's background colours? I changed the form's background and now want to change the tabbed control's colour to contrast a bit better (gun ship gray isn't always the most flattering).

Thanks!

Place a rectangle in each tab and set the backcolor property to what you want. Then Format-Send To Back.

Good luck

Hi Dan.

Thanks! Worked great. Just a couple of questions/comments though.

- On page1 I drew the rectangle and set the back colour.
Worked great except that this rectangle/colour is the same
for all pages. (Not a problem since I wanted them to be
the same anyway.) What is the secret if I wanted each page
to be a different colour? (Or is this not possible?)
- What does the "Send to back" command do? I set it up as
you instructed, but it only made the rectangle disappear.

Again, many thanks!

BTW....You deserve a star but being new here (and quite ignorant I must confess) I have no idea how to award one to you.
