I added a TabControl with 4 tabs. I need to have the TabControl not the TabPages change the background colour from the default.
So that it looks like the pages are floating on their own.
There is no property in design time and it wont change in code.

In VB6 it was easily done. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
 
Try This...

I'm at work right now and not in front of VB.NET...

Try using the VS properties window for the tab control itself and set the background property to --> Web ( tab ) > Transparent

Hope that worx...
 
sorry...

well, it would seem ( now that I'm back home at vb.net ) that there is no back color property of the controltab object...

my bad...
 
Probably not. If they've hidden it from the property browser I expect it's for a reason. You could always try setting it from code, and see if it has any effect.
 
It's probably a limitation of the win32 tabbed dialog. I've never seen it used in this way before.
