Re-Designing Tab Control Question Help Please

[vbMarkO]

Hello,

 

Ok, to clarify, I am not wanting to build a new Tab control well, not exactly anyway

 

What I would like to do is change the present tab controls Look... I think its ugly.

 

So, hince my question.... as a Graphic artist I would like to re design its appearance to something with a little more style for my app. Question is, how would I then either make my design graphic become a new control that inherits all the functionality of the tab control or modify the present one with my new appearance???

 

Any thoughts?

Interesting yes, but not what I am wanting.

 

All this does is change the color of an already styless Tab COntrol.

 

 

I have seen across the net various tab controls of which do not look like this standard Tab Control.

 

My hopes was I could design my own or modify this one that it would have a better look to it.

 

Instead of the Rectangle Tab Perhaps one with a little Style to it.

I believe that the code samples linked to give you exactly that functionality. Take a closer look.
