background color tabcontrol?

[Renie]

I have a tabcontrol-object with only two tabs, meaning
that there is a grey space to the left of the headings of
the tab-pages (where there is room for more tabs ... if
you know what I mean) De background-color of the form is
however green. You guessed it! They want the grey space to
be green as well! So is there a background-color-property
to the tab-control object? Anyone?

No, but you can use a bitmap to color a tab (or at least most of it).

I have also built fake tab controls with an assortment of rectangle and
label (for the click event) controls. Doing that takes significantly more
time, but it does give you ultimate control of the objects.

Very creative thinking!
I just cant get the bmp "on top",
in design-mode it looks great, but when running
the form, the bmp dissappears behind the tabcontrol.
Any suggestions?
