.Net CF TabControl Color

[y2k]

Does anyone know how to change the tab backcolor? As is now, you can
change the tab pages to any color you want, but the tabs themselves
are still ugly gray. I've searched high and low and have found one
commercial control, but it's more then I want to pay.

Any ideas on how to do this using subclassing or p/invoke?

Thanks.

The native Win32 Tab Control doesn't support overriding the colours. You can
change the entire system theme colors on Windows CE which should work. As I
remember there is a class in the Smart Device Framework (www.opennetcf.com)
which allows you to do this. I don't think this is possible with Windows
Mobile since most of the colours are hard-coded to white/grey etc.
