tabcontrol background color

[matt]

Hi, i'm trying to change the color of the background of a tabcontrol. i put
images on the buttons and changed the background of each tabpage, and set
the background color or the main tab, but it didn't seem to change this
area. Its the area to the right of the last tab to the right edge of the
entire tab control.

how can i change this?

thanks!

Good resource, however it changes the color of the tabs, not the area to the
right of the tabs. here's a crude drawing:

TAB1 | TAB2 | TAB3 | empty area.............
--------------------------------------------


Main tab area



--------------------------------------------


See i put images over "TAB1" ... "TAB3" so they look good, i changed the
color of the main tab area for each tab, its the "empty area", which is
still part of the tabcontrol, that i can't seem to manipulate
