TabPage & TabControl BackColor

[Guest]

hi, all

it is a stupid question.

I add a TabPage control to TabControl Control,
then add TabControl to Panel
after that: add Panel to Form

Well, I want to Change the TabPage control and TabControl BackColor.

I set: tPage.BackColor = Color.Red;
tControl.BackColor = Color.Red;
But, it seems does not work.

Why?
how to do it? should I customer draw ?

My env: VS.NET 2003 for PocketPC 2003

Thanks

I don't believe it is supported. Not everything that inherits from control
( i.e. tabControl) supports all the methods from control. You probably need
to override the OnPaint and custom draw.

You can change the BackColor of a TabPage. Make sure you have the latest
Service Pack installed on the target.

For CF version see this:
