Font on Tab Controls

[TJBernard]

Is there anyway to enlarge, bold, or change the font of a standard MS Access tab control page headers. When I add the tab control to a form, it defaults the font at Tahoma Size 8. On the properties I could not find an option to change the font size, type and weight.

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thank you,

T.J.

TJ,

I think the trick is to select the entire control, not just a tab page in the control. When the whole control is selected the usual font name, font size, etc., properties are available.

HTH,
Jim

Hi,
If anyone cannot find out the way still, please try this.
Function ChangeControlProperties()
Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Forms("yourForm")
If ctl.ControlType = 123 Then
ctl.FontName = "Arial"
tl.FontSize = 9
End If
Next
End Function
Thanks!

i suspect it uses some system setting

I saw a very complex method to set coloured tabs - which involved managing small rectangles manually (I think). I expect the same solution applies to fonts, as to colours.

eg - Stephen lebans example in this thread

I set the fonts to Bold in all page tabs. All you need do is click to the right of the tabs, above the content border. You then have access to all the formatting controls.

Hi. Welcome to AWF!

Thanks for trying to help. Just FYI though, you are replying to a 9-year old thread.
