Set Tab Control BackColor

[WilRel]

Hi again

I'm using Access 2003 and want to use a tab control on my Form. I've been looking around and can't seem to find a place/way to set the background color of the whole tab control. It looks flat and stay WHITE!

There must be a way!

I would appreciate the help again..

Thanks

The Back Color for Tabbed Controls, including the Tabs themselves, is determined by settings in Windows on your PC.

Here is the link to a tutorial showing how to work around this limitation by 'rolling your own' Tab Controls. It requires quite a bit of work, if I remember correctly, so you'll have to weigh whether or not your desired effect is worth the labor involved.

Good Luck with your project!

Hi Linq,

Thanks again, but I'm used to Win XP and working currently from a laptop with Windows VISTA.

I already forgot the place where I changed some of those settings, and to tell you the truth, I've been trying to search for it in the windows help file, but have give up.

Can you help me here.

Regards WR

Hi again. I've made a mistake again...

The laptop runs on Windows 7 and there are a lot of settings to look through cause I don't know what to search for.


please help.
