Tab Apperance

[funderburgh]

I can't figure out how to create the "Northwind" style tabs - ones that look like file folder tabs, have cool colors and an image. I have read many posts here and my miserable manual, but I am at a loss.

I want something like a hot pink tab with George Wilkinson's picture on it.

I'm grateful for any tips.

I'm pretty sure they probably put a textbox or an image control over the top part of the tab. That's how I always did it...

Don't know if you ever found an answer or not ...

But here is one way to custom build it for free. The way I understand it is only drawback is for each layer requires a redraw so you might see a flicker of sorts. This could probably be reduced by not using images as I have demonstrated.

Of course, this was in '07 (saved backwards) because (the way I understand it) using the older tricks won't work.
