Windows Forms

Is Windows Forms really the right forum for this question? the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

VB.NET doesn't support that but C#. You can change the color of a tab and its page color but you can't change the color of tab control in vb.net. I assumed you are not going to use API to do that. I wish there were such feature in VB.NET. What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

I have only used them from C#, but if you are doing managed C++ development they should work the same way. I have used them in VS2003 and VS2005 and both have worked great. ----------------------------- In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

This is exactly what WPF was designed to solve.

OK. Thank you. Alex

I think its good idea that codeproject has separately forums for each object. WhiteSky
