Colored Tabs for a Tabbed Form

[kopy]

I'm trying to use Stephen Lebans code to color a tab when its selected. His code is at:

http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm

When I apply it to my form I get the following Error message: Unable to Create DIBSection

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kopy

How are ya kopy . . .

In any code window [blue]Menu Bar - Tools - References[/blue]. Make sure the following [blue]references[/blue] are selected:
[ol][li][purple]Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library[/purple][/li]
[li][purple]Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3[/purple][/li][/ol]

There's alot of code here so the problem may be hard to pin down (that is if the references are intact and [blue]you installed any code proper[/blue]).

[blue]Your Thoughts? . . .[/blue]

See Ya! . . . . . .

TheAceMan1, thanks.

I updated my references, reloaded the code (in my ignorance I might have changed something), I made sure that my form had the same name as the example and then found out that another mistake I was not setting the tabs to fixed height and width. At this point no more error message, but as always onto the next issue.

At this point when I load the form that the tabbed form is on, the first tab is colored based on its Tag Property value but the other tabs do not become colored when selected and the color of the first tab remains unchanged.

Thanks again for getting me this far, Kopy

TheAceMan1,

Your reply makes sense, but the example that is furnished with the code doesn't have an Event Procedure for the Tab Control.

TheAceMan1,

Any ideas of how I should proceed? The demo form works fine and I've reviewed my form to make sure all of the properties and event procedures are the same.

Thanks, Kopy

Sorry for getting back so late!

I've never used this tab schema and have been perofrming searches for install info (there's none on the site, in the zip or the Db.

Perhaps someone who's successfully performed an install will drop by and advise. Util then I'll keep searching. [blue]It may be expeditious to goto the sight and send an email![/blue]

[blue]Wish I had better news . . .[/blue]

See Ya! . . . . . .
