How to remove padding from a tab control?

[FancyPrairie]

I have a transparent tab control containing several controls. It appears that the tab control has a padding (or margin) set so to 75. I would like to set it to 0. How do I do that?

I do not think you can. But how are you using it, so that the border matters? Maybe there is another workaround besides trying to change the pad.

I am guessing here. But if you are trying to color the tab pages with a colored label behind the page, this will take a label located anywhere on the form and size it perfect behind the tab control.

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim i As Integer
  Dim lblWidth As Long
  Dim tempLeft As Long
  
  'Need a lblHilite on the form somewhere
  Me.tbCtrl1.Style = 0
  Me.tbCtrl1.BackStyle = 0
  
  'Format lblhilite
  With Me.lblHilite
    .Width = Me.tbCtrl1.Width
    .Height = Me.tbCtrl1.Height
    .Top = Me.tbCtrl1.Top + 15
    .Left = Me.tbCtrl1.Left
    .Caption = ""
    .BackColor = vbRed
  End With
  End Sub

when the page changes just change the color of the label.
