SSTab background color setting

[jjwild]

I want the background color of an SSTab to be something other than the default.

I expected Backcolor to be the property to set, as in frames and forms. However, I cannot even see that changing the backcolor has any effect at all.

Is there a way to change the backcolor of an SSTab control?

Thanks

I assume you mean in VB and not in MS Office VBA (In the latter there is a way to mimic this).

In the case of VB - sorry but there is absolutly no way of doing this. The grid manufacter decided not to give this capability. You cannot even put a frame on it and change its' color because the border still shows.
You might want to consider using the TabStrip instead.

I have the same problem and I've created a particular
solution. I've put label over every tab and streched
over it. But not over tab selection part. That part is
default colored.
If you find complete solution notice me please.

Yes I meant in VB.

We might use a tab strip and then frames so we can have the background colors we want.

Thanks for the data.
