Background image with tabs

I have created a form which has a background texture image. It has two tabbed
sections which have also been set with the same image. However, the strip
where the tab headers are remains a plain colour. Can this be changed?
 
Rich,

I don't think it can be changed.

An option to consider is to set the Style property of the Tab Control to
'None', and then use Toggle Buttons within an Option Group, suitably
coded, to simulate the functionality of the Tab headers.
 
Hi Steve,
If I remember correctly, each Page of the Tab control exposes a Picture
property for the Tab header. I think it only recognizes 16 color BMP files
so I am not sure if it will help the OP in this matter.

Hi Stephen,

I understood Rich to be referring to the grey strip along the top of the
tab control, if the tab headers don't extend all the way across the
width of the tab control. That's why I often use the toggle buttons
approach that I suggested in my earlier post. Is there another solution
for that?
 
Thanks for your help and comments guys.

Yes, it was the strip immediately to the right of the tabs I was referring
to and the property does not affect it at all. As I want to keep using the
tabs as they are, I have altered the background to match and it looks fine.

Thanks again!
 
Sorry Steve, I did not understand you and the OP were focussed on the "grey
strip". You are of course correct.
