Hey all -

I have a tab control on a form (Acc2002), but my boss says
that it is difficult to tell at a glance which tab is
selected. he wants the tab to change color (from the gray)
when it is selected. I believe that is not possible, nor
can I change the font color of just the selected tab.

He likes the button style better than the tab style
(because the selected button changes to a light gray), but
then the picture on the tab has a gray background around
it (it is a transparent, but apparently the tab control
doesn't tell the icon that it changed color).

Any ideas??? Thanks!

There is a TAB class on my site that allows the current page of the Tab
control to be assigned a seperate color.
http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm
Tabs.zip is an MDB containing a class to enhance the standard Access TAB
control in order to allow for:

1) Tabs of any color

2) Rotated Text

Notes:

You must set the Tab controls TAB Fixed Height and Width properties

You must set the Individual Tab pages TAG property to whatever color
value you desire.



History

Version 1.6

Added support to allow for the coloring of just the Current/Active TABS
and not the background of the Tab control
