Hi All,

I have a problem with the TabControl control in Visual Studio .NET 2003/.NET
Framework. Looking thru some old posts it seems that others have had this
problem before, and I can't seem to find a solution.

Basically, with XP theming, my application draws fine - with the exception
of the tabpage back which paints with the control color.

http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/themedtabpage.asp gives an example on
how to do this by calling UxTheme.dll functions to draw an inherited tab
page. Surely there is a way to fix this easily, or is this another "wait for
whidbey" issue?

Cheers.
 
Cheers. Works a treat Mick.

The main reason I didn't want to use the method I had found was because I
didn't want to distribute anything more baggage with my application than I
had to.

Your solutions works great!
