Tab backgroundfill in ToolWindow - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 18 years ago by Ernesto Serrano - Software Developer, VyS Yecla S.L.

Hello, is possible to change the TabHeader BackgroundColor in ToolWindows? I want to show various TabbedMDIDocuments with different colour in his tabs to make they different.

I've found the TabStripTabUnselectedBackgroundFill and TabStripTabBackgroundFill properties, but I want to differentiate various tabs, not only between selected/unselected, i see this behavior in SmartFTP v2.0 that allows the user to define different colours for each tab.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi Ernesto,

Good suggestion... That feature isn't available in the dock controls yet, so I've added it to the TODO list. It is available for standalone TabStrips via the TabStripPage.TabUnselectedBackgroundFill, etc. properties.
