Is it possible to switch focus between tabs with code in a Pivot control in a c# uwp app? I tried using Pivot.SelectedIndex = 1; but that does not do the trick. Is it not possible or am I just doing it wrong?

    This was never an "XP look" but a Common Controls 6.x uxTheme. In any case, this problem seems to occur with either the whole-cloth-private MSCOMCTL.OCX or the CC6-wrapping COMCTL32.OCX ToolBar controls. I doubt there is a way around it that doesn't involve a 3rd party OCX, though I would love to be proven wrong. – Bob77 Jan 11 '16 at 04:23

    Sorry, I haven't looked. This has not been an issue for me though I have seen other struggle with it before and never found an answer myself working with the Microsoft OCX. – Bob77 Jan 12 '16 at 02:38

I meant to post this as a comment but I don't have enough reputation to do so so you have my apologies, I know you probably wont want to do this but if you want you could make your own controls so that way they don't have the background like a toolbar and even if it does have a background you could change the background color, hope this helps.

  • I found some sample program that allows that http://www.vbforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=44348&d=1137107059 but still, there must be a different way to accomplish this, sometimes it seems so complicated and when you see how simple it actually is you think why didn't I think of that? –  Jan 13 '16 at 00:26
