How would I go about to change the full background color of a tabcontrol (ownerdrawfixed / flatbutton appearance)? Not just the top part, but the whole background? I'm using C# WinForms.
Font fntTab;
Brush bshBack;
Brush bshFore;
if (e.Index == this.tabControl1.SelectedIndex)
{
fntTab = new Font(e.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
bshBack = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(e.Bounds, SystemColors.ScrollBar, SystemColors.ScrollBar, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.BackwardDiagonal);
bshFore = Brushes.Black;
//bshBack = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(e.Bounds, Color.LightSkyBlue , Color.LightGreen, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientMode.BackwardDiagonal);
//bshFore = Brushes.Blue;
}
else
{
fntTab = e.Font;
bshBack = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
bshFore = new SolidBrush(Color.Aqua);
//bshBack = new SolidBrush(Color.White);
//bshFore = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
}
string tabName = this.tabControl1.TabPages[e.Index].Text;
StringFormat sftTab = new StringFormat();
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(bshBack, e.Bounds);
Rectangle recTab = e.Bounds;
recTab = new Rectangle(recTab.X, recTab.Y + 4, recTab.Width, recTab.Height - 4);
e.Graphics.DrawString(tabName, fntTab, bshFore, recTab, sftTab);
