Unselected tab color on custom tab sheet

Post by SeanTyree »

Is there a way to change the color of the unselected (background) tabs on a custom tab sheet?

For example: the Smooth style tabsheet has an off white selected tab with a light blue back bar and unselected tabs. Can the unselected tabs be changed to dark grey while the back bar remains light blue.

Thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean,

I sent you an email with a response to a similar question you asked in a phone call, and I thought it would be helpful to post that response here as well for others that might have this same question.

There is one simple way to change the color of the tabs in a tab panel. If you go through the tab panel style property, you should see a dropdown with a list of different styles for the tabs; if you change the background color property of your tab panel to your own color, you won’t lose this color either when selecting an option from the tab panel style property dropdown.

The other way to go about it is to follow the instructions here:

It looks like for the tab’s color, if you do not want to use images you would instead provide a value for defaultBackColor. You can also change the background of the area behind all the tabs by setting values for backBar and backBarColor.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
