Re: Highlighting tabs in a TabControl

You could just use TabControlEX which is available from my downloads
section.
http://dotnetrix.co.uk/controls.html

This has the option to select TabColor and SelectedTabColor via the
properties in TabControlEX, or if these are left at default, the tabs are
drawn using their associated tabpages BackColor. (These are new properties
and I'm not sure I like the implementation, but I couldn't think of a better
way to achieve this common request).
