Tab Control/ smaller Tab Page?

[oliverg]

Hello,

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a tab page, on a tab control, with a smaller area than other tab pages on the tab control.

For example, if the small tab was in focus, the contents of the tab behind would be visible.

I have tried the tab page size properties, this doesn't work.

Cheers

I don't think it's possible with the windows control, you may have to look at 3rd party.

Has anyone had any luck adapting the winforms tab control?

Say like, inheriting the tab control and manipulating the drawing procedures?

vb.net make a tab control transparent - .NET - Programming

All i did was search google for "vb.net transparent tabcontrol"

There's quite a lot of links to overriding the windows control, or links to third party controls.

You'd have to resize the tab control itself when that page is selected, then resize it back to normal when any other page is selected.

There's the SelectedIndexChanged event you can use to know when it's changing, then use the SelectedTab property to know which one currently has focus
