Comments

The BackgroundImage property defines the background image.

The background image does not support transparent or semi-transparent images. There is no default background image.

If the BackgroundImage property defines an image, it is displayed as the tab control's background inside the border of the tab control (including the tabs and client area). If the background bitmap is too small to fill the entire area, it is tiled.

If the tab control uses Windows themes, the BackgroundImage property has no effect.

If the background image should extend into the tab pages, the SftTabsPanel control must be used. If the Panel control is used instead, background images and TabClass.ClientAreaColor settings cannot be honored.

If the TabClass.BackColor and BackColorSelected properties define a tab background color, they override the background bitmap and the tab uses the specified background color instead.

If the TabClass.ClientAreaColor property defines a client area color, it overrides the background bitmap and the client area uses the specified background color instead.

Sample background images can be found in the product directory \Program Files\Softelvdm\SftTabs NET 6.0\Images.
