Hi all,

I have spent the last two days looking for a solution, which makes the
Tabpage of an Tabcontrol in VB.NET paint properly with the XP
style/manifest.

The best I've found is this: 
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/themedtabpage.asp

Which seems to be a solution, but it is in C#, which I don't know how
to use.

I would need a solution in VB.NET, perhaps you know how to use the C#
example above in VB.NET?

Thanks

Michael

Facists at Google won't let me answer.  Guess I'm not a researcher or
something.  Anyway, it's simple.  See:

Here's an example file:  Name this myfile.exe.manifest, place it in
the directory where the VB exe file lives, and run it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
manifestVersion="1.0">
	<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86"
name="SomeName" type="win32"/>
	<description>Project 31 MindShare</description>
	<dependency>
		<dependentAssembly>
			<assemblyIdentity type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"/>
		</dependentAssembly>
	</dependency>
</assembly>

I think you missed the point... did you even look at the link I gave
you?

Well, I know how to use the manifest files, the problem is that the
manifest files DO NOT change the appearance of the Tabpage, the
tabcontrol although is fine.

Try to press "Ctrl+alt+del" in windows XP, and you will see what I
mean. The tabs are using the gradients, but the content background is
just gray.
