C # TabConTrol control background color

Everyone must have encountered such a problem. When creating a WinForm project, you need to beautify the forms and controls. However, if you use third-party controls, there is no free content, in this case, you need to beautify the built-in visual styles of VS. When beautifying the TabControl control, the problem arises:

 

The BackImage property of the control is not directly set, and the background of the main control cannot be set.

Below I will provide you with a simple method (I am not a professional artist, I do not have much beautification skills, the specific color collocation, I will do it myself! Haha)

Step 1:

Set the DrawMode attribute of the TabControl control (tclDemo is used as an example) to OwnerDrawFixed, which specifies that the title is drawn by the user.

 

Step 2: register the DrawItem event of the TabControl control:

 

Step 3:

 

 

Private void tclDemo_DrawItem (object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)

 

{

 

// Obtain the work area of the TabControl Master Control

 

Rectangle rec = tclDemo. ClientRectangle;

 

 

 

// Obtain the background image. The background image is in the project resource file.

 

Image backImage = Resources. Maple Leaf;

 

 

 

// Create a StringFormat object for setting the label text Layout

 

StringFormat StrFormat = new StringFormat ();

 

StrFormat. LineAlignment = StringAlignment. Center; // you can specify the vertical Center of the text.

 

StrFormat. Alignment = StringAlignment. Center; // you can specify the horizontal Center of the text.

 

// Tag background fill color, which can be an image

 

SolidBrush bru = new SolidBrush (Color. FromArgb (72,181,250 ));

 

SolidBrush bruFont = new SolidBrush (Color. FromArgb (217, 54, 26); // label font Color

 

Font font = new System. Drawing. Font ("", 12F); // set the label Font style

 

 

 

// Draw the background of the Main Control

 

E. Graphics. DrawImage (backImage, 0, 0, tclDemo. Width, tclDemo. Height );

 

// Draw the label Style

 

For (int I = 0; I <tclDemo. TabPages. Count; I ++)

 

{

 

// Obtain the work area of the label Header

 

Rectangle recChild = tclDemo. GetTabRect (I );

 

// Draw the background color of the label Header

 

E. Graphics. FillRectangle (bru, recChild );

 

// Draw the text of the label Header

 

E. Graphics. DrawString (tclDemo. TabPages [I]. Text, font, bruFont, recChild, StrFormat );

 

}

 

}

 

 

 

 

Let's see the effect!

 

I just want to show you how to set the style and color of the TabControl in a simple way. I will hand it over to the artist !!!
