Transparent tabcontrol background - mixed results

M

Michael

Hi there,

I use a number of forms that have colored backgrounds. Many of these forms
have transparent tabcontrols.

I've noticed that in most Windows environments the forms look as intended,
meaning the color of the form is clearly visible.

However, in some instances the part of the form that contains the tabcontrol
is white and the remainder of the form is as per the color nominated.

I've tested setting the windows desktop to classic and all forms are shown
correctly. However, I've also tested leaving the user's desktop and simply
removing the desktop picture and again the forms display correctly.

In short, I don't know what causes the forms to sometimes show the white
color where the tabcontrol is and sometimes not.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance.

Cheers
Michael

Access 2003 and 2007 have an option for Display Windows Themed controls.
Could that setting be the difference?
