Hi,
When you set the EnableTabControlMode to true, the tabItemXX.ContentPanels appear, of which the BackColor can then be set. How do I create a gradient on that panel, preferably using the Visual Style/Theme Builder? The contentpanels do not show up in the Children/Control Structure.
If this is not possible, what would be the preferred way to create gradient tab-contentpages?
(I am using the current 2006Q4 versions)

Hi RP,
Actually the ContentPanel that appears in the tabstrip content area is a generic Windowsforms Panel control, and cannot be customized easily to display gradient background. That's why, by default, the content panel is transparent so it just displays the TabBase-gradient as a background. And you can customize the TabBase-fill element with the VSB application. If you need per-tabItem background customization, you can do it in the code-behind, handling the TabSelected event. You can access all the features of the gradient-fill primitive, like BackColor2, GradientStyle, etc, through the radTabStrip.TabElement.TabContent property. Hope you'll have fun customizing the control as you wish.
