How do you get the Tab Control's body to follow the the SF Theme system?



to SF Team: During class on Chapter 18, we kept getting an error on the designer after running the app:

a) Which control cased the error?

b) How did you refresh the screen to get the form back (I'm going through the material now and I can't get to bring back the form)?



Thanks!

That TabControl is not Themed. If you look in the docs it will give you a list of all of the controls (as does the training material in the APplicationThemes section) that have Theme support.




I know that, and that's why I'm asking if you could please add it to the theme list.



What we do is use the new ThemedLinkmenu control and a Panelmanager (we did this in the UI sample we created in class) and create a vertical page tab.


Actually, I'm almost finished with going through all the class docs and samples and have reviewed that option several times to split the pages. But Tab Controls seem to be more efficient and quicker to setup.

No.  This control will more than likely never be on the themed list as the standard .NET tab control has some inherant issues in order to do this.  At some point we will have a tab control, but may not happen for some time.
