Hello,
In my application I have a TabControl with different chat rooms. If something happens in a chatroom that isn't shown in the active tabpage, I want to signal this to the user. This I want to do by flashing the tab. Is there any way that this can be done? I have been experimenting a while with different colors in the Tab's Appearance property, but nothing really seems to bite on the background color of the tab.
The most likely cause of the tab not picking up your new settings is that you have the UseOsThemes property set to True, or perhaps you're loading an ISL file and the ComponentRole of the UltraTabControl is set to ApplicationThenControl. As for performing the actual flashing, your best option here is to use a timer to control the cycling of the appearances.
