TabControlArray.DrawItem Event

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6
Assembly:
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll

Occurs when the TabControl needs to paint each of its tabs if the DrawMode property is set to OwnerDrawFixed.

public:
 event System::Windows::Forms::DrawItemEventHandler ^ DrawItem;
public event System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventHandler DrawItem;
member this.DrawItem : System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventHandler 
Public Custom Event DrawItem As DrawItemEventHandler 
Public Event DrawItem As DrawItemEventHandler

Event Type

DrawItemEventHandler

Remarks

When you set the DrawMode property to OwnerDrawFixed, the TabControl raises the DrawItem event whenever it needs to paint one of its tabs. To customize the appearance of the tabs, provide your own painting code in a handler for the DrawItem event.

The TabControl does not support variable tab sizes with owner drawing.

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.
