I am currently prototyping a simple GUI program where I ran into what I hope is a quick fix with Tab Control customization. My tabs are currently set to "Light Sky Blue" when they are active. I have two tab boxes, and one of them I would like to change to Blue Violet. When I enter the code for the color in the area for the tabs that I would like to change, nothing happens.
Note for Code: I am trying to change the File, Options and Help tabs. You will be able to see in my code that I tried to set the background to "BlueViolet".
Let me know if you need a picture.
Here is my code:
