Tab Control Forecolor chnages when hiding a tab

[Salty Mariner]

Here is a strange behavior....I have a tab control that changes the fore color when I hide a tab. It reverts to the Hover fore color (white) and even trying to set the forecolor in code back to a dark gray does not seem to help. I'm stumped I did a search on this and it is an issue that others have apparently encountered. No solutions that I have been able to find. Sounds like a bug in the tab control.

My workaround for now is to use black for a hover fore color and a light hover color. It works but doesn't match my other forms that use tab controls.

Any thoughts or workarounds?

I am not following. I have a tab control where I hide tabs and don't notice changes in color. Still using Access 2010.

Post your code or your db.

Is it just one Tab control or all of them?

June, here is the code. It's pretty innocuous and simple. Note, that it was doing this before I added the last 3 lines to the 2nd If statement. In a nutshell it's just "Me.Folder_Path.Visible = False".

Private Sub tabCrew_Change()
    If Me.TabCrew.Value = 6 Then Exit Sub
    
    If Me.Folder_Path.Visible = True Then
        Me.Folder_Path.Visible = False
        Me.lblMaintenance.ForeColor = RGB(166, 166, 166)
        Me.cmdEditFolderPath.BackColor = RGB(166, 166, 166)
        Me.cmdEditFolderPath.Enabled = False
    End If
End Sub

Hi Moke,

It's all of the tabs on one control, and I can't change them back in code either. I have not yet tried duplicating this behavior on other tab controls

It's weird because in searching this online I'm apparently not the only one who has seen this behavior. Unfortunately I have also not seen any solutions posted either.

I have a workaround for now so this is by no means a deal breaker. It's just odd, aggravating behavior.

I meant on other tab controls, not the individual pages of the control. I'd suggest re-building the control just to be sure.

I've solved this buggy behavior in the past by loading the required colors and other settings in the on_load event of the form. It has happened to me with controls that use the "theme" property, like buttons, the tab control and maybe other controls.
