To change the color of Tab control
Add this event handler
DrawModeproperty toOwnerDrawFixed.- Override the
DrawItemevent handler definition.
tabControl2.DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(OnDrawItem);
step 2

//Next we'll paint the TabItem with our Fill Brush

//Now draw the text.

//Finally, we should Dispose of our brushes.
