Hi Edwin,

Thank you for posting your query to us.

I am able to see the 3D border effect when Ribbon Form is used as child form. Is that the issue you are talking about?

I have attached here a sample that uses TabbedMDIManager with RibbonControlAdv. Please look into this and try reproducing it in the below sample so that we could sort out the cause of the issue and provide you a solution?

Hi Edwin,

I am able to see 3D border effect when HotTrack property set to true. Could you please try setting the same to false and let me know if you still facing this issue?

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Edwin,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

3D Border Effect
----------------

I have faced following behavior in your sample.

1) Gray line with TabbedMDIManager but not the other 3D borders you specified.
2) Not faced HotBorder effect on tabs as you shown in your video file.

Please have a look on the below video file.

//For formEdwin
f.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

code makes no difference

i think it has something to do with an other issue. See feedback from golda below.

Hi Edwin,

Currently the TabControlAdv supports only the default blue theme for Office 2007 visual style. However I will log a feature request in this regard so that support for silver and black color themes in Office 2007 visual style would be available in future versions.

Best regards,
Golda

MOUSE

Hi Edwin,

Silver and Black color themes for Office2007Style TabcontrolAdv
----------------------------------

We have already logged it as a feature request and notified our development team. We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases. We usually have a timeframe of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors like product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented.

Strange Mouse behavior with TabbedMDI
--------------------------------------

On further analysis of this issue shows that it was the default behavior of tabs.

Please compile the modified sample and follow the steps below.

1) Run the attached sample.
2) You could see 'Tab2' and 'TabPageAdv3' are focused.
3) Now change the focus from 'Tab2' to 'Tab1'.
4) In 'Tab1', 'TabPageAdv1' is focused. Change this focus to 'TabPageAdv2' .
5) Now select 'Tab2', 'TabPageAdv3' was already focused.

So it is concluded that it was default behavior of the tabs.

Kindly let me know if you have any other queries.

Thanks for your patience.
