Thanks for the response Victor.
Yes, the tabstrip has a css property, but I don't know what it affects and
can't find any docs on it.
What I need to set are the various tab and separator styles which can be set
in the html using standard style syntax.
Each is an attribute (TabDefaultStyle, TabSelectedStyle, TabHoverStyle,
SepDefaultStyle) and are of type Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.CssCollection.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/webcontrols/overview/tabstrip.asp
To set via code one must build the attribute with the usual
collection.Add(key,value) syntax.
I have tried various arrangements in a css file, but nothing I tried worked.
Some of my trials include:
mytabstyle.TabDefaultStyle
{
background-image:url(../images/myimage.gif);
}
TabDefaultStyle mytabstyle
{
background-image:url(../images/myimage.gif);
}
..mytabstyle TabDefaultStyle
{
background-image:url(../images/myimage.gif);
}
It would be easier to extract the styles from an xml file, but by using a
css file, I can use the stylebuilder.
If you have any other suggestions, I am open.
