tabhost tab image

[Rusty]

I would like to change a tabhost tab image programatically. I've tried

Dim BG As Bitmap
bg.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "Done.png")
tabhost1.CurrentTab = 1
tabhost1.SetBackgroundImage(bg)

this changes the whole tabhost background. Any suggestions. I would like to do this to be able to change the tab image based upon completion of tasks within each tab.
Thanks,

Instead of using AddTab you should use AddTab2 and add a panel.
You can load the layout file to this panel.
Later you will be able to change the panels backgrounds.

Tab image change

Thanks, Erel.
I was able to add the image to the tab "form", but I want to add/change the "icon" or image within the actual tab itself, not the body of the tab "form". Any suggestions. (for example, in your tabhost1 example you show a microphone within the tab, I'd like to be able to dynamically change this image) Thanks

The tab icon cannot be changed dynamically.

Hi Erel I use AddTab2 with panel inside, now how can change tabHost background color ? It's orange ... I tried with this code:

TabHost1.AddTabWithIcon2("", bmp3, bmp4, Panel1)
TabHost1.AddTabWithIcon2("", bmp5, bmp6, Panel1)
TabHost1.Color = Colors.RGB(0,153,204)

become blue on board and orange inside !!!

tnx

Have you tried changing the panel background color?

Have you tried changing the panel background color?

In designer or in code ... in designer same effect (don't change color) !

tnx

Do you want to change the tab indicators colors? In that case you should use TabHostExtra library.
