title: vb6 changing colors of SSTab at runtime using label in the background
body: <p>I am trying to update an old VB6 application.  I am struggling with changing the backcolor of the SSTab control at runtime.</p>
  
  <p>I know that I cannot just set the Backcolor to the required colour.</p>
  
  <p>At designtime I have created a label on each tab and then resized the label to the sstab dimensions.  Then I set the label backcolor.  This works fine.</p>
  
  <p>However, what I really want to do is to do this at runtime so that if a new tab control is added on a form in the future I dont need to manually do this at designtime each time.</p>
  
  <p>I would be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction to create and display a label on every tab of a SSTab control at runtime?  </p>
  
  <p>I dont have frames on all the tabs so I dont want to use the frame container to hold the label.  I would rather just have the label placed on the tab container at runtime.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks and I look forward to your replies.</p>
