Syntax

public class DrawTabEventArgs : EventArgs

Remarks

This class contains all the information needed for the user to paint the specified item. It provides the BackColor, ForeColor, Bounds (includes space for the border), BoundsInterior(does not include space for the borders), etc. It also provides access to the default drawing logic of the tabs using its DrawXXX methods.

In case you use the default drawing logic for drawing the borders, then you can use the BoundsInterior to get the rectangular area without the borders to draw your custom interior.
