I have a TabControl with a lot of tabs in it.  Since it is sometimes
difficult to tell which tab is currently active (all the pages have
the same layout) I want to be able to highlight which tab is currently
active.

My first thought was to change the page's background colour, but that
just changed the background of the page body, not the background of
the page tab at the top.  The same happened when I changed the page
font to bold, it affected the body of the page, but not the tab at the
top.

Then I switched to the TabControl itself.  Setting text to bold
affected all the page tabs, not just the current one.  I couldn't see
a way to switch the background colout, but I suspect that would have
the same effect.

I have resorted to just changing the text: "Page 20"  <-> "*Page 20*"
which is a bit clunky and not really satisfying.  Is there a better
way to highlight the active tab page label in a TabControl?

Thanks,
