nice sir
thanks
and if i want to change the image of the tab button i mean. The image key to another image in the image list. When the user clicks the tab button the image should b changed to another image and if i tab is deselected then restore to orignal image.
I know that it should be done through events but the problem is i dont know the code how to set the image programmatically and which event will b fire for changing?
Can you help me sir

I can give you an idea.then try to do it.you can use mouseEnter and mouseLeave event to do this.when you mouse over on you tab you need to change the image source by code and when you leave mouse from there you need to set previous image.Below is a link where it is done in case of a button..i expect you can do it for a tab button...

Have another look at the link ridoy pasted earlier ... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4019888/how-do-you-add-a-image-to-a-tab-label
and combine that with some code in the SelectedIndexChanged event to change the ImageIndex of the selected tabpage

i think CHill60 is absolutely right.
