How do I change the backcolor property tabcontrol? Not tabpage backcolor, or tab backcolor, just the tabcontrol in general.

I've tried different ways.

The tab control does not have as backcolor property but the tabpage does. What you might be looking for is to change the color of the tabpage "Tab", the part that you click to move to another tab. That can be modified by overridng the OnPaint method of the tabControl. There are some good examples in CP which demonstrate this technique. Search "Custom tabcontrol". My favorite:
