To define or maintain a sheet control skin

  1. Perform the actions that you require to define a Sheet control skin or change an existing skin.

    For details about the areas of the Controls sheet that are common to all control types, see "Using the Controls Sheet".

  2. If you want to set the skin used to draw the tab of a folder for a sheet, select the appropriate button image in the Image for Button Tab combo box. If you set a tab button for the sheet, any skin button setting of the folder is ignored.

The main use of defining a button skin for a sheet is to enable each tab of a folder to be drawn with different images and colors. To achieve this, define several sheet skins with different categories and then set the appropriate category on the sheets that you want to use each specific sheet skin.
