[DUG] Tabcontrol

[Stacey Verner]

I tried DevExpress page control and didn't find it very useful. We
needed extra properties like fonts per page, and proper enable/disable.

We ended up developing our own. Was pretty easy. The Page Control and
the Pages were inherited from TCustom Panel.

TPageControl also works well if you don't want to arbirtarily hide or
disable tabs.
You get the mouse over stuff if you have XP themes enabled for the
application (we use a Manifest file at least).
I'm not sure what you mean by "expand to the text size". TPageControl
tabs will resize depending on the tab caption.

DevExpress has good tab controls, if you don't mind spending money. TMS
also.

Modest request, where can I find a tabcontrol component like the one
Textpad uses, tabs expand to the text size, and has a little hot
tracking highlight on mouseover.  Or should I be trying to write
something like that myself?  I am not that flash at component writing
really, but I am picking it up ie but I can follow code once I am shown
:) Thanks _______________________________________________
