[DUG] BringToFront at Design time

[Ross Levis]

I found a crude way to hide the tab buttons by setting the Top property of
the PageControl to -30 so it's off the top of the form.

 

But I would prefer a more robust way of doing it.  Perhaps there is a
Windows flag I can set at creation to hide the tab buttons?

I thought of that too but when I looked for a property to make the tabs
invisible, I couldn't find one.  I'm using D7.  I'm probably missing
something obvious.  Can you please enlighten me.

 

Thanks,

Ross.

Nope.

 

You can keep the page control (or use the windows 3.1 notebook control) .
Just make the tabs invisible (it is a property), and then use whatever
control you like to select the page to display. Then it works at design and
runtime.

A PageControl I've been using to set configuration settings has too many
tabs on it now.  I've decided to change to a list of buttons down the left
side and a series of TPanels on the right occupying the same space.
Clicking a button sets one panel to Visible and the previous one invisible.

 

This works well at run time but not in the IDE.  I would like the same to
occur at design time so I can access each panel easily like I could clicking
a tab in a PageControl.

 

Is this possible?  I tried using BringToFront in the code but that didn't
help.

 

Thanks,

Ross.
