Extended PageControl & Extended TabControl are enhanced components for Delphi and Borland C++Builder: Colored Tabs, Bitmaps, free Tab position, OwnerDraw mode and support for accelerator keys. They can be used with
Delphi 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and
C++Builder 1, 3, 4 and 5. Enhancements of ExtPageControl:
- You can change the color of active and inactive tabs
- Each tab can have a bitmap
- You can select different font for active and inactive tabs
- Give the TabSheets another background color
- Tabs can be placed on top, bottom, the left or right side of the component
- A button mode is available if tabs are placed on top. In button mode ExtPageControl becomes borderless. That can be usefully if you want to write wizard-like programs (set property TabVisible to false on all tabsheets).
- Define a different Hint for each tab
- Disabled TabSheets get a grayed tab-text (as everyone expects on a disabled control)
- ExtPageControl establishes OwnerDraw style and makes event OnDrawTab available. So you can draw the contents of the tabs yourself.
