Hi Jeremy
Yeah we already do some of the stuff you are talking about. However our
actual issue is with the standard button showing a different background
colour to the flat button mode. in themed mode. In vista and probably
XP if your style is right, changing modes (flat v normal) produces a
different background colour. Normal (default) uses the themed colour
whereas flat uses clbtnFace or something similar.

Hi,
OK I haven't really been following this thread but...
How about:
TTabControl and set TabVisible on the pagecontrol pages to False. Set
the style of the pagecontrol to Buttons (or FlatButtons) - which
reduces the border.
or
TTabSet and parent your "pages" on a Panel when the Tab has been
changed. (So basically don't have a pagecontrol at all). Encapsulate
the page functionality into a frame and reparent the frame.
The attachment uses the second technique although the listview is the
TTabSet in this instance. Each "page" descends from a BaseFrame that
has virtual methods that are called when changing to a page. I don't
have the source with me but some of the methods are:
LoadOptions // retrieve the options from storage
SaveOptions // save options to storage
ActiveControl // returns a control to set as the active control for
when the tab gets changed to.
This has the advantage of being less resource intensive as well
because not all pages are generally loaded at once by the user.
I also have a custom TPageControl that removes the "border" but don't
have the code here either. Email me directly if you'd like it. You
only need to override one method of the TPageControl.
HTH,
cheers,
Jeremy

Hi
No you cant. You get a nice white border around your grey (btnFace)
panel.
