That's what I though initially, but it is wrong. In Delphi this control allows other controls to be placed on it, so it effectively has 1 sheet. Changing the tabs triggers OnTabChange but doesn't change the visible sheet (since there is only 1 anyway) > PageControl - is a component that has the "tabs" part and an associated > "page / panel" for each tab. correct. > NoteBook - I have no idea what is the difference between this and > the PageControl.

That's how it was implemented before I fixed it. The correct TNotebook has no tabs, only sheets without any border. It can be used, for example, to implement a "Assistent"-like screen without using multiple forms. Click on a button and change the visible sheet for the whole form. I also use it in apps where you click on a button and then part of the view changes to reflect which tool is selected. I use the new and correct TNotebook quite a lot actually =) -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
