[SOLVED] Why Tab event DrawTab is not firing?

[Awesome Programmer]

I don't understand why tab event drawtab is not firing? I put a break on it, but it won't break at the breakpoint.

I am using Lazarus 1.0.12 and fpc 2.6.2 on Linux OS.

If you are referring to the OnDrawTab event of TTabControl then I don't think it is ever called. It is a placeholder for owner-draw capability that has not been implemented AFAIK.
The Lazarus TPageControl lacks owner-draw functionality as well.

Is there any workaround for this? maybe other using some other tools?

You could try the customdrawn package which is distributed with Lazarus (but not installed in the IDE by default because it is under development), which is completely custom drawn. Its TCDPageControl offers 3 events (OnChange, OnChanging, OnUserAddedPage).
Alex22 has also written an anti-aliased custom-drawn pagecontrol, see

Anyway, what are you actually wanting to do? It may be possible with the Lazarus TPageControl.

Thank you Howard, but I found something else. Its is called ATTAbs component. It works on Windows and Linux Lazarus.
