Question about forms
« on: August 17, 2017, 03:50:13 pm »
hi, I am writing a program, and I am filling the form up , I need more space to go on.
Is there a way to make a connection to another form, or any other solutions?

Use TPageControl to have more pages or use TSCrollBox to scroll a Panel inside the window.

or set the form's autoscroll property to true to allow for an extended surface.

No. the default pagecontrol widget only uses the underline OS's theme only.

There is a ''image'' option on the tab page , what will that do? how to use it?

there is no Image in my installation there is an ImageS property that is linked to a timagelist and I think it is used to provide icons for the tabs only.

If you do your own "PageControl" for example with TPanels then you can change whatever you want...
Paint on TPanel or use a TLabel for the upper left text... or use TButtons or TPanels as buttons...

If you want to program something for the future then it's probably a good idea to use BGRAControls. Then you can use nice looking Labels, Buttons or Panels... Or whatever with semitransparent pixels or draw yourself with BGRABitmap whatever you want... Nowadays people like to see nice animated things and nice semitransparent pixel stuff...

I think the best way for me is to use TPanels and thanks you all for helping!
