Documentation Dead Link about TTabControl and TPageControl
« on: September 04, 2018, 04:37:35 am »
Hi, i m new to Pascal but catching up fast.

I have come across TTabControl and TPageControl i dearly wanted to use. however, there is a dead link on their documentation on sourceforge. is there an alternate link i can visit? or anyone has an extensive documentation on how it can be used?

The whole lcl folder is not accessible.
Already reported on devel malinglist.
It's been worked on.

Thanks for the quick response guys,

I have asked questions i Embarcadero forum, since then, they snubbed me. no one is willing to answer my questions. Do they offer preferential treatment to the full members ad those who purchase their trial products?

You get the same information using the builtin help files by pressing F1 (or Ctrl-F1 if you prefer the "Classic" keyboard mapping schema). Unfortunately this does not work out of the form designer, but it works out of the code editor: Click the cursor into the word "TPageControl" (or "TTabControl", or whatever) of your code and press F1 (or Ctrl-F1) to open the provided chm help file (of course, you must have opted to install them when you installed lazarus).
