is there a Version of lazarus with "All components" already installed?
There was a discussion about it not long ago. The conclusion was Lazarus does not provide such a big installer because of shortage of manpower but that is possible if someone wants to volunteer to maintain it.
Luckily Lazarus has
Online Package Manager. It can l help you searching and installing third party components that are available for Lazarus. It will show you some short information about the package if your mouse is hovering on the item in the list.
Lazarus main menu >
Package >
Online Package ManagerCurrently, 185 repository packages are available. If you found any good open source component that can be installed into Lazarus but can't be found on OPM, you can report it. The maintainer will add it to the list.
is there any alternative to TPagecontrol?
TNotebook,
TPageControl,
TTabControl,
THeaderControl,
TExtendedNotebook. They are similar but have different feature set.
Using OPM, I found these:
- ATTabs (in
ATFlatControls)
- jvpagecomp (in
Jvcllaz)
- TabControls (in
pl Cindy)
