How to change Page control and combobox color ?
« on: January 10, 2023, 02:51:20 am »

I am trying to create a simple component but I'm not sure use class(TCustomControl) or  class(Tcombobox) :'(

I am afraid - not at all.
My workaround are small images. You may add them to the tabs.

Just grab some 16 x 16 icons, add them to an TImageList.
This ImageList you link to the TPageControl.
After this you can select your images from within the Tabsheets.

Is quite nice, I got used to it.

Or you use one of the components around, which allow it. - I did not like one of them and forgot their names.

As hinted by Joanna (by-product in one of the moderated IRC posts), it may be possible with "OwnerDrawn". However, no details have been posted on this.

Hi!

TPageControl is based on TWinControl.

TWinControl owns no Canvas.

So you have to add a Canvas.

How would you add a canvas to tpagecontrol?
Another option is using tcdpagecontrol in custom drawn controls package

Good morning, Joanna  :-*

You could try using a TControlCanvas
Create it, set the control and see what happens!

As for the TComboBox, that already allows you to owner draw it.
