divide a Unit to several Units

[stefanE]

Hello everybody,
i wrote a application using TPageControll.
This works well. I have all event routines in the main unit, but now i would like to add some pages to the TPageControl and the amount of event-routines becomes to much. So it is difficult to navigate through the lines.
What is the easiest way to divide the unit, so that i have a unit per Page of the TPageControl component.

Thanks in advance

Hi
Use 'TFrame's and create them dynamically, NOT via Object Inspector.
It's ok to design them with OI, but don't instantiate them that way.
Search the forum, lots written about that.

I am attaching an example where I recently did the same that you are planning: Look at the sample project in folder components/tachart/demo/area of your Lazarus installation. It contains a page control with a chart demo on each tab sheet - it is very confusing because the code needed by each tab sheet is mixed together. In the new version which I am attaching, there is a TFrame per tabsheet. Each frame contains the components and their code for each tabsheet in a separate unit and is completely independent of the other frames. The frames are added to the tabsheets of the mainform at runtime.

Hi
That is so cool Werner, Thanks mate. I've got one project that shows it, but it's way too involved to be used as an example...

What do you want the zip attachment to demonstrate? Strange: an exe file, config.sys, no source code, ...

Hi
Werner he's trolling, with the objective to waste everyone's time.
Every post he makes is pure useless nonsense.

Although I disapprove of providing an upx packed win PE32 executable as well it does seem to have a purpose. It is the code that produces the animated gif. Not that I've tested it but I can read disassembly and make an educated guess based on the components used.

btw: hiren boot cd, now /that/ is a blast from the past

You can move procedures to .inc files.
