Hi,

@CharlyTango:

Is it possible to Title Horizontally or Vertically the Tabs like this ?

Thank you.

a tabbed UI works like any modern Internetbrowser.

What you do on the tabs depends on you, even if you glue multiple windows on a tab.
But what ist the purpose? If it should to choose a picture a TGrid or TDrawgrid would be a better solution.
They show the picture in a grid-form without the frames of a form/window

Hi,

@CharlyTango:

O.K. and you can magnify or minimize each Windows independently?

Thank you.

I assume so, even if your specifications seem to be no more than ideas and far from precise requirements in a program situation.

It's more like asking: can you create a wormhole with folded space? The answer would always be “yes”, but it wouldn't get you anywhere

Hi,

@CharlyTango:

So Tabs cannot replace MDI Forms.

Thank you.

IMO: They can 

But if you're cought in MDI thinking nothing will convince you.

I don't want to proselytize. With me, everyone has the right to transport themselves to their own personal hell, or what they think is heaven, in their own individual way. That is the burden of choice.
I claim the same right for myself.

Have fun

Hi
I thought of using a parent for the second window as a replacement for MDI - the first - the main form.
It doesn't even flash as much as with the classic MDI.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
2. begin
3.     NewTab := TTabSheet.Create(PageControl1);
4.     NewTab.PageControl := PageControl1;
5.     NewTab.Caption := 'New windows';
6.  
7.     Form2:=TForm2.Create(self);
8.     Form2.Parent :=form1;      //NewTab;
9.     Form2.BorderStyle:= bsSizeable;          //bsNone;
10.     Form2.Show;
11. end;        
12.
