help! How to adjust the tabwidth and tabheight of TPageControl?

[Neo2010]

hi, everyone!

In delphi, I can easily adjust the tabwidth and tabheight properties of TPageControl both on object inspector or through codes, but in Laz, these two properties have not been implemented yet.  

So does anybody have an idea how to adjust them in Laz. My project is heavily depend on TPageControl component, so its appearance is very important to me.

Many thanks and best regards!

It not only doesn't work on TpageControl but on TTabSet and TNoteBook, I tried to manually and progammaticaaly set the widyth on TTabset but it dowsn't work, also the tabstyle doen't work.

yeah, David, they have the same problem.

AFAIK, these components are all too ugly, eigher in Laz or in Delphi（TPageControl  in RaizeComponents is much more pretty）.

So, if you have to use these components(Unfortunatley, sometimes this is not avoidable), then the appearence of the whole ui will be in a totally mess. oops!

Does anybody has any idea how to improve them?

I've tested GradTabControl, looks like it is still under development, and as the author said, it could be very unstable.

so, maybe the only way out here is to write it from scratch, IMO. That's a lot of work!
