Topic: Page control tabs

Happy Easter to all.......


Is there any way to rename page control tabs by the end user?

Re: Page control tabs

Hi Adam,
Happy Easter to you too.
The simplest way (ergo, the best - LOL!) is probably to use a standalone table where the user simply edits the relevant value in an editable tablegrid and can immediately see the effect on the tabsheet captions.

Re: Page control tabs

Hello Derek, AD1408

I use this snippet ;

procedure Form1_Button1_OnClick (Sender: TObject; var Cancel: boolean);
begin
   Form1.PageControl1.Pages[0].Caption := 'New Name';
end;

The same way for others TabsSheets

Re: Page control tabs

Hi Derek & JB,


Thank you very much guys.........
Truly appreciated......


I guess currently, it's not possible to delete and add new tabsheets beside renaming them by the end user?

Re: Page control tabs

Hi,
Rather than delete them, you could hide tabsheets by adding a flag to the standalone table to indicate whether a tabsheet should be set to visible := false or not.
You could also show / hide them as part of role-based User Authorisations.
But I'm not sure why you'd want to add new ones - and even if you could, they would just be empty sheets so you'd then need to add fields, grids etc plus any processing logic - a complete non-starter I would have thought.

Re: Page control tabs

Thanks for the reply Derek...
Simpler solution is show/hide as you have pointed out.
Adding and deleting tabs will require to add/delete functional RTF or Memo fields at the least which is beyond me.
Once again thank you very much for your kind help and advice.
