DelphiVCL.PageControl is a set of pages used to make a multiple page dialog box.
We can use PageControl to create a multiple page dialog or tabbed notebook. PageControl displays multiple overlapping pages that are TabSheet objects (we will discuss TabSheet in another article).
The user selects a page by clicking the page’s tab that appears at the top of the control.
You can define an accelerator key to a page of the PageControl. To define the accelerator key use the Caption property of the TabSheet control.
We can browse all the properties, methods, and built-in properties of the DelphiVCL.PageControl using dir() command:
|
1 2 3 |
import DelphiVCL dir(DelphiVCL.PageControl) |
See the responses in command prompt:
Here is the working example of the implementation of DelphiVCL.PageControl:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
# Page control creation pgConMain = PageControl(pnlMain) pgConMain.Name = "MyPageControl" pgConMain.Parent = pnlMain pgConMain.Align = "alClient" |
We will add and discuss the TabSheet and how to show the tabs in our GUI in the next article.
