TcxCustomTabControl Class

Serves as the base class for tab controls.

Declaration

TcxCustomTabControl = class(
    TcxControl,
    IcxTabControl,
    IcxControlComponentState,
    IcxMouseTrackingCaller,
    IcxMouseTrackingCaller2,
    IdxSkinSupport
)

Remarks

Tab controls allow you to arrange controls across a number of pages. An end-user can switch between pages by clicking corresponding tabs. This allows you to create a multiple page dialog box. Tab controls provide a number of properties and events that allow you to control the look & feel of tabs and to respond to changes to the selected tab. In addition, tab controls provide eleven predefined painting styles.

The TcxCustomTabControl class implements all functionality mentioned above. It serves as the base for the TcxTabControl and TcxPageControl controls. The TcxPageControl manages a number of pages (container controls) that are displayed when the corresponding tab is selected. The TcxTabControl, in turn, provides a single page whose contents must be updated when the selected tab changes.
