How to dynamically create customized TabSheet runtime

I would like to create a TTabsheet which has to be create during run time. The TTabSheet has several components, but all of these components will be identical on every tab. Is it possible to create a "type" variable which will create these tabs every time?

Thanks

Solution

  • Yes. You could create inherited class from TTabSheet

    TCustomTabSheet = class(TTabSheet)
public
  constructor Create(AOwner : TComponent); override;
public
   FTestButton : TButton;
end;

constructor TCustomTabSheet.Create(AOwner : TComponent);
begin
  inherited Create(AOwner);
  FTestButton := TButton.Create(Self);
  FTestButton.Parent := Self;
  FTestButton.Left := 1;
  FTestButton.Top := 1;
  FTestButton.Width := 20;
  FTestButton.Heigth := 10;
  FTestButton.Caption := 'Cool button!';
  FTestButton.Name := 'TestButton';
end;

    You could also create a frame (TFrame) with your custom controls in design time and host it instances to all new tabs.
