My thought was: if you use TNoteBook to create a wizzard and want to put some buttons always at the same position then it is useful. But in all other cases it looks stupid. I think, the guidelines should also be improved to not see components on different levels. For example a button in a groupbox need not align to a button on the form. Comments? Ideas?

That's a good thought - personally though I'd also like an editor option to just turn that feature off and make it not line up with things on other tabs at all... Just a wish list mind you!

Mattias, your Sylpheed sucks. ;-) It's not wrapping the text to a descent length, which isn't a problem for reading them, but when I reply it just goes off the edge of the window...

I know - you're gonna blame my sorry mail reader... LOL

LOL is one of those great "take it how you will" ones - various interpretations are: Loads of Laughter Laughing out loud Lots of love love and laughter lay off love! so, take your pick!

Just so we are clear, love did not come into it.

As I explained to Mattias in e-mail, Yes, I am a maniac (who can code for 16 hours a day without becoming one?) but that's unrelated to the topic at hand. ;-)

When you are designing controls on a TNotebook, the line-up lines in the designer that show when two controls are on the same line are displaying to match controls on other tab pages that currently can't be seen.

This might be by design, but it's certainly not what I'd expect.

You can turn guide lines off in the environenment options.

and make it not line up with things on other tabs at all... Just a wish list mind you!

I will probbaly change it, but I will wait for some more comments.

When you are designing controls on a TNotebook, the line-up lines in the designer that show when two controls are on the same line are displaying to match controls on other tab pages that currently can't be seen. This might be by design, but it's certainly not what I'd expect.
