Hi

Is it possible to set the tab position of the Lazarus editor tabs? For example, I would like to move the tabs to the right, instead of the top.

Regards,

Then you need to fix winxp version of for win32 under XP cannot handle tabs on right or on left. Even on bottom they are looking bad. I think it is windows limitation but anyway it must be fixed somehow.

Or we need another control for tabs as delphi or visual studio have.

Ah, ok.

A custom written component. This sounds best, to me at least. :-)

There is no official way, but you can fetch the source editor window, search the tnotebook and set the property.

Thank you, I'll give it a try.

BTW:
I really like the combined "Environment | Options" dialog now. Much better design!

This would solve the problem of a real tab component in carbon also.

The design is better but now there is less space available for the contents. From my point it was a step into the wrong direction.

Orpheus includes the TOvcNotebook control. I ported it 3 years ago but did not include it in the Orpheus package for Laz since I did not think there was a use for it, what with TPageControl. Also, it didn't work. I brushed it off today and find that it's now basically functional on win32 and carbon - shows how much the LCL and widgetsets have advanced since then.

If there's interest, I can add TOvcNotebook to the Orpheus package and commit it to CCR SVN. You can then take a look at it to see if it meets your needs. Tabs work on all 4 sides, by the way.

Thanks.

Hi Phil,

Did you ever update the Orpheus package? I'm still interested in the TOvcNotebook component. Hopefully it can be a replacement or starting point for the crappy TPageControl of GTK (and even more so for Windows).

Is it totally custom draw?
