TPageControl, TNotebook, TTabbedNotebook 資料整理

• PageControl 如果要做到像 TNotebook 這般的頁面隱藏

我們可以這樣做：

for i := 0 to PageControl1.PageCount - 1 do
    PageControl1.Pages[i].TabVisible := False;//隱藏

參考來源
要注意的是此時的

PageControl1.ActivePageIndex = -1

所以一旦做完隱藏工作後，就要將 ActivePageIndex 指定好頁面位置

有趣的是，第一張 TabSheet 的 PageIndex 在被隱藏之後會變成「1」

也就是說 ActivePageIndex 要設定 1 ，TabSheet1才會顯示，不然就變成空白了

How to Add Controls to TTabbedNotebook and TNotebook
這篇文章指出有很多人在尋問這類的問題，所以他整理起來，並且也實作了程式碼，底下就是這篇文章的內容，有興趣的人可以從上述的連結進入原址觀看。

I have seen the question "how do you add controls to TTabbedNotebook or TNotebook at run-time?" several times here and elsewhere. Well, after finally getting a few spare minutes to check into it, I have stumbled across the solution:

TTabbedNotebook

Adding controls to a TTabbedNotebook during design time is a pretty simple task. All you need to do is set the PageIndex or ActivePage property to the page you want to add controls to, and begin dropping the controls onto the TTabbedNotebook.

Adding controls to a TTabbedNotebook during run-time is also very simple. However, there is no mention what-so-ever in the Delphi documentation on how to do this. To make matters worse, the TTabbedNotebook source code is not included when you purchase the Delphi VCL source. Thus, we are left with a mystery. Fortunately, I have stumbled across the solution.

The first step to solving this mystery was to take a look at \DELPHI\DOC\TABNOTBK.INT, the interface section of the TABNOTBK.PAS unit where TTabbedNotebook is defined. A quick examination will reveal the TTabPage class, which is described as holding the controls for a given page of the TTabbedNotebook.

The second clue to solving this case comes from observation that the Pages property of TTabbedNotebook has a type of TStrings. It just so happens that Delphi's TStrings and TStringList classes provide both Strings and Objects property pairs. In other words, for every string in TStrings, there is a corresponding Objects pointer. In many cases, this extra pointer is ignored, but if you're like me, you're thinking "Ah-hah!"

After a quick little test in code, sure enough, the Objects property points to a TTabPage instance -- the one that corresponds to the page name in the Strings property. Bingo! Just what we were looking for. Now see what we can do:

---

{ This procedure adds places a button at a random location on the }
{ current page of the given TTabbedNotebook. }
 
procedure AddButton(tabNotebook : TTabbedNotebook);
var
  tabpage : TTabPage;
  button : TButton;
begin
  with tabNotebook do
  tabpage := TTabPage(Pages.Objects[PageIndex]);
  button := TButton.Create(tabpage);
  try
  with button do begin
  Parent := tabpage;
  Left := Random(tabpage.ClientWidth - Width);
  Top := Random(tabpage.ClientHeight - Height);
  end;
  except
  button.Free;
  end;
end;

---

TNotebook

The process of adding controls to a TNotebook is almost exactly the same as that for TTabbedNotebook -- only the page class type is TPage instead of TTabPage. However, if you look in DELPHI\DOC\EXTCTRLS.INT for the type declaration for TPage, you won't find it. For some reason, Borland did not include the TPage definition in the DOC files that shipped with Delphi. The TPage declaration *IS* in the EXTCTRLS.PAS unit that you get when you order the VCL source, right where it should be in the interface section of the unit. Here's the TPage information they left out:

---

TPage = class(TCustomControl)
  private
  procedure WMNCHitTest(var Message: TWMNCHitTest); message WM_NCHITTEST;
  protected
  procedure ReadState(Reader: TReader); override;
  procedure Paint; override;
  public
  constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
  published
  property Caption;
  property Height stored False;
  property TabOrder stored False;
  property Visible stored False;
  property Width stored False;
  end;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, to make the above procedure work for adding a button to a TNotebook, all we have to do is replace "TTabbedNotebook" with "TNotebook" and "TTabPage" with "TPage", as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{ This procedure adds places a button at a random location on the }
{ current page of the given TNotebook. }
 
procedure AddButton(Notebook1 : TNotebook);
var
  page : TPage;
  button : TButton;
begin
  with Notebook1 do
  page := TPage(Pages.Objects[PageIndex]);
  button := TButton.Create(page);
  try
  with button do begin
  Parent := page;
  Left := Random(page.ClientWidth - Width);
  Top := Random(page.ClientHeight - Height);
  end;
  except
  button.Free;
  end;
end;

一起奮戰下去吧！
