Tabs with a twist – rkSmartTab

SmartTabs in use

SmartTabs in use

Here is a new component of mine, rkSmartTabs. Its a simple but easy to use tab bar component. It was made for my explorer application but I guess others might find it usefull too. I do not have a demo yet but you can download an early beta of my explorer to see and and get a feel for how it works. rkSmartTabs is rendered using GDI+ so you must make it available for Delphi. Hope you find it useful. Feedback is always welcome.

    Hello Roy!

    The screen looks good, but the demo fails with error.

    Hi Steve,

    Yeah the demo is a little unfinished if you want to see my current version contact me and I send it to you.

    I will try, if time, permit to make a short demo with source available.

    Really nice component.

    Do you plan on implementing Chrome-like animations when dragging and opening / closing tabs?

  • admin

    Hi Simon,

    Well I would like to, but animations are not my strong side. When I get time I will try to make something work but this is low priority.

    Hi Roy,
    Great job. Your components are great.
    2 things that I would suggest:
    - Please add in your GDI+ distribution a more updated JEDI.INC file (for example you can find it at jcl-2.1.1.3536). The reason is to avoid compilation errors on D2010.
    - Your VistaPanel component is under the tool palette Samples and all other components are under rmklever ;-)

    Thank you,

    Will correct it, maybe you could send me the correct jcl include file. I do not use JCL myself so I dont think I have that file.

    Regards
    Roy

    Hi,

    I have not made available any demos of the component yet. I hope getting something done this week. But it is very simple to work with. What are you looking for in a demo?

    Thank you for kind words.

    Is there a “TrkSmartView” component?
    The demo can't run on WinXP/2K.

  • admin

    Yes there is a TrkSmartView component which is basicly a rkView with group support. I have not yet made it available but might do so later.
