    It looks very good! Keep up the good work!
    Question: is there a way to display the tabs at the bottom?

  • admin

    Sorry but there is no way to display tabs at the bottom. Maybe I add it later.

    I belive you can mke it compile in Delphi 7 only thing I can think of that needs to be changed is to remove the inline statement since Delphi 7 is missing it.

    Very nice. Thanks Roy!

    Would it be possible to limit the maximum tab width to the width of the tab caption (and tab image, if that’s in use) ?

  • Giovanni Ferrari

    Trying to install rkSmartTabs under D7 but the compiler complains over

    property OnMouseEnter does not exists in base class !

    Any clue?

  • admin

    Hi Giovanni,

    Just remove the property it was introduced in a later Delphi version.

    Hi Simon,

    You mean to have different width on the tabs? For the moment it is not possible.

    Could your components be used in commercial applications?

    Whould be possible you add support to navigator and popup buttons on right of tabs? And not cut out the caption of tabs?

  • admin

    Hi Marcos,

    If I did that it would become a new component. Maybe I do it but not in a while. It could be a nice option.

    Crashes for me when instantiating a new control, on Delphi XE.  
    [422A1207]{Tee9150.bpl } Gdipapi.TGdiplusBase.NewInstance + $B[5003A753]{rtl150.bpl  } System.@ClassCreate (Line 12121, “System.pas” + 5) + $0[422B467A]{Tee9150.bpl } Gdipobj.TGPSolidBrush + $E[5025C352]{vcl150.bpl  } Graphics.ColorToRGB (Line 2229, “Graphics.pas” + 1) + $6[19542A45]{rkSmartTabs_dxe.bpl} rkSmartTabs.Blend (Line 187, “rkSmartTabs.pas” + 3) + $2

    Hi Warren,

    I belive this has todo with Delphi Xe having its own GDI plus units. You can try to download the XE version I just added. It was given to me by another XE user and should work. Basicly it just renames the GDI units. Hope this helps.
