THeaderControl, a header strip of user-designed sections which allow selection of pages or actions
THeaderControl offers a widget that could be placed along the edge of a Panel or Form, allowing a highly customised mechanism for selection. However, there are no intrinsically associated display areas, and it is the developer's responsibility to supply an index associated with the selection from the THeaderControl and determine what action is to occur or what is to be displayed in any attached Panel or Form.
THeaderControl is used by selecting its icon from the Common Controls tab of the IDE Component Palette, and placing it on the Form in the desired position. It may be convenient to dock it with a Form or Panel whose properties it is to be used for controlling.
After size, position, docking, alignment, anchoring etc have been performed using the Object Inspector or Form Designer, the Sections of the Header can be created by selecting the control, right-clicking with the mouse and choosing 'Section Editor'. A Stringlist editor will pop up, with options to add, delete or move entries up or down the list. Each entry is given an Index which can be used in OnClick event handlers to determine the action to be taken when that section is selected at run-time.
