TTabControl - How do you get multiple and different designs on each
tab?

New to Lazarus, and revisiting programming after 25 years away...

I need a form with four tabs on it, from which I'll get user input
etc.  I can make the tabs appear by entering tab names into the window
that opens from the Tabs field in the Object Inspector.

I was expecting to be able to select a tab and design its form, then
select the next tab and design its form.  Trouble is when I finish
designing the form for tab1 and I click on tab2, the form I put
together for tab1 is still there.  In fact it appears to be on all the
tabs.

Am I doing something wrong, or have I got this totally misunderstood?

Many thanks.

It seems that you need TPageControl. TTabControl is for other purposes
- for example file browser, where tab only changes path but the
content (component displaying files) is always the same. TPageControl
- on the other hand - can have completely different content on each
page.

Thank you. I understand I misunderstood. ;-)
