I have a rather complex form, and decided to use a TPagePanel to
control it, as it varies according to the situation. I can hide the
tabs easily so that it is a box with no tabs, but I can't hide the
border.

Obviously I could hide the border in the interface, but then I couldn't
have a pagePanel that actually had the UI. Anyone know if there is a
way to hide the border easily?

I guess the solution might be a derived component...

You're really not using the control as it was designed to be used.  Why not just use multiple container panels ?

Multiple container panels is how I did it in EWB1, and it is horrible
to try to develop. They are all supposed to be visually in the same
place, and there is about 7 different panels. Thus I tidied it up by
having the tabs.

I'll live with my mess for now, and solve the problem if it ever
becomes one...

I do the same thing in Delphi apps with the TRzPageControl component. It has a HideAllTabs method, and ShowCardFrame and ShowFullFrame properties which can be set to false at run time.  It would be nice if the EWB2 TPagePanel had something similar.  It would make it easier to have varying content on the same page without having to resort to multiple panels.

Just my 2c worth.

Funny, but I have a feeling I had a small part in hide all tabs in Raize.
8-)  it is a good way to implement wizard interfaces.

Of course here at the office I can find nothing on this at all, so
perhaps I've gone mad...
