Hi,
I have created a frame which I intend to use in many other forms but with
some components of it hidden.

What I tried to do is to add some published properties to the frame object.
Those properties would dynamically hide some components.

like:

type
  TDataFra = class(TFrame)
    PageControl1: TPageControl;
    tabMultiline: TTabSheet;
    tabSingleLine: TTabSheet;
  private
    FAdvancedOnly: boolean;
    procedure SetAdvancedOnly(const Value: boolean);
  public
  published
    property AdvancedOnly : boolean read FAdvancedOnly  write
SetAdvancedOnly;
  end;

implementation

procedure TDataFra.SetAdvancedOnly(const Value: boolean);
begin
  FAdvancedOnly := Value;
  tabMultiline.Visible  := Value;
  tabSingleLine.Visible := not(Value);
end;

In theory it should hide the tab I do not want, but when I set the property
from a form that have this frame on, the TabSheets are not hidden.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

You are setting the wrong property. Set TabVisible, not Visible.

Ok, thanks...even if now I feel like a complete idiot :(
It does exactly what I want, the only thing is I tough I could do it by
"hiding" the TabSheet completely.

Seems I was looking to far.

Thanks again!
