Developing User Application > Development Environment Components > Fore Components > Additional Components > PageControl
The PageControl component is a multi-page panel, which enables the user to save the application window space by positioning pages of various contents on the same place (on top of each other).
To select a page, click on the corresponding tab or press CTRL+TAB (next page), CTRL+SHIFT+TAB (previous page).
The simplest way of working with pages is to right-click the component and select required context menu item: Add Page to create a new page, or Delete Page to delete the current page. Each created page is the object of the PageControlSheet class.
