[Lazarus] TPageControl OnChange calling issue

[Michael W. Vogel]

Hi,

we want to discuss a bug report 
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25554 here, not in Mantis (hope, 
I understand Bart right).

Today, the TPageControl.OnChange event behave different in Lazarus than 
in Delphi. In Delphi it is only called (so the bug report), if the user 
change the page. In Lazarus it is also called, when the page is changed 
by code.

I like (need) the behaviour in Lazarus, cause I mostly use blank 
TPageControls, with dynamic added pages and filled with dynamic created 
TFrames (created on demand). So for me it isn't important, if the user 
select a page or it is selected by code, I need the OnChange event to 
create or initialize the TFrame.

If I understand Bart right, he had a fix for that bug report, but than 
the behaviour now is gone.

I would prefer a option like nboCallPageChangeByCodeSelection to keep 
the current behaviour (so it doesn't break Lazarus code). A other 
possibility would be a new event like OnChangePage (as a replacement for 
the current Lazarus TPageControl.OnChange).
I wouldn't throw the current (in my eyes: better) behaviour away.

What is your opinion?

Kind regards

Michl
