[lazarus] TNotebook vs TTabbedNotebook

[Curtis White]

Shane,

In Delphi, the TNotebook component is one without tabs. This allows you to do
things like a wizard. If the notebook has tabs, then you have to find another
way to do wizards. That is why there is both the TNotebook and the
TTabbedNotebook. They are similar, but the tabbed notebook actually shows the
tabs. If they are the same, then there is no need for TTabbedNotebook. But then
that is another place where we won't be compatible with Delphi. I think we
should keep them the way they were. Otherwise, we need to come up with some
sort of component that will allow people to create wizards and do things where
they don't want tabs.
