Override default Show behaviour / SetVisible of TForm's descendant (Delphi VCL)

I would like to alter the Show default behaviour of a TForm's descendant (for eg. instead of showing itself on the screen, I would like to place it on a page control as a new tabsheet). How to achive that ? I'd like to show it using a standard method (call Show method or set Visible property) so I tried to override the SetVisible method. But I found that the SetVisible cannot be overriden since it is a private method. Any suggestions where to override it ? Thanks.

Solution

  • You can override the protected TCustomForm.VisibleChanging.
