HI,
That is something referred to the development, not to the library.
If you want to open multiple files at the same time, you must create a navigator for each file and associate the parent property of each navigator to each page of the PageControl (Control with multiples pages).

Cheers!!!

Hello,

To display the contents of several drawing files in tabs, you will need to use two tabbed controls: TPageControl and TTabControl. TPageControl pages (TTabSheet) containing TsgDrawingNavigator instances will display the contents of drawing file layouts, while TTabControl will be used for switching between layouts (Model, Layout1, etc.). Special attention should be paid to operating with a several TsgCADImage objects. I would recommend to use TObjectList for this purpose, because TObjectList is intended for operation with an indefinite amount of objects like a dynamic array.

The code example below requires a TPageControl that fits into a client area, with no new pages created at design time, TTabControl with no tabs created at design time, aligned with the bottom of the client area,
TOpenPictureDialog and TMainMenu with one item (File) and two subitems (Open and Close). Each TPageControl page is created at runtime when you open a file and acts as a parent control for TsgDrawingNavigator. TTabControl tabs are created dynamically for a current drawing when you open a new file or switch between opened files.

Code: Select all

uses
   ..., CADImage, DWG, DXF, sgDrawingNavigator, Contnrs;

type
  TsgDrawingNavigatorClass = class of TsgDrawingNavigator;

  TForm1 = class(TForm)
   ...
    OpenPictureDialog1: TOpenPictureDialog;
    pcDrawings: TPageControl;
    tcLayouts: TTabControl;
   ...
    MainMenu1: TMainMenu;
    miFile: TMenuItem;
    miOpen: TMenuItem;
    miClose: TMenuItem;
   ...
    procedure FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
