Aha! I knew it! It is not an easy problem. I thought I solved it by a very tricky idea, but it turned to be unreliable. My idea was to add (and then remove) an option button in the pageframe init with the same caption as page's and fonts, etc. with AutoSize to determine the width of the page (start and end position), then save coordinates in MouseDown of the pageframe and compare it with the start and and posiiton of the page. It seems to work very well, but I think, there is slight difference between page tab and an option button, because for a small caption of 2 letters only I seem to miscalculate. Also it's unclear, how to handle hot-keys using this approach.

So, I decided to leave this bug until me (or Fabio) design a pageframe replacement...

In my case it's the other way around. E.g. in our base form class we have some code in KeyPress (AFAIK only for ESC). I created my own subclass called DataEntry. How would I incorporate your code and preserve baseclass' code?
