File	Contains
TabSlideTransitionBase.pas	The base class for displaying the visual components.
TabSlideTransition_iPad.pas	Inherits TabSlideTransitionBase. It is the class for displaying visual components on the iPad.
TabSlideTransition_iPhone5.pas	Inherits TabSlideTransitionBase. It is the class for displaying visual components on the iPhone 5.

TabSlideTransitionBase represents the main window of the sample. It contains the following components:

A TActionList object.
- Eight TChangeTabAction objects.
A TGestureManager object.
A TTabControl object with five TTabItem objects.
The first tab item contains:
- A TListBox object.
- Two TListBoxItem objects.
- Two TEdit objects.
- A TToolBar object.
- A TButton object.
- A TLabel object.
The second tab item contains:
- Four TEdit objects.
- A TCalendarEdit object.
- Seven TLabel objects.
- A TToolBar object.
- Two TButton objects.
The third tab item contains:
- Two TComboBox objects.
- Eleven TListBoxItem objects.
- Two TEdit objects.
- Six TLabel objects.
- A TToolBar object.
- Two TButton objects.
The fourth tab item contains:
- Two TComboBox objects.
- Eleven TListBoxItem objects.
- Three TEdit objects.
- Seven TLabel objects.
- A TToolBar object.
- Two TButton objects.
The last tab item contains:
- A TMemo object.
- A TToolBar object.
- A TButton object.
- A TLabel object.

When you run the application, the first TTabItem is displayed. Before going to any of the next TTabItem, all fields must be completed on the previous tabs. Otherwise, the Next button is not Enabled.
On pressing the Next or Back buttons on the form, a TChangeTabAction is invoked.
To enable or disable the Keyboard Toolbar, the SetToolbarEnabled method is used.
The Keyboard Toolbar is implicitly hidden, appearing only when completing information in TEdit objects. Setting the visibility is achieved using the following method: SetHideKeyboardButtonVisibility.
