================================== Adrock Software SaveForm Component ================================== · Installation · Registration · Source code · Disclaimer · Contact Info The TAdrockFormPosition Control allows you to save the size and position of a form. No coding required, just set two properties and you are done. · Installation ======== Getting Started · UNZIP the archive (eg: ADSAVFRM.ZIP) to a directory temporarily. · Create a directory to hold this component and any others that you will install in the future. (eg: C:\DELPHI\COMPONEN) It is easier to put new components in a separate directory since you can update them easily and if there is a new release of DELPHI it will not effect your add-on component directory. · Installation of the HLP and KWF files. · Exit DELPHI is you are running it, as you can not install the KWF file while delphi is running. · Move or copy help file (e.g.: ADSAVEFRM.HLP) to your Delphi Bin directory (suggest C:\DELPHI\BIN); it only really needs to be somewhere on the path, but the Delphi Bin directory is a good place. Delphi has a program to add our help index to Delphi's help index. What this does is allow you to search for both delphi commands and the commands and properties of the component you want to install. · This program is called HELPINST and is found in the DELPHI\HELP sub-directory. Copy the keyword file (ADSAVEFRM.KWF) to the delphi help directory. · Run Delphi's HELPINST program and load the DELPHI.HDX file from the DELPHI\BIN Directory. · Add the .KWF file (e.g.: ADSAVEFRM.KWF) to the list of indexes. · Save the new index file and then exit the HelpInst program. · Installation of the DCU, DCR, HIS ,TXT and any RES files. · We next must add the component to the Delphi VCL Library. · Copy all the DCU, DCR, HIS, TXT and any RES files to the directory that you made for the components. (e.g.: C:\DELPHI\COMPONEN) · Load Delphi and select the menu item; Options, Install Components. · Add the directory where you have installed the components to the search path directory. All components that get installed must be in this search path. · Click the add button and then the browse button to navigate to the directory where you copied the .DCU file (e.g.: C:\DELPHI\COMPONEN) · Select the List Files Of Type and select Unit File (*.DCU), you should then see the DCU file (ADSAVEFRM.DCU) that you copied to the directory. Select the file and you will be returned to the Install Components dialog box. · Click on the OK button and the VCL library will be re-built. · You will notice on your VCL Palette bar in DELPHI that there is now a new tab called ADROCK, in side here will be an icon to represent the component you just installed. NB: this won't happen if you've installed a Property Editor or Expert type of control - these controls are apparent by either the function they perform (Property Editor), or by their appearence on say as a menu option (Expert). · Registration Registration of this control is available on-line via the CompuServe SWREG forum $10.00 US.
