- *******************************************************
- * WELCOME TO THE EXPERT DEVELOPMENT KIT for DELPHI 3! *
- *******************************************************
-
- One of the most difficult aspects of programming Delphi
- add-ins is that you have to create them non-visually.
- And visually creating things is one of the strongest
- points of Delphi.
-
- The eXpert Development Kit (XDK) enables you to create
- add-ins in a visual way ! The XDK provides a collection
- of native VCL-components and functions that can be used
- in Delphi 3 design-time packages. That way you can
- combine the use of XDK and low-level Open Tools API and
- direct IDE calls with a possibility of on-the-fly
- loading/unloading packages without restarting
- the Delphi IDE.
-
- Changes
- -------
- This version fixed error (from the version 1.1):
- "New eXpert Desktop Page registration error"
-
- =======================================================
- INSTALLATION
- =======================================================
-
- To install the components, start Delphi 3, and select
- "Component | Install Packages..." to display the
- "Packages" page in the Project Options dialog.
-
- Install the XDK's design-time packages in order:
- XDK.dpl, XD.dpl, XDKdsgn.dpl, XDdsgn.dpl, XDKdemo.dpl.
- After this the component palette includes the "XDK" page.
-
- By default, the XDK is installed into the C:\XDK directory.
-
- After the XDK components are installed, it is necessary
- to update the library search path in Delphi.
- Add the C:\XDK\BIN\ directory at the end of
- the Library Path.
-
- After installation you can see XDK Demo.
- Select "XDK Demo" menu in Delphi IDE for this.
