First of all I would like to say that it has been a most enjoyable experience to use
Delphi. I have designed and used quite a few programming environments and Delphi is
something to be proud of. And its a hell of a first release, I wish my first release
software worked as nice. There is no argument that the program has its flaws and that
the documentation still needs some work BUT on the whole its a great system.
Congratulations go to the design team.
I have been doing wonderful things here with Delphi. I have been programming components
like a mad man, fun fun fun. They range from transparent buttons to dynamic object
cursors and extended list and list boxes to a geometry based layout engine. I have even
sent examples of my work to some of my fellow delphians here on CompuServe to help them
along with their own projects. While I cannot give out the larger components I have
gotten the okay to release a few of the smaller, but no less useful, ones.
** NeoComboBox
This is a variation on the TComboBox class, it remaps the CBN_SELECTCHANGE message and
causes it to generate an OnListPick event if its defined. I needed the OnListPick
because I really did not want to be notified when the user was just typing in the
ComboBox's edit field. Source code has been included.
** BevelNCaption
This components combines the caption of TGroupBox and low overhead of TBevel. I have
not included the source code because it is based heavily on TGroupBox and TBevel. If
you own VCL source code you can send me E-mail and I will send you the source.
** GlassButton
This is the mythical transparent button. I have sent this to some of you via E-MAIL and
since I solved the SetPosition problem I figured that I would release it to the rest of
the delphians out there. Source code has been included.
