/////////////////////
// What is it? //
/////////////////////
PTools is a set of components and experts that help the designer develop
an application without the need for coding. This is version 1.2.
/////////////////////
// Installation //
/////////////////////
Installation is divided into two parts
- Installing the complete set of components.
- Or, installing a single component.
Installing the complete set of components and experts:
======================================================
This is the preferred method, because you will make use of all
the capabilities of the software. Some of the components are better
installed as a set, like TWavePlay and TWavePause. In order to
install the complete set you need to do the following steps:
1. Copy all files with the extension DCU, DFM, DCR in a single directory.
2. Start Delphi. In the Options menu, select Install Components item.
A dialog with the list of installed components will shows.
3. Click on the Add button, a dialog will show.
4. In this dialog enter the PTOOLREG.DCU name, or use the browse
button to find it.
5. Click on the OK button, then Delphi will start installing
the components and the experts.
6. You are done. Now you can explore software using the sample project.
Installing a single component:
==============================
If you donÆt need all the components, or just want to check each
one at a time, you can install a component singly. To install
a single component follow the next steps for each component:
1. Do as mentioned in steps 1 to 3 above.
2. Then instead of entering PTOOLREG.DCU enter the file name
corresponding to the component to be installed. The following
table shows the component name and the file name containing the needed
parts of that component.

/////////////////////
// What's New //
/////////////////////
I have added a property to TWavePlay and events to THyperTxt components.
- WavePlay has a WorkDir property. If you want to include the wave
files in a subdirectory you might have added the subdirectory
name to the WaveName property, but now you can put the subdirectory
name in a separate property.
- THyperTxt has been improved in three maners. Hyper word has
a separate font property. Also, I have added two new events OnOverWord
and OnWordClick. These two events will give programmers control over
the behavior of the component if the built-in default actions are not
enough.
