Start Me Up!
Yet one more totally useless component added to the already impressive list!
The StartMeUp Component is a Non-Visual Native Delphi VCL Component whose
only task it is to sound the beginning of the song "Start Me Up" by the
Rolling Stones.
The peculiarity is that the sound is converted from a Wave file into
a resource, which is included in the .EXE. No more need for external
Wave files, just distribute the .EXE with this great sound..
Why this component? Well I was ill for a few days and was staying home
doing close to nothing. I decided to have a quick peek at component building
and this was the result. Not very impressive, though unique in it's kind..
The TStartMeUp Component has just one method: Execute;
The TStartMeUp Component also has a Component Editor. Just right click
on the Component.
To install the component on the palette, select Options|Install Components,
select Add and browse to STARTMUP.PAS or DCU, select Ok twice and the
Component Library should be rebuild. StartMeUp should now be available
on the "Samples" page (it really is a sample).
This component is hereby donated to the public domain, use it at your
own risk. I also included STARTMUP.BMP if you want to use the Logo
as a glyph in a SpeedButton or whatever (I was quite proud of the
fact that I could somehow make it clear that it is a tongue sticking
out..).
Have fun with it!
