*** INSTALLATION All of the distributed files need to be placed in one of two directories: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM, or \SCDEMO (or any other directory to hold the demo files) To use the SoftCraft Graphic Custom Control at runtime, copy: SCGRPHIC.VBX to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM In addition, if you want to use the Control at design time, copy: SCGRPHIC.HLP to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM (optional for online help) SCLIC.DLL to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM (required at design time) Copy the remaining files to the \SCDEMO directory if you want to run the demo or use the distributed VB source files. *** LICENSE FILE To distribute your Visual Basic or Visual C++ application with a SoftCraft Graphic Custom Control, you need to also distribute the runtime file for the control, SCGRPHIC.VBX. You may distribute the SCGRPHIC.VBX file without charge as long as it is not modified in any way. To use the SoftCraft Graphic Custom Control in design mode, you must have the license file, SCLIC.DLL, located in the same directory as the SCGRAPHIC.VBX file. If you get a message about a missing license file, you must place the license file in the proper directory and then exit Windows and restart. Note: You are not allowed to include SCLIC.DLL with any application that you develop and distribute; only SCGRPHIC.VBX may be distributed. *** RUNNING THE DEMO After SCGRPHIC.VBX has been placed in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM, you can run the demo by executing the DEMO.EXE file with the Program Manager's File Run command. *** DOCUMENTATION All documentation for the SoftCraft Graphic Custom Control is in the online help file. You can view this file even if you do not have the design-time license file by loading it into the Windows Help program. To do so, press F1 while in the Program Manager to start up Help. Then use the File Open command in Help to load SCGRPHIC.HLP. *** SAMPLE SOURCE FILES You cannot load the demo project unless you have the license file, but the project source files are distributed in text format so you can view them with a text editor. In addition, all of the source text is included in the SCGRPHIC.HLP online help file.
