Property Expert Version 1.0 (C)1995 Sutron Corporation, (703)406-2800, August 2, 1995
Written by: Jonathan D. Weisberg, CIS:74710,1675
Language : Delphi for Windows version 1.0
Sutron develops mission critical Windows programs for environmental real-time data
collection which multi-task and run for extended periods. We also offer a complete
line of data recorders, sensors, and RTUs for control applications. Call and ask
for a sales person or a catalog if you are interested.
The executable may be freely distributed, executed, and copied.
This software is made available to the public "as-is" without warranty of any kind.
PropExp.DLL uses the version control installable dll feature of delphi,
to implement new menu features which help with the creation
of component properties. This removes a lot of the tedium from adding
new properties to a control.
Before you can use the property expert you need to add it as a version control
manager. If you already have a version control manager perhaps you can add PropExp
as second one ... although I am not sure. To add it you need to edit the
C:\WINDOWS\DELPHI.INI file and add the following section:
[Version Control]
VCSManager=C:\wherever\PROPEXP.DLL
The next time you run Delphi, an Extension menu will be added. Use Set Properties...
to tell PropExp what kind of property you are trying to make. Arrow around in your
source file to the appropriate section and then select Paste Published, Private,
Protected, and Methods to add the stub code for your property to the component.
PropExp is really just a first shot at using Delphi's version control interface
to customize the IDE. There may be other ways ... but this was the one that was
somewhat documented. At the very least PropExp should encourage others to explore
this interface and add their own customizations.
