- CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
- ---------------------
- Inspiration for this comes from the Microsoft Word (tm) Find File Dialog.
- I needed a similar dialog for a text search application that searchs multiple
- directories.
- Most of this however is based on a dialog template that is included with
- Delphi. I'll leave it for you to find out which one!
-
- If anyone improves or extends this dialog, I would be very happy to see what
- changes you thought of. Delphi is powerful for reusing existing code, and I
- would like to see everyone sharing code in the same manner. In a year or so,
- I expect the market to be virtually flooded with free components, dialogs and
- code snippets that will make programming in Delphi even easier and exciting.
-
- If you use or like this dialog, please email me with your praise and/or
- criticism. Every programmer loves encouragement, and with it you'll see more
- and more great free software written.
- Also, check out my 'VCL CLOCK CONTROL', it should be floating out in the ether
- somewhere.
