- DS-Internet Explorer URL Link README
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This file is best viewed in Notepad (800x600 Display) and maximised.
-
- THIS SECTION IS VERY IMPORTANT...
- POLITICAL DISCLAIMER
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- I am fully aware of the politics of releasing a component that has something to do with Internet
- Browsers. This control now supports both Internet Explorer 4 and Netscape Navigator 4 in its
- browser synchronisation. As new versions of these browsers are released, the control will updated
- to reflect any structural change in these technologies
-
- That's the political bit over, now the control overview...
-
-
- Some people may have downloaded the original URL-Link Control Source Code that I released a few
- months back. Well, that has now been superceeded by this new component which offers some powerful
- new features (and which took a lot longer to write, hence I have not released the source code
- this time). This control emulates as closely as possible the behaviour of URL links in Internet
- Browsers enabling programmers to create much more "flashy" dialogues etc... The control, however,
- is a bit difficult to set-up on the form but, once done, the control handles the rest. There is
- a help document included that explains al of the properties. There are several new features over
- the beta version - I suggest that you check out the Demo program (and project source code - this
- is an excellent way of learning how to use the control) to see what's new.
-
- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Simply run the Setup.exe program. This will install the control, the demo and the documentation.
- The demo is a comprehensive coverage of every aspect and feature of the control. The
- documentation is in Word '97 format - if you do not have Word '97 then wait for a week or so -
- I'm converting the document to a web-page and adding to it to my web-site soon - check out the
- IE URL Link homepage (www.bigfoot.com/~davesoft/dsielink.htm) to see when this gets added.
-
- And finally...
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you would like to be added to the mailing list for updates to this and other programs
- available, please email davesoft@bigfoot.com and ask to be added to the "Software Update List".
-
- Remember! Everyone who assists in reporting bugs or giving advice on a control will get their
- name/email address/web page placed on the About Box of the final version of the control. Also,
- beta testers are entitled to free versions of any shareware products released (components that
- provide primary functionality for a program are shareware).

- My thanks go to Steve Lager (onsite@accel.net) for his assistance in providing details on
- Netscape Navigator.
