- To install the Console components:
-
- 1. For Delphi 1.0: Select Options: Install Components menu.
- For Delphi 2.0: Select the Component: Install menu.
- 2. Click the Add button.
- 3. Click the Browse button.
- 4. Locate and select the Console.pas file
- 5. Click the Ok buttons to close all the dialogs.
- The Delphi component library DLL will be recompiled with the new
- Console components added to the Additional page of the
- component palette.
-
-
- New features in console.pas version 2.0:
-
- o Updated to support 32 bit Delphi.
- Single source for 32 bit and 16 bit Delphi. Just recompile.
-
- o Word parameters changed to Cardinal.
- This was necessary to eliminate artificial 64k limits
- when the components are recompiled for 32 bit Delphi.
- (64k limits still exist when compiled for 16 bit)
- This change may affect some existing code (ProcessControlCodes
- event handlers, primarily). Just change your variable
- types to Cardinal, too.
-
- o Added DefaultProcessControlCodes helper function
-
- o Moved WriteFill method to the public interface
-
- o Added coFixedPitchOnly element to Options property, to
- ignore/enforce fixed pitch font requirements
