- Delphi Form Parser 1.X
- from RealSoft Development 10/96
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This sounds like an odd utility at first, but is is acually very useful
- and definitely time-saving!
-
- In a nutshell, the program will convert almost any Delphi form with
- components into a procedure that can be called to create the form "on
- the fly" without the need for a separate DFM file. You might ask WHY?
- DFM files are certainly nice and easy because they are handled
- automatically by Delphi. In a component, however, you sometimes need
- to use forms, and wouldn't it be nice to have components that exist
- in a single .PAS or .DCU file without a .DFM file tagging along, waiting
- to get lost? We thought so too. After painstakingly converting forms
- and components by hand into procedures, we wrote a parser to do it, and it
- works so easy that we decided to release it to you.
-
- The parser will work on all standard Delphi components, including Database
- components. We even have a special technique for storing TStrings, Glyphs,
- and other binary properties WITHOUT A SEPARATE RESOURCE FILE!! The
- parser can produce a new UNIT that can be included in your project, and
- immediately compiled (minor adjustments may be necessary). You can then
- call CREATEFORM_MYFORM, and you will instantly have a form that looks
- identical to the orignal, only (LOOK MA, NO DFM!!). Besides losing the
- DFM resource, the procedural forms are much FASTER at setting properties!
