Runtime Packages

Component Packages is a set of packages containing units and classes that are used by the other packages on my Delphi Website.

Last updated 16th September 2009

• TColorSelector is the color selector I use in XN Resource Editor
   
• TCountryComboBox is a combo-box that allows you to select a country. You can choose a
  particular county or countries to appear at the top of the list
   
• TCWRichEdit is a wrapper for the Windows common controls RICHEDIT control. Like the TRichEdit
  that comes with Delphi but much more powerful. I use a derivative of it in XanaNews to
  display the text (see also TNewsRichEdit)
   
• TExWebBrowser is a wrapper for the windows web browser control - much more powerful than
  Delphi's native browser.
   
• TRegistryPersistentOptions, TXMLPersistentOptions and TInIFilePersistentOptions let you
  persist options in the registry, XML or INI file.
   
• TRunOnce - Prevent your application from running more than once at the same time.
   
• TPersistentPosition - Drop one on you application's form, and it will always remember the position on screen where it was last run - and whether it was minimized or maximized, too.
   
• TNTABoutBox - An 'About' box similar to the ones displayed by the operating system applications.  Looking a bit dated now, but easy to set up.
   
• TMRUList - MRU stands for 'Most Recently Used'.
   
• TRuler - a control that looks like a ruler!
   
• THexDump allows you to display and edit hex data
   

Also included is an MMC snapin expert, which allow you to create powerful MMC snapins in Delphi.  See the readme file for details on how to create your first MMC snapin.

Plus there's a set of powerful Property Page forms that let you create multi-page 'settings' forms like the one you see when you select Tools, Options in the Delphi IDE.  A demo project is included that shows how to set them up.
