Miscellaneous Components

The Miscellaneous Components package contains a number of handy components that can be used in your Delphi applications.  If you download this package, you must also download my Low Level Utilities package.

• * Drop a TStandardSystemMenu on your application's main form.  It's Window Menu will now have the standard options - Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize and Close, rather than the subset provided by normal Delphi applications.
  
  
• TMRUList provides a configurable list of Most Recently Used files that your applications have opened.
  
  
• Drop a TRunOnce component on your main form, and you will only be able to run a single instance of your application on a computer at any one time.  But that's not all!  It's OnOtherInstance event gets called if another instance tries to start, passing the command line parameters from the second instance.
  
  
• Drop a TPersistentPosition on your main form, and your application will run at it's previous position.  Supports Minimize and Maximized states, too.
  
  
• TSizingPageControl is simply a regular TPageControl with the AutoSize property published.
  
  
• TNTAboutBox provides a standard-look About Box.  Drop one on a form, and call it's Execute method.
  
  
• THexDump displays and edits data in Hex and Ascii format.
  
  
• TTwain allows you to retrieve images from Digital Cameras and Scanners, using it's SelectSource, GetSingleImage methods and it's OnImage event.
  
  TTexturedPanel provides a panel with a bitmap background.  Supports tiling.
  
  
• THyperlinkButton allows you to put a hyperlink on a form.
  
  
• TMessageDisplay displays messages containing text, graphics and components
  
  
• TPropertyListBox Delphi IDE-style property list box/editor.
