VCL

Still in the spirit of re-publishing some of my old information you can here find my VCL components. I last coded on this back in 2001 on Delphi 3 (afik) – you can download them and use them, but I can not help you with upgrading to newer versions of Delphi.

Apps10.ZIP

Delphi 2.0 & 3.0mdApps Demo

AppsDemo.ZIP

2K (src.)

Apps ver. 1.0 (4K) (100498) (FW src.)

This is a file contaning two classes (TmdApp & TmdTrayApp) which in itself is two small applications, which I use when I want to create small applications without using TApplication and TForm classes. The one class is a generic class with a window handle and messages dispatched to the class. The other class is a tray class, which I use when I want to create small tray applications. The tray class have functions to control the tray icon, and create the popup menu used over the tray.

This file is a transmation of the header files icmpapi.h and ipexport.h from Microsoft, and used for sending a Ping from a Delphi program.

Delphi 2.0 & 3.0Drop Demo

DRP11Dem.ZIP

2K (src.)

Drop ver 1.2 (6K) (240398) (FW src.)

The TmdDrop component offer the ability to accept drap’n’drop’s from explore. With this component you are able to make a form accept drag’n’drop’s or one or more windows – all at the same time.

The component is build over a component called TmdMsgComponent. This component gives the ability to hook into the message stream (and react to these messages) of another window (ex. your mainform) without having to change the component. In this way the TmdDrop component can work together with any existing component with a handle.New : TmdTray and TmdDrop is now using the same TmdMsgComponent class.

Note : The TmdMsgComponent (version 1.2) is included in the zip file.




Tray14.ZIP

DnLoad

Delphi 2.0 & 3.0Tray Demo

TrayDemo.ZIP

2K (src.)

Tray ver 1.4 (8K) (190898) (FW src.)

The TmdTray component can add a icon in the tray – just like so many others. The reasons that I started on this component anyway, was:

  1. The tray component which I were using were not able to update the icon in the tray, when I have changed it. Not even via a procedure call after the icon were changed. I desided that I wanted to make a tray component which easy could change the icon in the tray.
  2. I have created a TmdMsgComponent, which were able to hook into the message stream for any window, and it this way able to hook into the message stream for a form (on what the component must be createt).

New : In Version 1.4 I have added support for more than one tray component on one form.

Note : The TmdMsgComponent (version 1.2) is included in the zip file.

With the components and functions in this package, you can send “messages” from one program to another, when you know the name of the mailslot which the other program supplies.

The TmdMailSlot component gives a possiblity to supplying a mailslot for other programs to write to, and the SendToMailSlot function gives a client the option of writing in to the mailslot.

The messages can be send from one Win95/NT machine to another, or to all machines in a domain, which have the same mailslot open.

From version 1.1 it also includes a TmdWinPopup component, for recieving and/or sending standard messages over a Windows network.

For more information about mailslots and WinPopup messages, see my page about the WinPopup program.After several request for a demo program (three), and one who could not make the TmdWinPopup work – you can now download demo programs from here.

New : In version 1.15 tw memory leaks is removed – Thanks Don.

A lot have changed in version 1.12! First of all is the basic structure now more binary-message friendly :-), and beside this two new components (and more classes) are added. TmdSafeMail is a component doing basically the same as TmdSecureMail, but with a binary header instead of an ASCII header (reducing the header size to the half). Another new component is TmdLongMail. This component make it possible to send messages to domains and single machines with a length up to 65532 bytes.

Please see the source for a compleate list of changes, and the ReadMe.txt for a mini FAQ etc.

URL Label ver 1.2 (5k) (051197) (FW src.)

The TmdURLLabel is a label, which can look like a web link (including a web-hand as cursor) for http:// and mailto: prefixes. When a user clicks on the link, it also launches the default web browser on the page (the URL written by the label) or tries to send a e-mail (to the e-mail adresse written in the label) via MAPI.BTW: Dennis Powers were so nice to inform me (and now you) that you also can send a fax (when a MAPI fax service is installed) with the mailto: sequence “mailto:[fax:number]” – ex. mailto:[fax:12345678] sends a fax to 12345678.

In version 1.2 it offers the URL as hint, for showing in a statusbar.
