ADUG Meeting December 96

ADUG Meeting December 96

This is the summary that Steve gave prior to his talk in the December meeting.

"A Visual Component Builder" - Steve Moller

Delphi comes with a "Component Expert" that produces skeleton code for a new component. Al Williams of Doctor Dobbs Journal produced a Component Builder that extended this concept to automatically produce Delphi code that declared, registered, initialized and constructed a component according to property data entered in a single dialog. He also shows how to use an INI file in Delphi.

I have extended Al's work, adding code generators for

	passing component data to and from the matching fields on a dialog,
	handling "MultiEdit" where a single dialog can update several components of the same type and
	saving the complex components to a FileStream.

The demonstration will show a simple component and a matching dialog being built. Bring a disk for free source code!
