TLabelEffect Component

This Delphi component provides an enhanced TLabel, allowing for several 3D
effects to be achieved.  The label can also be rotated.

The files for this component are described below.

LBLEFFCT.PAS  The code for the TLabelEffect component.
LBLEFFCT.DCU  The compiled unit for the component.
LBLEFFCT.DCR  The picture that appears on the component palette.
LBLEFFCT.ICO  The icon for the demo.
LBLEFFCT.HPJ  The help project file.
LBLEFFCT.DOC  The help text for the component (Word 2.0).
LBLEFFCT.RTF  The RTF version of the help text.
LBLEFFCT.HLP  A help file for the new component.
LBLEFFCT.KWF  A keyword file for the help.

LEDEMO.EXE    The demo program showing the new component.
LEDEMO.DPR    The project for the demo program.
LEDEMO.OPT    Options for demo project.

First of all, run the demo.  Then if you like it, install it as described
below.

I suggest that you place the following files in the designated libraries :

LBLEFFCT.HLP in DELPHI\BIN

LBLEFFCT.KWF in DELPHI\HELP

LBLEFFCT.DCR and LBLEFFCT.DCU in DELPHI\LIB

with the remainder in another directory, eg. DELPHI\COMPS.

Then install the new component :

1. Select Options|Install components... from the menu.
2. Add LblEffct to the list of units.
3. Click OK to start the installation.

The new LabelEffect component will appear on the Standard page of the
component palette.

Then merge the component help keywords into Delphi's list :

1. Select the HelpInst icon in the Delphi group.
2. Open file Delphi.hdx in DELPHI\BIN.
3. Add LblEffct.kwf to the list of keyword files.
4. Compile and save the .hdx file.

Then open a new project and experiment!
