Property Editors for TLabelEffect Component

Two property editors are provided for the EffectStyle and ColourScheme properties
of the TLabelEffect component, allowing them to be set graphically.

The files for this component are described below.

LEEFCTED.PAS  The code for the EffectStyle property editor.
LEEFCTED.DCU  The compiled unit for this property editor.
LEEFCTED.DFM  The description of this editor's dialog box.

LECOLRED.PAS  The code for the ColourScheme property editor.
LECOLRED.DCU  The compiled unit for this property editor.
LECOLRED.DFM  The description of this editor's dialog box.

README2.TXT    This file.

Install them as described below.

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

LEEFCTED.DCU, LEEFCTED.DFM, LECOLRED.DCU, LECOLRED.DFM in DELPHI\LIB

LEEFCTED.PAS, LEEFCTED.DFM, LECOLRED.PAS, LECOLRED.DFM in another directory,
eg. DELPHI\COMPS.

Note that the .DFM files are necessary in both places if you want to make changes
to the editors.

Then install the new editors :

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

The new editors will then be available.  To access them, start a new project,
add a TLabelEffect component and then double-click on either the EffectStyle
or ColourScheme properties.  Select the required style or scheme and press OK,
or double-click the required style or scheme.  Note that you can still drop down
the list of enumerated values if you would care to use them instead.
