** Demo version of Component Create (tm) 2.2 for Delphi **

ABOUT THIS DEMO:
----------------

Thank you for downloading the demo of Component Create, the 
easiest, most powerful way to write Delphi components for your
applications.

This functional demo lets you explore Component Create by
defining and generating your own components.

You can create and save new component definitions.  You can
also open the samples, modify them, and save your changes. 
And, most important, you can generate commented Object Pascal
code for the components you define.

What can't you do with the demo?  It has the following
limitations:  (1) You can't generate property editor code;
(2) you can't generate palette bitmaps; (3) you can't make
your components data-aware with the "Edit | Add data link" menu
item; and (4) you can't add more than 5 properties to a component.

Two versions of the demo are available:  CC16.ZIP, for users
of Windows 3.1, and CC32.ZIP, for users of Windows 95/NT
(whether running Delphi 1.0 or 2.0).

To install the demo, run SETUP.EXE.  The installer puts
Component Create on the Tools menu in Delphi.


ABOUT COMPONENT CREATE:
-----------------------

     "Any Delphi programmer who builds components needs Component
     Create, and any Delphi programmer who doesn't should buy it
     and start building."  

     -- Paul Bonner, Windows Sources, August 1996

Component-writing is the best way for application developers to
create re-usable functionality.  Component Create gives you an
intuitive interface and powerful code generator that speeds you
down the learning curve.  Whether you are new to component-
writing or an old hand, Component Create multiplies your
productivity.

You point and click to set up your component, then get quality, 
commented Pascal code.  Complete code re-generation means you can
change the component definition -- adding and deleting
properties, methods, events -- without losing your work. 
Advanced features include: 

*    Importing container components from .DFM form files.
     Creating container components with multiple sub-components
     is now as easy as laying out a panel on a form in Delphi,
     saving the form, and automatically importing it into
     Component Create.

*    Building data-aware components with links to multiple fields
     or even multiple data sources.
 
*    Components that wrap around forms.  Now it's easy to create
     a component that encapsulates a Delphi form -- like a
     Windows common dialog, but with a form that the component
     developer designs.  You select the form, and Component
     Create handles the rest.

*    Hidden properties.  Developers can make component properties
     (including inherited properties) invisible in Delphi's
     Object Inspector. 

*    Property editor registration and generation.  If the
     standard property editors provided in the Delphi Object
     Inspector aren't quite right for a new property, no problem:
     Developing custom property editors with Component Create is
     a snap.  Custom property editors can be based on drop-down
     lists or on a developer's own Delphi forms.

*    Properties that reference other components on the form 
     (as with the DataSource properties of data-aware VCL
     components).

*    Generating palette bitmaps.  A few mouse clicks and the
     developer has a custom bitmap for the component on Delphi's
     palette.  Component Create generates a resource file ready
     for the developer to edit in the Borland Image Editor.  

*    Get context-sensitive Delphi help in the code editor by
     placing the cursor on a Delphi keyword and pressing
     shift-F1.  

*    Setting of commenting level.  The developer can choose
     between detailed commenting and normal commenting in the
     generated  Pascal code.  

Component Create 2.2 works with both Delphi 1.0 and Delphi 2.0.
It includes Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/NT editions in the same
box.  It includes printed documentation and a complete Windows
help file.
