Overview
--------
This component is used to monitor a directory in the file system for
changes.  Set the Directory property to the directory you would like
to monitor for changes.  Then, set the Active property to true to
begin monitoring the directory. If a change occurs, the OnChange event
is signaled.  To stop the component, set the Active property to false.

If you want the component to stop signaling events during your event
handler's execution, use the Suspend() and Resume() methods.  This is
useful if you want to make a change in the directory being monitored
but do not want a new event signaled for the changes you just made.

Release Notes

Version 1.0
-In some cases, the OnChange event will fire twice.  It is caused by
 the FindFirstChangeNotification() API.  When a file is being written
 to, it seems that an event is signaled when the writing begins, and
 another event is signaled when the writing ends.
