================================================================================ DIRSELCT A directory selection dialog that may be saved as a Delphi template. ================================================================================ CONTACTING THE AUTHOR --------------------- Inspiration for this comes from the Microsoft Word (tm) Find File Dialog. I needed a similar dialog for a text search application that searchs multiple directories. Most of this however is based on a dialog template that is included with Delphi. I'll leave it for you to find out which one! If anyone improves or extends this dialog, I would be very happy to see what changes you thought of. Delphi is powerful for reusing existing code, and I would like to see everyone sharing code in the same manner. In a year or so, I expect the market to be virtually flooded with free components, dialogs and code snippets that will make programming in Delphi even easier and exciting. If you use or like this dialog, please email me with your praise and/or criticism. Every programmer loves encouragement, and with it you'll see more and more great free software written. Also, check out my 'VCL CLOCK CONTROL', it should be floating out in the ether somewhere.
