- This file contains information on how to install the TGradientFill component.
-
- Component Installation:
-
- First you need to begin by installing the RzLabel component. It is a Freeware component
- created by Ray Konopka of Raize Software Solutions, Inc. This component is needed for the
- TGradientFill component to install successfully. It is not necessary to install the RzLabel
- component, if you do not want to, but the RzLabel .DCU file must be in the same directory as
- the Gradient Fill component or within the component search path.
-
- Begin by installing the component into the Delphi VCL by following the instructions in the
- Delphi manual. Once this is done, you need to merge the Help Index into the Delphi help
- system so that you can get context-sensitive help while developing with the component.
-
-
- Merge the Help Index into Delphi Help:
-
- You need to merge the keyword file into the master Help index for Delphi. To merge your
- keyword file into the Delphi master Help index,
-
- 1. Make sure you have placed your keyword (.KWF) file along with the compiled Help
- (.HLP) file in the directory with the compiled unit that contains your components.
- 2. Run the HELPINST application. HELPINST is a Windows application installed with
- Delphi.
-
- When HELPINST finishes, the Delphi master help index (.HDX) file includes the keywords
- for the component's Help screens.
-
-
-
-
- Once this is complete, the component is ready to be used in your applications. I hope you
- enjoy it.
