FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TMDISaveIt v1.00 - Initial Release

January 15th, 1999 -- Y-Tech Corporation is pleased to announce the initial release of the TMDISaveIt Component for Borland Delphi. TMDISaveIt is actually a suite of 4 easy-to-use components that combine extreme flexibility with sheer power. Essentially, TMDISaveIt handles all File UI (User Interface) Logic for your MDI Application. It can handle virtually any situation so all you actually have to do is to write the actual File I/O code!

The following is a list of some of TMDISaveIt's major features:.

• Designed for Delphi 2, 3 & 4.
• Creating an MDI Application with Multiple File Types is just as easy as creating an MDI Application with a Single File Type using TMDISaveIt.
• Handles all File Open, Save, Close, etc... Logic & Dialogs for you; you only need to write the actual File I/O Code
• Can easily handle multiple file types (as many as you want).
• Can easily list File Groups in Dialogs(i.e. Picture Files = *.bmp, *.gif, *.jpg)
• Handles Enabling/Disabling of Buttons & Menu Items for you using Events
• Shows User a New File Dialog (like Microsoft Word's File|New menu item) which lets the user select file types by choosing the appropriate icon.
• Can create New File of the default type instantly (like MS Word's New Document Button). No need to always use the New File Dialog.
• Automatically Reminds User to Save if closing a file that has been modified.
• Works with MRU File Lists (just hook it up to one of those freeware MRU File List components)
• User Can Open Multiple Files at Once with the Open Dialog or by Dropping. (Dropping is only implemented in Delphi 3 & Up Only)
• Accepts Dropped Files from Windows Explorer/Desktop
• Extreme Flexibility, you can design a child form for each file type, or 1 for all file types, or any combination in between.
• Prevents multiple copies of the same file from being opened and when the user tries to do so, it brings the already open file to the foreground.
• Correctly recognizes Read-Only files and does not allow the user to Save to the original file, instead it shows a Save As.. dialog when user tries to save with a slightly modified file name (i.e. "Copy of ...")
• And of course... Easy to Use as well.
• In Short... the easiest, quickest, most reliable way to a professional MDI Application

With the TMDISaveIt suite of components, you can do in less than an hour what would otherwise take you from a few days to more than a month (depending on the complexity of your application). This component is definitely a must-have for any Borland Delphi MDI Application Author. TMDISaveIt also has a sister component, TMultiSaveIt that can handle all your SDI saving needs.

If you work with TListViews you might want to consider the TSaveListView component which lets you easily save and load the contents of any TListView and the TExportListView component which can print or export the contents of any TListView to 7 different formats!

Another component worth checking out is the TSaveCheckState component which can remember the Check State of any menu item in a TMainMenu or TPopupMenu, thereby instantly remembering your user's preferences.
