MaxSpace 3.0 ============ MaxSpace is a special program for programmers, who use Delphi or C++ Builder (version insensitive). It turns your Object Inspector and IDE ToolBar into "Auto-Hide" windows. This mean that now you can write code on a full screen. The normal state of Object Inspector and IDE ToolBar will be out of the screen. But as you will be needed their you move the pointer of mouse to the left side of screen for appearance Object Inspector or move to the top for appearance IDE ToolBar. And after you used the Object Inspector or IDE ToolBar they automatic move out of the screen and you again can use a full screen. Last revision date September, 8, 2000. TABLE OF CONTENTS ----------------- Overview of version 3.0 Installation Registration Other shareware & freeware programs and components VERSION 3.0 ----------- In MaxSpace 3.0 I've rewritten all units. Now they should work more efficiently. I've corrected bug with appearance ObjectInspector and IDE ToolBar when other applications are active. New functions are added in MaxSpace. Now you can turn on/off only Object Inspector or only IDE ToolBar or both. Now you can integrate MaxSpace in Delphi's IDE and control him from Delphi's main menu. If you want to remove ObjectInspector to right (left) then deactivate MaxSpace and drag ObjectInspector to this side. After it activate MaxSpace again. Known bug: sometimes all buttons are disappeared from IDE ToolBar. Solve: maximize and restore main window of Delphi/CBuilder. INSTALLATION ------------ MaxSpace works under Windows 9x, Windows NT/2000. MaxSpace works with Delphi 3,4,5, C++ Builder 4,5 (tested). In theory it must work with all version Delphi and C++ Builder. There are two ways for MaxSpace installation. 1. Locate the maxspace.exe and maxhook.dll in one directory. Run maxspace.exe. A small icon will appear in your tray bar. Click mouse's right button on him and menu will appear. Using this menu you can control of MaxSpace. 2. For integration of MaxSpace and Delphi's IDE you must locate maxhook.dll in ...\borland\delphi\bin directory. Then in Delphi's main menu choose: File,Open. And open d4\maxspace.dpk (for Delphi4) or open d5\maxspace.dpk (for Delphi5). After it, press install button. When installation will have finished new item (MaxSpace) will appear in Delphi's main menu. Using this menu you can control of MaxSpace. REGISTRATION ------------ MaxSpace is a shareware program. You can use my program during of evaluation period (30 days) freely. In that period a nag screen will appear when you will Activate/Deactivate MaxSpace. After this period you must either remove MaxSpace from your system either to register your copy.

If you are using a Borland's TQuery then when you'll try to apply updates to SQL server and it (SQL server) generate an error (error of primary key, error of foreign key, insufficient SQL rights, ...) you'll lose a data. CachedQuery correct this problem and all rows will be applied or all rows will not be applied. Asynchronous SQL Components ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These components allow you asynchronously execute several queries and stored procedures at the same time. The asynchronous executing is possibility to execute several queries and stored procedures at the same time (parallel). When queries and stored procedures are executing asynchronously your application can respond to the user's and system's requirements and can execute any action that you will define. Thus the users can refuse executing queries (stored procedures) at any time. Opening several big dataset take place in 3-5 time quicker, than if open their synchronously. The bigger dataset the quicker asynchronous queries is opened (relatively synchronous). Tested under Microsoft SQL Server 6.5-7. ElegantMDI ~~~~~~~~~~ This component is a new elegant realiztion of the old squalid MDI interface. All windows (MDIChild) will be presented as buttons on autohiding panel, with this component. User can toggle between windows without choosing items in main menu. It looks very effectively. Active Banner for Applications ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can use it for trial version of your applications or as advertising your programs, servers, services and so on. For this you locate several animated or nonanimated gifs to your ftp or web server and indicate to component their exact URL. And when your application, with this component, will be started, users can see this gifs. Through some time you can change this gifs on your ftp (web) server and all your users will see new gifs at once! And what is more that you can use a 'URLForGifList' property for indication exact URL for text file with list of the URL all gifs that you want that users can see through your applications. MinModal ~~~~~~~~ MinModal - minimizer for modal windows. Why we can't minimize an application when a modal window is active? Drop this component to the form, open form by method 'ShowModal' and try minimize this form at run time. Your application will be minimized ! WavePanel ~~~~~~~~~ WavePanel - component with running colors, like panel at the bottom of the screen when Windows 9x loading. All this programs you can download from my web site at: http://szimindemo.euro.ru http://members.xoom.com/seregaz/ That's all! I shall be glad if my components will be useful for you. Good luck!
