Kernel Delphi Components (KDC) V. 1.0 Readme: Patch XU*8.0*207 initial release
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
General Comments:
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Patch XU*8.0*207 provides the following new Kernel Delphi Components:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* XUAlert -- This is a non-visual component that provides an
|
|
object and a wide range of capabilities with respect to
|
|
alert processing. It provides a mechanism by which an alert
|
|
can be set up to run either by a GUI application or via
|
|
Roll-and-Scroll.
|
|
|
|
* XUAlertSurrogate -- This is a non-visual component that provides an AlertSurrogate
|
|
object and abilities to set or clear it for a user.
|
|
|
|
* XUAlertButton -- This button provides the ability to view and, as far as
|
|
possible, to process alerts. Users who hold the XQAL DELETE
|
|
security key (e.g., ADPACs) have additional capabilities
|
|
(e.g., forwarding alerts, deleting alerts for other users,
|
|
and creation of alerts).
|
|
|
|
* XUDateTimeSelect -- This component provides a component for obtaining a date and
|
|
time, which can be entered in a number of different ways
|
|
(or, if the AllowDateRange property is set, a beginning
|
|
date and ending date).
|
|
|
|
* XUMonthCalendar -- This component provides a calendar for display.
|
|
|
|
* XU_NameRules -- This component should be placed on an application form as the
|
|
first component; all subsequent components will then be renamed
|
|
with a prefix according to the pending GUI SAC guidelines.
|
|
|
|
* XUViewPropButton -- At run-time, this button can be used to explore the components
|
|
associated with the application's forms and the current values
|
|
of properties for those components.
|

This installation also automatically installs the Kernel Delphi Components (KDC) into Delphi
|
|
and integrates the KDC online help with Delphi's help. After dropping a component onto a form,
|
|
give it focus, and press the F1 key to open the Kernel Delphi Components' help file
|
|
(i.e., BROKER.HLP).
|
|
|
|
In the following $(DELPHI) is used to represent the base Delphi directory for a specified
|
|
version (e.g., this might translate to C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi4).
|
|
|
|
For Delphi V. 4 -- The .bpl files are placed in the $(DELPHI)\Bin directory
|
|
-- The .dcp files are placed in the $(DELPHI)\Lib directory
|
|
-- Lines are added to the $(DELPHI)\Help\Delphi.cfg file, if they are not
|
|
already present to add the Broker Help into Delphi Help.
|
|
|
|
For Delphi V. 5 -- The .bpl files and .dcp files are placed in the $(DELPHI)\Projects\Bpl directory
|
|
-- Lines are added to the $(DELPHI)\Help\Delphi.cnt file, if they are not already
|
|
present to add the Broker Help into Delphi Help.
|
|
|
|
In the registry the following changes are made:
|
|
|
|
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Help
|
|
adds kdc.hlp and its directory path as the value
|
|
adds kdc.cnt and its directory path as the value |
