Components > Dialogs > Extended Dialogs

Description

Users of Windows 2000 would have noticed that there's a Different File Open Dialog in applications like Notepad. There's a bar on the left that has button links to common folders like My Documents, History etc. It isn't very difficult to use this common dialog, but Delphi's TOpenDialog will not allow you to do so. We have built two new components: TAgOpenDialog and TAgSaveDialog, that are now available for download.

Support for Windows ME added.

These components have one more property: ShowPlacesbar, that makes the left bar visible (only in Windows 2000. The property has no effect on other versions of Windows).

Description

Have you ever tried to open .DFM files outside Delphi? They usually show up as junk in Notepad, because they are not text files! FormRead is a utility that allows you to read .DFM files as text, and modify them. This gives you a file view on the left for you to explore your hard drives. When you come across a .DFM file, click on it and you'll see the text on the right. As simple as that.

Description

Agni's Hawk Eye is the first and only complete component debugger for Delphi components. Developing components in Delphi has traditionally been non-visual: In a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool like Delphi, non-visual development could become frustrating. And since these components are installed right into the Delphi IDE itself, you could not effectively test and debug components in Design time and Run time mode. Now, with Hawk Eye, you can do just this: Test your components just like you test your applications in Delphi.

Hawk Eye provides an environment similar to Delphi itself, but is specially designed to help you test components. Like Delphi, Hawk Eye has an Object Inspector and a Form Designer to help you place your components and test their properties. For component debugging, Hawk Eye provides an event log, which logs the events that your component fires. You can also put breakpoints in your component's code in Design time testing. Hawk Eye supports property editors and component editors so you can effectively debug the component and its editors in Design time and Run Time as well. In short, Hawk Eye is the best and easiest solution to testing and debugging components.
