Description

Compound Documents, or OLE Structured Storage, provide an ingenious and easy way to effectively create a full file-system within a file. A compound document functions as a 'directory' (or root storage in the lingo) which can contain 'sub-directories' (aka storages) and/or 'files' (aka streams). Compound documents also have the ability to automatically buffer any changes until they are committed or rolled back.

The Maps Library provides five genuine generic associative containers for Delphi. Just as TStringList lets you associate an object with a string as index, Maps let you associate just about any kind of data, object or atomic, with just about any other kind.

DB-Aware Components > Direct DB Access > Custom

Description

Delphi makes the construction of Windows applications easier than ever. In particular, the Borland Database Engine (BDE) offers enormous power with great ease. Sometimes, however, the full might of the BDE is overkill. Wouldn't it be better for your simple projects to use a simple tool, one that could be distributed inside your EXE and didn't require enormous DLLs to function? The QDB components offer fast, indexed access to a flat-file database of variable-sized items. QDB is quick, easy to use, and comes with full installable help.

Description

Snoop interfaces smoothly with your programs and takes note of all memory allocations and deallocations and where in your code they occur. When your program ends Snoop creates a list of all the memory blocks that didn't get deallocated and dumps it to a file. Snoop checks for memory handled by:

• The GetMem, ReallocMem, and FreeMem standard procedures
• The New and Dispose standard procedures
• Allocation and deallocation of objects through constructors and destructors
• Allocation and deallocation of dynamic strings.

Description

Widgets are little buttons which appear in the title bar of Windows 95 applications. Now you can add your own widgets that mimic the appearance and behavior of Windows' own. Choose a glyph from any true type font. Specify a color. Add a hint if you like. Widgets cope gracefully with changes in window style. They are even visible at design-time so you can see what you are getting. A widget component editor completes the package.
