Description

It takes away the hassles of having to create a splash screen for your program. Create a picture, and assign to this component. 2 lines of coding are all you need - BlendIn() and BlendOut().

Updates / Features:

• Like the splash screen of 3DMark2000, it alphablends with desktop (fades in and out).
• Utilizes the MMX instructions where possible.
• Uses an extremely fast algorithm to blend if MMX hardware is not present (for CPUs optimized for 32-bit, ie. Pentium PRO, non-MMX is almost as fast as MMX at the same clock speed).
• Runs on Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / NT4 sp4 / NT4 sp5 / 2000 / XP / 2003.
• Ease of use - 2 lines of coding.
• Uses TGraphics component to store picture - assign picture like you've always been doing for TImage.
• All known bugs from previous version has been fixed.
• Includes a demo that shows how easy it is to use this component.

Description

Serial Port is NOT dead. In fact, it's getting more popular with more devices like fingerprint reader and LED display boards using RS232 as its interface.

This device is a drag and drop component that requires little configurations - set the baud rate and Comm Port - and you are ready to go.

Despite its user-friendliness, it is packed with all the options you can find in WinAPI - Event Character, Custom Port Name, Flow Control, Maximum Send Queue, Parity, Stop Bits, Byte Size and all the time out settings available in WinAPI.

This Xtrimsoft component has been tested working since year 2000 and has been used in our company's production for several years. It is the first time it has been released as a freeware.
