Hi to all Delphi-programmers!
-----------------------------

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.

Other my shareware & freeware programs and components
-----------------------------------------------------
MaxSpace
~~~~~~~~
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
tollbar 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 tollbar they automatic move
out of the screen and you again can use a FULL SCREEN. It's perfect for
Delphi 4,5 and C++ Builder 4,5 where the Code Explorer is added  - very
useful addition, but it take the working space and minimum space is
leaved for Code Editor.

CachedQuery
~~~~~~~~~~~
This component is query without BDE's errors in cached updates and
with possibility of saving several queries in one transaction.
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.

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.

That's all!
I shall be glad if my components will be useful for you.

                                                             Good luck!
