VBMax 3.0
=========

VBMax is a special program for VB programmers. It turns your Properties
Window and ToolBox into "Auto-Hide" windows. This mean that now you can
write code on a full screen. The normal state of Properties Window and
ToolBox will be out of the screen. But as you will be needed their you
move the pointer of mouse to the right/left side of screen for appearance
Properties Window or move to the top for appearance ToolBox. And after
you used the Properties Window or ToolBox they automatic move out of the
screen and you again can use a full screen.

VERSION 3.0
-----------
VBMax was born from analogic program for Delphi/C++ Builder (MaxSpace).
And therefore the version of VBMax is 3.0.

In VBMax (MaxSpace) 3.0 I've rewritten all units. Now they should work more
efficiently.

New functions are added in VBMax. Now you can turn on/off only Properties Window
or only ToolBox or both.

If you want to remove Properties Window to right (left) then deactivate VBMax
and drag Properties Window to this side. After it activate VBMax again. ToolBox
will be removed to the opposite side.

Here is the version for English Version Visual Basil for other versions of Visual
Basic email me.

For work with VBMax you must undock Properties Window and ToolBox from other windows.
The Properties Window and ToolBox should exist separately.

INSTALLATION
------------

VBMax works under Windows 9x, Windows NT/2000.
VBMax works with VB5, VB6.

mouse's right button on him and menu will appear. Using this menu
you can control of VBMax.

OTHER SHAREWARE & FREEWARE PROGRAMS AND COMPONENTS
--------------------------------------------------

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.


ElegantMDI
~~~~~~~~~~
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.

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.

I shall be glad if my components will be useful for you.
