JfActiveSoft development team proudly announces the new version of
JfControls Standard (060401), now with support for Delphi 2005 Update 2
(Win32).
The most powerful, integrated and innovative group of components conceived
for both Delphi & C++Builder.
JfControls is much than just a set of components here and there. JfControls
is a framework where all the different components cooperate among them in
order to get a series of really innovative functionalities, and without
draining the operating system's resources!!!.
With this new version of JfControls Standard, we are also including a
library of skins for buttons, panels ans windows with more than 590 images
fully defined and ready to be used.
This new version also includes our new 'PkgExplorer' program, fully
implemented with JfControls.
By means of this program you could see the images contained in a package
"pim" or "dis" type, modify them, preview them as a form, a button, a panel,
a checkbox, or a radiobutton, create configurations of visualization
according to tha package you are going to display, and much more.
Besides, the new version of JfControls Standard comes out with new
components to handle images, regions, zones of transparency, etc...from the
own JfControls-created applications, and many other improvements, at all
levels, of the library.
Just take a look at the main features of JfControls Standard:
+ New technology of 'packages': Reuse the application's resources (images,
colours, backgrounds, fonts, text strings, variables, privileges, ...)
Besides, you will be able, quite easily, to exchange your already-made
configurations between different applications.
+ Resizable windows with skin (this is even possible for your MDI windows).
+ Resizable panels with skin.
+ Resizable buttons with skin.
+ Integrated editor to create masks of images with support to scan the
surrounding pixels looking for the range of colours, define the internal and
external areas of transparency and establish the resizement zones, which
will work as 'tiles' later on.
+ Integrated text editor for your translations.
+ Manager Window, with RTTI support, to locate and replace the different
elements throughout our 'packages'.
+ You will be able to change the application's language at both design and
runtime.
+ Specialized set of components to get the fully centralized configuration
of all the application's elements. (TJfCApplication): PkgDisplay,
PkgLanguage, PkgSetup, PkgVars, Privileges, Scroll bars, dialog boxes, skins
for common forms, keyboard, regional configuration, paths, ...
+ Specialized component to configure all the possible features a window can
take (TJfCForm): Backgrounds, constraints, styles, DataSources to

size and position of windows, columns and bands on grids, etc.
