Hi All :-)
In BCB 6 Examples folder there a cool components package called
"ShellControls" ... According to me it's very useful in Win32 programming
and I don't understand why Borland itself did not offer similar components
in BCB's palette...
The problem is that like a demo project it has got some bugs... the one that
makes me crazy is caused by that keeping crashing when you try to undock it
from a VCL form ... well I think it's related with cleaning up stuff, in
fact it also crashes the program if you try to delete it at runtime
(creating it with new and then deleting it!)...
Delphi 7 comes with a new working version already installed in the
component palette, so I'd like to know if there's a way to obtain an update
version of that for BCB6 ... Is there a download link?
If not is there a free component like that around the web? I tried
Plasmatech Shell Control Pack ... it's very good, but it's shareware not
freeware ... and I don't understand their licence: what does mean a single
licence? Only for one developer that can then sell his products freely?
Thank you in advance for your answer!
Stefano B.

Have a look at the Turbopower's ShellShock component suite:
sourceforge.net/projects/tpshellshock
AFAIK, it's free of charge.

THANK YOU Very much!
That's cool!! And even does not reset during drag & dock!! I don't
undersatnd why Borland does not ask his author for inserting it into BCB!!
Free is great for students :-)
Good bye Plasmatech!
Regards,
