DirLabel
Mill Software Development

Dirlabel is a component like TLabel but if you assign a string with a filename and path,
DirLabel will try to fit this path in the width of the DirLabel. DirLabel is suitable for Delphi 1,
Delphi 2 and Delphi 3.


The use of DirLabel
Manny programs showing a filename from a table, picture, sound file, etc. If you want to
display a filename with it's path in a label you must make the label as wide as the longest
path. Normally this is not possible because the path of a filename can be very long, especially
in Windows 95, and the space in your program for the label is also limited. DirLabel will try to
fit a path in a given width of DirLabel e.g.:
c:\program\delphi\testen1\testen2\filenaam.pas
can become something like:
c:\...\testen1\testen2\filenaam.pas


TDirLabel differs form TLabel:
TDirLabel does not have the following properties: AutoSize, Caption and WordWrap. Because
the width is of course fixed and you want only one text line. The Caption property is replaced
for the DirName property, therefore if you assign a new file name and path to DirLabel you
assign it to DirName, like:
DirLabel1.DirName := 'New file name and path';


Example program
In the example program you can manually change the width of the DirLabel and see live what
the result will be for a given filename with path.


I hope you enjoy yourself with DirLabel,
