MaxSpace 3.0
============
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 ToolBar 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 ToolBar they
automatic move out of the screen and you again can use a full screen.

VERSION 3.0
-----------
In MaxSpace 3.0 I've rewritten all units. Now they should work more
efficiently.
I've corrected bug with appearance ObjectInspector and IDE ToolBar
when other applications are active.
New functions are added in MaxSpace. Now you can turn on/off only Object
Inspector or only IDE ToolBar or both.
Now you can integrate MaxSpace in Delphi's IDE and control him from
Delphi's main menu.
If you want to remove ObjectInspector to right (left) then deactivate MaxSpace
and drag ObjectInspector to this side. After it activate MaxSpace again.
Known bug: sometimes all buttons are disappeared from IDE ToolBar.
Solve: maximize and restore main window of Delphi/CBuilder.
INSTALLATION
------------
MaxSpace works under Windows 9x, Windows NT/2000.
MaxSpace works with Delphi 3,4,5, C++ Builder 4,5 (tested). In theory it
must work with all version Delphi and C++ Builder.
There are two ways for MaxSpace installation.
1. Locate the maxspace.exe and maxhook.dll in one directory.
Run maxspace.exe. A small icon will appear in your tray bar. Click
mouse's right button on him and menu will appear. Using this menu
you can control of MaxSpace.
2. For integration of MaxSpace and Delphi's IDE you must locate maxhook.dll
in ...\borland\delphi\bin directory. Then in Delphi's main menu choose:
File,Open. And open d4\maxspace.dpk (for Delphi4) or open d5\maxspace.dpk
(for Delphi5). After it, press install button. When installation will
have finished new item (MaxSpace) will appear in Delphi's main menu. Using
this menu you can control of MaxSpace.
REGISTRATION
------------
MaxSpace is a shareware program.
You can use my program during of evaluation period (30 days) freely.
In that period a nag screen will appear when you will Activate/Deactivate
MaxSpace. After this period you must either remove MaxSpace from your system
either to register your copy.

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.

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