DIBControls

Source code for some multimedia controls I wrote for Delphi a (very) long time ago

Installation

(For BC++ installation see bottom of file)

This package requires at least Delphi 5, however, I am now only going to provide packages for Delphi 7 and the latest Win32 version of Delphi.

Unzip the files with paths. Add the main component path to your library path (MENU: Tools-Environment options) In addition to the component path, you will need to add the following sub directories

.\OpenSource .\PictureFormats .\PictureFormats\PngImage

Install DIBRuntime.dpk DIBPNGSupport.dpk DIBInstall.dpk

PS: I would love to see some demos etc !
