The Delphi Component Building Site

Here you can find Delphi-components that are currently under construction or never got finished and others that will just give you an idea on how to do something.

I have found a lot of excellent freeware Delphi components on the Delphi Super Page. Some of them were extremely useful for me. For this I want contribute some of my own components to the public as public domain - as a way to say 'Thank You!'.

But - as you know, there is a big difference between components made for one or two projects and components that should function under any conditions.

Also, it is a lot of work to write readme- and help-files. For this I made "The Delphi Component Building Site".

So please do not expect any documentation or help-file.
But all of these components are Freeware and you will get the full sourcecode.

Some of these components are already released to the Delphi Super Page now.

Users of these components must accept my disclaimer of warranty
(Don't worry, just the usual "the author assumes no liability for damages").

	Please tell me if you also have some "unfinished components" I can put onto this page - or if you have enhanced a component you found here - just attach it to an email, send it to me and I will do the rest.		This is not a big effort - but if we can help even one of our colleagues out there, it is worth to do it. I do not ask for quality - I just want to prevent people from inventing the wheel again.
