2.0- Installation
From the 'Components' menu in Delphi, select 'Install Packages'. Now click 'Add' and browse to where 'DPXControl.bpl' is located. The components will appear on a new palette page called 'Dave'.
2.1.1- Components
The package contains five components: TDaveButton, TDaveRichEdit, TDaveEdit, TDaveMemo and TDaveLabel. They would have been called TDP<ComponentName>, but I already wrote a component called 'TDPButton'.
2.1.2- Properties
All the components have the same properties as their ancestors, e.g. TDaveButton has exactly the same properties as TButton.
2.1.3- Events
All the components have the same events as their ancestors, plus two extra 'Input' events - OnMouseOver and OnMouseOut. It's fairly obvious when these events occur, so I won't go into it now.
