Ultimate Page Control SuiteT for Borland DelphiT

http://www.advanceis.com/ultimate-page-control-suite/

ADVANCE Information Systems is proud to announce its Ultimate Page Control
SuiteT for Borland DelphiT, comprised of 10 composite and specialized page
control modules, and more than 123 classes altogether. UPCT modules benefit
from exceedingly extended functionality, and from an innovative navigation
system which accommodates unlimited pages, and consumes minimal interface
area for navigation.

Individual modules include Paged StatusT; Paged Auto-wrapping ToolbarsT; and
Paged Related ControlsT. Composite modules navigate database systems, and
feature multiple wrapping, paged toolbar regions, and integral paged related
tools and paged status regions the focusing of which can be coordinated with
focusing of the main or alternative paged regions. Module functionality is
readily extended in any way, by unlimited, integral Auxiliary ToolsT. UPCT
modules supersede many conventional controls, solve some of the most
difficult engineering issues of interface design, eliminate substantial
engineering overhead, and make it possible to create exceedingly
sophisticated graphic interfaces with just a few clicks. Few of us for
instance have even seen multiple, simultaneously wrapping toolbar regions -
much less, multiple, *paged* simultaneously wrapping toolbar regions, which
are readily built in moments in the ADVANCE UPC SuiteT. The Ultimate Page
Control SuiteT is a complete re-engineering of the conventional page
control, and a leap ahead in functionality, efficiency, and features:

. Superior alternative to MDI application architectures - consolidated
functionality; substantially lighter resource footprints; ready navigation
of the entire application; and better speed than MDI architectures;

. Automated, property-driven, SECURITIZED NAVIGATION;

. Automated real-time response to security properties, including defocusing
of all pages when predicated by imposed security; focusing of an alternate
page when predicated by security imposed on the focused page; and focusing
of an alternative focusable page when security is lifted from a
no-focused-page condition;

. Automated honoring of security, even at module creation. (No coding
required.)

. Optionally displayed LogoPanelsT, providing not only the potential to
achieve distinctive visual effects, but the potential to deliver intuitive
graphic symbolization of the purposes of multiple modules;

. Automatic replication of LogoPanelsT by Navigation Windows;

. Automated association of pages in Navigation Windows by PageGroupT;

. Automated, optional numbering of pages in Navigation Windows and
FocusControlsT;

. Customizable, automated proliferation of region and font colors across
entire modules by ColorSchemeT properties;

. Automatic application of color contrast in response to changes to the
system color, clBtnFace (in acsBtnFaceVar mode);

. Automatically wrapping paged toolbar regions. Multiple, simultaneously
wrapping toolbars are readily handled, even where distribution of the
toolbars results in contention for the same interior spatial region. Methods
are not even defeated by inadequate internal area, or number of competing
toolbars. In the TADVANCE_PM04_DataMasterUPAT for instance, 3 toolbars
simultaneously contend, from the top, and from the bottom, for the same
interior spatial region;

. Lightning-fast, flicker-free wrapping algorithms, automatically invoked in
response to population, configuration, and region resizing, without a single
line of (developer) code;

. Leveraging of singular wrapping algorithms, for minimal resource
footprints;

. Automated, property-driven disablement of wrapping functions to maximize
interface area available to contending regions when outer container regions
are resized beneath developer-defined bounds;

. Automated, property-driven display or hiding of optional auxiliary tools
in response to region sizing, to maintain visibility of FocusControlT
captions when container regions are resized beneath developer-defined
bounds;

. Automatic, property-driven sizing of embedded module regions when pages
are focused. Intended page height is automatically rendered on focusing
pages;

. Sizing tools are automatically made available and configured by the mere
assignment of developer sizing event handlers;

. Intelligent navigation system behavior, high speed implementation of
navigation resources, and extremely efficient consolidation of navigation
system resources;

. A rich diversity of navigation and population  methods: Add or insert
pages at any index position, inheriting or ignoring PageGroupT associations,
with or without focusing the appended or inserted page;

. Exemplary design and deployment of class methods and data, engendering
extremely light resource footprints, despite tremendous extension of
conventional functionality;

. Customizable, automated page naming, engendering desirable alpha-numeric
order;

. Class act property editors, streamlining all manual operations in the IDE.
