Introduction

Button Page is utility that Stores a component or groups of components
saves their properties and offers the ability to recall them at any time
when using a form.

Button page also has a built-in glyph manager that allows selection of any glyph
and can automatically insert the selected glyph, into a selected TBitBtn or
TSpeedButton.

Button Page can also keep track of Projects with the aid of storing them and there
descriptions it can be a great time saver.

(this utility has saved me hours in developing forms and managing projects)

The Button Page started out as rough expirement and has grown into an interesting
project.
There some quirky things that may not work properly but I felt it was about time I
got it out there to get some feedback on what others wanted from it.

Also if you decide to register Button Page I will throw in the source code to
MRO and a couple data aware components that I have been using in developing
my applications. (well worth the look)

Future
I have several options that I haven't included in this release as I was unsure on
realiabilty of them.
   - The use of Icon's or Bitmaps for projects.
   - Saving source with components
   - Basic Script language to manipulate stored components.
   - Method Box see help file.





Contacting Me

I encourage any and all feedback on Button Page.  I will read any correspondence regarding this utility.  I only
ask that you follow a few simple guidelines when sending feedback.  First, be verbose.  Describe any problems
or feature request in as much detail as possible.  Include any information that you think may be valuable code
or bitmaps, the version of Delphi you are using, (remember to include file dates and size etc.).  If I cannot
reproduce your bug, or do not know what you are talking about, I cannot fix the problem.  Second, include a
method for me to contact you.  If you failed in step one, I may need to contact you for more information.  If you
have an   e-mail address, include that.  Third, include in the subject/title reference to the type of feedback (if it is
a bug report include bug in the title; if it is a feature request, include request in the title; etc.).

Due to time constraints, I was unable to add a scroll bar but it will give you a very interesting insight into how
things are done..
