Component: TMirrorPanel Version: 1.2 Description: Enhanced TPanel component for Delphi16 Author: Richard Shotbolt Email: 100327.2305@compuserve.com Date: 25 Mar 1997 TMirrorPanel has all the properties of a TPanel plus the ability to show a bitmap and flip the text and image about the X and/or Y axis. I wrote this for an eyetest program where you look at a distant image of the computer screen reflected in a mirror. Version 1.2 fixes palette problems with monochrome and 256-color bitmaps. TMirrorPanel is freeware - use it how you like. << Additional Properties >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- MirrorX: Boolean; When True, the caption and image are flipped left-right. Note that this does not affect any controls on the panel. MirrorY: Boolean; When True, the caption and image are flipped top-bottom. Note that this does not affect any controls on the panel. Picture: TBitmap Allows you to show an optional image as background for the caption. Stretch: Boolean; If True, the image fills the panel. If False, the picture is in the appropriate corner. Note that the picture should not be larger than the panel if Stretch = False. --------------------------------------------------------------------- << Installation >> Backup your 'complib.dcl' file as a precaution. Select 'Options', 'Install Components'. Select 'Add', 'Browse'. Select the directory containing the MirrPanl files. Select 'mirrpanl.pas' and click OK on each box that appears. The MirrorPanel control will be added to the 'Samples' section of your component toolbar. If anything goes wrong, restore your backed-up complib.dcl and try again after correcting any obvious problems.
