                   MRU Filelist  ----  Shadowed Popup Boxes

                      Pascal Code (C)1993 Bobby R. Wallen

                              All Rights Reserved


Part One : OMRULIST.PAS

     This unit will add a Most Recently Used filelist to the FILE menu of your
     Application. Simply add the unit to your uses statement and then set it
     up in the Initialization of your Main Window Object.

  To add a filename to the list call AddMRUItem in your File Opening sequence.
  To Access a file from the List use the call to GetMRUItem to retrieve the
     Filename and then send that to your File opening sequence. This will not
     automatically remove the filename from the list, that must be done by an
     explicit call to DeleteMRUItem.
  To Dispose of the FileList simply call Dispose in your WindowObject's Done
     method like this -> Dispose( MRU, Done );
  To Save the List of files for the next session call SaveMRUList at the start
     of your Done method. This will write the filelist to an INI file which
     you can name.
  To Load the Filelist at the start of your session, call LoadMRUList in your
     SetUpWindow method.

Part Two: SPOPUP.PAS

  This unit will give you a shadowed popup text box.

  To use it first add the unit name to your uses statement.
  Next add a field in your Main Window Object -> APopUp : PSPopUp;
  Next Add a method to handle the Window Message WM_SPOPUP_DONE

  procedure TYourWindow.PopDone( var Msg: TMessage );
                                 virtual WM_First + WM_SPOPUP_DONE;
  begin
       Dispose( APopUp, Done );
  end;

  this will dispose of the Popup Window and free the memory used.

  At the place you want to use a popup window place a call to MakeWindow,

-> APopUp := PSPopUp( Application^.MakeWindow( new( PSPopUp, Init( X, Y, AText))));

  where X and Y are the Left and Top positions of the Window and AText is the
  PChar string you want to display.

  The rest is automatic.

  Please see the file MRUTEST.PAS for a working example of these units.
