         1.  What is the TLoopButton component?
         -------------------------------------

TLoopButton is a standard button equipped with an additional iterating
feature that allows to simulate series of button clicks.  This feature
may be particularly useful for debugging and testing.
Visually the TLoopButton has a small iterator panel above the standard
button.  This panel consists of a label and a loop progress indicator - 
counter.
You can
  - start, stop and resume the simulated button clicks loop;
  - hide and show iterator panel, thus giving the LoopButton standard
    button look;
  - set time interval between successive simulated clicks and the total
    number of such clicks.

         3. Installing The TLoopButton component.
         --------------------------------------

In Install Component dialog use LBREG.PAS as Unit file name, not LOOPBTN.DCU
or LOOPBTN.OBJ.  In other respects follow standard procedure for installing
components.
By default the 'LoopButton' button will appear on the ADDITIONAL page of
the Component Palette, but you can change the component page in LBREG.PAS unit.
Note: it seems to me that for C++Builder 1 installation files LOOPBTN.DFM,
LOOPBTN.OBJ and LOOPBTN.DCR should be placed in $(BCB)\LIB\OBJ directory.

         4. Installing the Help File.
         ----------------------------

The file LOOPBTN.HLP will supply context sensitive help for the
TLoopButton component.

  1. Place the LOOPBTN.KWF file in the DELPHI\HELP directory along with 
     the other .KWF files.
  2. Close the Delphi IDE.
  3. Run Delphi's HELPINST program.  Choose File | Open to open
     DELPHI.HDX in the DELPHI\BIN directory.
  4. Choose Keywords | Add Keyword File to add the LOOPBTN.KWF file
     to the list of .KWF files.
  5. Choose File | Save or hit the blue disk button to compile and save the
     revised .HDX file.
  6. Now it remains to set things up so that WINHELP can find the help file
     LOOPBTN.HLP.  There are several choices:
        - Put LOOPBTN.HLP in the DELPHI\BIN directory - for Delphi1 or in
          DELPHI\HELP directory - for Delphi2 with the other help files.
        - Put LOOPBTN.HLP somewhere on your path and modify WINHELP.INI 
          to add a directory entry for LOOPBTN.HLP.

The LOOPBTN.HLP file contains documentation on how to use the TLoopButton 
component.  To access the help, open the help file from Delphi, press 
the "Search All" button and search for "TLoopButton".  
Or place a TLoopButton component on your form and press F1.
