 Extension for Delphi's TForm

 Tested with Delphi 2. May run with minor changes in other (later)
 Delphi/C++ Builder versions, too.

===========================================================================================================

 Features:

  - gradient filled forms like in Microsoft's office applications
  - "Tahoma" can be used as default font (control's "ParentFont" has
    to be set.
  - New message dialogs with "Tahoma":
    MessageDlgT and MessageDlgPosT added
    (this dialogs use "Tahoma" only if "UseTahoma" is true)
  - OnDrop event for dropped files from f.e. the explorer onto the form
  - properties for minimum/maximum size of the form

 see project EFDemo for more informations and examples

===========================================================================================================

 Please send improvements, questions and tips via e-Mail
 (fischer@rbg.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de) to me.

 Known problems and bugs:
  - new properties and events can only be changed at run time
  - if "UseTahoma" is deactivated the "MS Sans Serif" font is
    used instead of the Windows defined fonts
  - drawing the caption bar may cause unexpected results with
    non-standard configurations (f. e. bigger borders etc.)
