Delphi SPPageControl COMPONENT
-----------------------------------------------------

This component is a decendend from the Delphi PageControl Component. 

I was using the Delphi PageControl Component and found that it doesn't have a PageIndex Property. I decided to change it and the function to a component called SPPageControl. This component have all the same functions as the Delphi PageControl except there is a new one called pageIndex.

INSTALLATION
------------

Before setting out to install any new components, to be prudent, we
recommend (although it is not necessary) that you close all Windows and
DOS applications first.

For this discussion, we will assume that the SPBackground component is in C:\SPSoft directory.

Start Delphi.

Note that this component was only tested with Delphi Version 5 but 
should work with Delphi 3 and 4.

Installing for Delphi 2.0

  If you are using the version of Delphi (2.0), select
  Component|Install. Click on the Add button. Click on the Browse
  button. Select SPSOFT\SPPAGECONTROL.PAS. Click on the Ok
  button of the Add Module dialog box.  Click on the OK button of the
  Install Components dialog box. Delphi will then add the SPPAGECONTROL
  component to the visual component library.

Installing for Delphi 3.0 and later.

  Go to Component |Install Component option of the main menu. Select
  the tab "Into existing package". Click on the Browse button to the
  right of Unit file name, and select SPSOFT\SPPAGECONTROL.PAS. You will
  notice that Delphi will automatically add "C:\SPSOFT" to the "Search
  Path". "Package filename" will have something like
  "C:\DELPHI30\LIB\DCLUSR30.DPK"; you do not need to change anything
  there.  Click on OK button. Delphi will link the SPPageControl
  component unit and install it on the SPSoft component palette. (If you 
  are using Delphi 4 the user package is called DCLUSR40, in Delphi 5 
  it is called DCLUSR50).

  The last step is to close all open windows. Delphi will ask you if
  you want to save C: \DELPHI30\LIB\DCLUSR30.DPK. Select "Yes".

  When finished, you will notice that you now have a new component
  on SPSoft palette page.

Installation is complete!

The easiest thing to do is to drop the component on your form and write
a sample application to try out. Don't hesitate to click around and try all the properties of this component available at design time.
