This is a fairly simple component that when dropped on a Datamodule
shows the active states of all TTable's and TQuery's by drawing a colored border around the components.

(Note: Do NOT drop this component on a form, especially without saving your source code..)

This component is still VERY beta.. It chews system resources like you
wouldn't believe.  The next version (due in approx. 2 weeks) will be slimmer, have a smaller memory footprint and be around 2-3 times more efficient.  For the moment, however, this component serves its purpose.

Comments/Criticisms/Whinges/Whines are welcome.. Feel free to E-Mail me at montelay@powerup.com.au.

Component Notes:

The interval property is how often the component does a refresh of the
Datamodule window.  On my Pentium 166 an interval of 1000 is quite acceptable.  Slower computers may wish to set it as high as 5000.

The Parentform property is simply there for testing purposes.. You can't play with it so don't bother.

The EnabledColor and DisabledColor propertys are integer values for the colors that are drawn around the component icons.  In future versions these will be represented by seperate RGB values.

Well, that's basically it, just install the component into your VCL and go for it.
