Introduction
------------
TDBGridPro is VCL component, which performs data visualization and editing in
two-dimensional grid. 

FOR CORRECT COMPONENT INSTALLATION IN DELPHI IDE PLEASE COMPLETE ALL STEPS
		DESCRIBED IN INSTALLATION CHAPTER

The TDBGridPro version 1.5 is distributed as freeware. TDBGridPro registration
is free too. However, all plug-ins supplied with the component (besides
"OGP-Designer", "OGP-Visio", "3State-Visio" and "Indicator") work only under
Delphi IDE.

You can distribute TDBGridPro as long as you do not make any changes to the
original zip file.

Before component using you have to conclude the license agreement with the
author. The text of this agreement is placed in 'license.txt' file. You should
accept the license agreement because you may not use component without license
agreement acceptance in whole.


Installation
------------
* Having unpacked supplied archive you will have got following folders created:
  ...\			contains the component and file that registers it in
			Delphi IDE.
  ...\Plug-ins		contains plug-in modules (different additions to the
                  	component's functionality).
  ...\Demo        	contains demo application.
  ...\Resources   	contains multilanguage support files and usefull
                        resources.

  all subfolders and all files from ...\ folder are recommended to
  be moved to new folder, from which you will install component to Borland
  Delphi.

  1. Windows registry changes must be done for the correct work of property
     editors in design-time mode. Launch "dbgpreg.exe" application from
     ...\BIN\ folder (or where you've installed the component). Then set the
     path where you've installed the component and press 'Register' button.
     If you move the component to another folder you will also need to launch
     "dbgpreg.exe" and reassign the path. "dbgpreg.exe" application creates
     "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vipper\TDBGridPro" key in Windows registry,
     so, if you want to remove the component from your PC, you should delete
     this key using "regedit.exe".

     ATTENTION! This key is needed for design-time ONLY; it will NOT be
     necessary if distributing TDBGridPro applications.


  2. For component installation open package "dbgpack.dpk" and install it.
     Don't forget to mark Default checkbox in yours projects for
     "Project|Options|Directories/Conditionals|Search Path" value 
     "[component full path]\plug-ins" to get proper access to plug-in modules.

     WARNING! YOU SHOULD NOT RENAME "Plug-ins" folder and put plug-ins in
     different folder. So files must be placed like this:
     ...<YourDir> \ <Plug-ins>     <- folder containing plug-ins modules.
     ...<YourDir> \ dbgp.dcu
                    dbgpreg.dcu
                    dbgpstr.dcu
                    dbgpreg.exe
                    dbgprop.bpl


  3. Next you should install "dbgprop.bpl" package which contains visual 
     property editors. For that purpose open "Component|Install Packages" 
     menu and press "Add..." button ("Design packages") and point "dbgprop.bpl"
     from the folder where you have installed the component.
