- ElFormCaption - unique component to control the look-and-feel of your form caption;
| ElMRU |
|
ElMRU is an original MRU (Most Recently Used items) manager. Its unique features include:
- Both popup and regular menu supported at the same time;
- MRU list consists of sections. If your application processes different types of files, you can store all files in one menu, divided into sections;
- Every section can be hidden or shown, can have a caption.
| ElImageForm |
|
ElImageForm performs the folowing tasks:
- creates forms of custom shapes. You can create shapes of any complexity;
- draws form's background. You can use gradient fill or tile, stretch and center a bitmap;
- allows different controls copy the form's background to their canvas, thus supporting pseudo-transparency.
- ElImageForm is a must-have tool when you create skinnable or custom-shaped interface.
| ElHTMLHint |
|
ElHTMLHint lets your controls have HTML-formatted hints. When dropped on the form, ElHTMLHint takes place of default VCL hint and is used to display hints in the application. This way you can assign HTML hints to any components in your application and this HTML hint will be displayed. ElHTMLHint can be turned on or off both in design-time and in run-time.
ElHTMLHint is also used to provide support for Unicode hints in LMD ElPack.

| ElMouseHint |
|
ElMouseHint component is used to display persistent tooltip window that follows mouse cursor when mouse is over the application windows. Indispensable when you need to display information about drag'n'drop operation being carried out in application.
ElMouseHint component supports Unicode
| telformcaption |
|
Use the ElFormCaption component to customize you form caption's look and feel - like drawing the caption in a gradient of colors or using a bitmap and adding colored caption text and additional buttons. This component offers a unique combination of features (additional buttons, multistyled caption text, bitmap background of the caption), and also fixes a nasty bug that prevents similar components to use end colors other than clActiveCaption (end color is where the Close button is located in the form caption).
ElFormCaption component supports Unicode
