GrdPlace v.1.1
==============

(c) Enigma Software Solutions Ltd.

GrdPlace has been designed to allow the users of applications written
in Delphi 1 and 2 to modify the layout of any DBGrid within the system and
have the modified layout restored the next time the application is run.

The component will record and restore the index position, and width of
columns so that users can move columns around the grid, placing columns
that are important to them to the left of the grid and those that are
not so important to the right, out of view if necessary.

Properties
==========

FORMNAME
   Defaults to the TForm name property and is used as the ini file section
   paramater.

GRIDNAME
   Drop down list of available DBGrids.  Select the DBGrid for which
   you need the columns to be maintained.

INIFILENAME
   Defaults to GrdPlace.ini but can be modified to reflect your systems
   ini file.

Methods
=======

READ
   Reads the DBGrid column info from the ini file and updates the
   grid layout.  This method should be called from the ONSHOW or
   FORMPAINT events (eg).

WRITE
   Writes the DBGrid column info to the ini file.  This method
   should be called from the ONCLOSE event (eg).

Installation
============

Run the SETUP.EXE file and select the sub directory into which the
files will be installed.

You will be asked to enter a key code during the installation
process, leave this blank to install the shareware version.
The shareware version is fully functional but displays a MessageDlg
box on screen every time the component is created.

.Copy all the DCU and DCR files to the directory that you made for
 3rd party components. (e.g.:  C:\DELPHI\COMPNENT).
.Load Delphi and select the menu item;
	Delphi (16):	Options, Install Components.
	Delphi2:	Components, Install
.Add the directory where you have installed the components to the
 search path.
.Click the add button, then the browse button to browse to the
 directory where you copied the .DCU file (e.g.: C:\DELPHI\COMPNENT)
.Select the List Files Of Type and select Unit File (*.DCU), you
 should then see the DCU file (GrdPlace.DCU) that you copied to
 the directory.
.Click on the OK button and the VCL library will be re-built.
 You will notice on your VCL Palette bar in Delphi that there is
 now a new tab called ENIGMA, inside here will be an icon to represent
 the component you just installed.

Please register your copy to receive a valid key code to enable you
to install the fully functional version.
