by Arash Ramin - http://www.digitalroom.net
version 1.12 (February 19, 2000)


***** NOTE *****
- ReadFont method signature has changed!  See below (REFERENCE & HISTORY)


DESCRIPTION
-----------

An extension to the standard TIniFile class:

- Adds ReadColor/WriteColor, ReadFont/WriteFont methods.
- Adds ReadFloat/WriteFloat to C++Builder 1 and Delphi 2/3
  (via conditional compilation).
- Retrieves and restores a window (or control's) size/position with
  ReadWinPos, WriteWinPos at runtime.

Freeware provided I'm not held liable for any use or misuse etc.
Please e-mail any suggestions or comments! (address available on web site)

COMPATIBILITY
-------------

Delphi 2/3/4/5
C++Builder 1/3/4


USAGE
-----

Delphi:
- Add unit (iniplus) to USES clause, ensuring that it's in the
  project/environment path.

C++Builder:
- Add iniplus.pas to project OR
  install as a component (it won't show up on the component palette!)
- Include header file (iniplus.hpp) in units that need it.


REFERENCE
---------

- Constructor and all new functions work essentially the same as TIniFile.
- The exceptions are ReadFont and ReadWinPos noted below.
- ReadWinPos/WriteWinPos will retrieve/restore a control or window's top, left,
  width, height properties.

function ReadFloat(const Section, Ident: String; Default: Double) : Double;
procedure WriteFloat(const Section, Ident: String; Value: Double);

function ReadColor(const Section, Ident: String; Default: TColor) : TColor;
procedure WriteColor(const Section, Ident: String; Value: TColor);

{for ReadFont the font isn't returned in a function, but passed in
as a parameter, since it is a VCL object so we just pass a reference to it.
There is no default setting - in such a case the font is unaltered}

procedure ReadFont(const Section, Ident: String; Font: TFont);
procedure WriteFont(const Section, Ident: String; Value: TFont);

{for ReadWinPos, the size/pos. settings are loaded directly to the control.
There is no default setting - in such a case the size/pos. remains unaltered}

procedure ReadWinPos(const Section, Ident: String; Win: TControl);
procedure WriteWinPos(const Section, Ident: String; Win: TControl);


HISTORY
-------

Version 1.12 (February 19, 2000)
- Changed ReadFont signature to conform to ReadWinPos and other methods:
  procedure ReadFont(const Section, Ident: String; Default: TFont; Font: TFont)
  has become -->
  procedure ReadFont(const Section, Ident: String; Font: TFont);
  (see REFERENCE above for new usage)

- Fixed: on a conversion error (EConvertError), ReadWinPos would not set
  the window back to its specified default size & position.

- Minor source code tweaks (thanks to Andreas Schmidt) and documentation updates


Version 1.1 (March 17, 1999)
