Thank you for your purchase of the ITGraph(tm) Custom Control for Visual Basic!
Following is a listing of the contents of the Installation Disk and instructions for installation of the ITGraph(tm) Custom Control and demonstration programs.
Installation (can be done from the Windows File Manager):
1. Copy the contents of the SYSTEM subdirectory from the Installation Disk to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on your hard drive.
2. Copy the desired demos to your hard drive. The DELPHI subdirectory contains the Borland Delphi demo and source files. The MSVC15 subdirectory contains the Microsoft Visual C++ v. 1.5 demo and sources. The VB30 subdirectory contains three demo programs for Visual Basic 3.0 in the ITGDEMO, ORGCHART and PROCESS subdirectories.
3. Proceed to the instructions in "Visual Basic Notes", "Borland Delphi Notes", or "Microsoft Visual C++ Notes" according to your development environment.
General Notes:
--------------
To use the ITGraph Custom Control, 'ITGRAPH.VBX' must be located in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory or in the same directory as your application.
Visual Basic Notes:
-------------------
In addition to 'ITGRAPH.VBX', you should add 'ITGRAPH.BAS' to your project. This file defines the various settings used for ITGraph properties.
'ITGRAPH.HLP' should be in your current path, so as to be accessible by Windows' WinHelp. When using 'ITGRAPH.VBX' in the Visual Basic development environment, pressing the <F1> key while an ITGraph control is selected, or while one of its properties is selected in the "Properties" window, will bring up help for the control or the selected property.
The 'ITGDEMO.EXE' file is a demonstration of the various ITGraph features. You should run it to get an idea of the capabilities of the control. Read the ITGDEMO.TXT file for instructions on using the demo. The sources are provided as 'ITGDEMO.MAK' and the 'ITGDEMO*.FRM' files. Some sample graphs are provided as '*.ITG'.
Another demonstration program, 'ORGCHART.EXE' and its sources 'ORGCHART.MAK', 'ORGCHART.FRM' and 'ORGCHART.BAS' show how you might write a simple application to draw org charts. Read the 'ORGCHART.TXT' file for instructions on using the demo.
A third demonstration program, 'PROCESS.EXE' and its sources 'PROCESS.MAK', 'PROCESS.FRM' and 'PROCESS.BAS' demonstrate an animated process flow. Read the 'PROCESS.TXT' file for instructions on using the demo.
Borland Delphi Notes:
---------------------
Before you can use ITGraph in a Delphi project, it must be installed as a Delphi component. From Delphi's "Options" menu, choose the "Install Components..." option. Click on the "VBX..." button. In the "Install VBX File" dialog, find and select "ITGRAPH.VBX" and press the "OK" button. In the "Install VBX" dialog box, click "OK" to accept the defaults provided by Delphi.
You should add 'ITGDEFS.PAS' to your project. This file defines the various settings used for ITGraph properties.
The 'ITGDEMO.EXE' file is a demonstration of the various ITGraph features. You should run it to get an idea of the capabilities of the control. Four sample graphs are provided to illustrate the types of layouts that ITGraph handles. Note that 'ITGDEMO.EXE' is not built. You must load the project into Delphi and compile it yourself.
Microsoft Visual C++ Notes:
---------------------------
ITGraph should be installed as a component in the App Studio. From the "File" menu, choose the "Install Controls..." option. In the "Install Controls" dialog box find and select "ITGRAPH.VBX" and click the "Install" button to add it to the list of "Installed Files". Press the "OK" button when you are done.
You should include 'ITGDEFS.H' in your project. This file defines the various settings used for ITGraph properties.
The 'ITGDEMO.EXE' file is a demonstration of the various ITGraph features. You should run it to get an idea of the capabilities of the control. Four sample graphs are provided to illustrate the types of layouts that ITGraph handles.
