TIB_StringListProperty
----------------------

Version 0.8 (early beta) for Delphi 5. (others should work, but not tested)

An alternative Property Editor for all TIB_StringList properties in 
Jason Wharton's IBObjects component package.

written in Feb. 2001 by Frank Ingermann (frank.ingermann@klar-partner.de)

Installation:   unzip the five files to a directory. 
                open pckfi_IB_StringListEditor.dpk.
                go to the Package Options and modify the search path
                  so the pck can find your IBO lib.
                compile and install the package.

Deinstallation: remove the "IB_Stringlist Property Editor" from your package list.

This is not meant as a replacement of the "big" property editor you get
when you dblclk an ibo icon, more of an addon to quickly put together
some simple text lists without having to type those fieldnames any more...

the major feature, however, is that the contents of those lists are made
visible in the object inspector (without having to open them to see if
there's anything in).

Since i'm a little short on time for the moment, there's no help file
available. But the source is rather well commented, and the editor 
should basically explain itself... 

Main feature in the editor is the table / field list bar. here you can 
drag the table/field names into the editor (and vice versa). Another
nice thing is the possibility to switch between a TMemo and a TListbox
to edit the lines. In Listbox mode you can reorder the lines by dragging 
them. 

released as freeware, open source. use at your own risk. 

that's all for now --- may the (open) source be with you!

regards,
Frank
