Message from oid-3488802 :

"I found this via Google while searching for a decent Resizer Component but everything I had
found was flickering or severely limited. The coding Gods were really watching over me last night
and I could not ask for anything better than this. Massive thanks to the author - you have great
talent, thanks for sharing."

Short description
Packages with 93 components for all delphi versions (since D7) to build Windows 32/64 bit
applications:
VCL controls, DB controls including 2 DBGrids, DB Express components principally developped for
MYSQL.

Highlights
'Core' folder with Cindy library that can be used without installing Cindy components.
'3rdPartyUtils' folder with third party library utilities.
TcyResizer component allows resizing controls as Delphi does.
TcyDocER extract document information (mail, phone, amounts etc ...) using OCR results from any
source like Tesseract (open source) or Transym (comercial but cheap, fast, easy and powerful).
Demo source and exe at sourceforge.net

Long description
Packages with 93 components for all delphi versions (since D7) to build Windows 32/64 bit
applications:
VCL controls (labels, buttons, panels, Edits, TabControls, StaticText) with features like background
gradient, colored bevels, wallpaper, shadowText, caption orientation etc...
TcyCommunicate and TcyCommRoomConnector allows communication between applications
running in same computer session.

features.
TcyResizer allow move and resize components at run-time like delphi 2009 does.
Advanced DB Express components (tested with mySQL) for easy table data handling (tcyDbxTable
or TcyDbxSimpleTable), schema modifications (TcyDbxUpdateSql), reconcile handling
(TcyDBXReconcileError) and table creation (cyDbxImportDataset1).
TcyMathParser can parse matematical expressions.
TcyWebBrowser allows view/edit html documents.
TcyDbAdvGrid is a DBGrid with advanced feature rendering like gradient fixed cells, multiselection
handling, embedded graphic and memo fields etc ...
TcyDocER extract document information (mail, phone, amounts etc ...) using OCR results from any
source like Tesseract (open source) or Transym (comercial but cheap, fast, easy and powerful).
TcyBook allow to see images in a virtual book with turn page effect and pages handling.
