The best way to learn how to use any of our components, is to see how they are used in a simple demonstration application. In general, components provide you with powerful new capabilities that you would otherwise have to program yourself. They are usually available from the ToolBox so that all you need to do is to either declare the component and instatiate it in code, or drag and drop the visual icon onto a form for it to be ready to use.

Each component will be automatically assigned a name. This is the name that you will use to reference the component object in your application. The name can be found by clicking on the component and identifying it from the Properties window.

Once a component has been installed in your application, it is a simple matter to use its associated methods, properties or events. In most IDEs this is made especially easy by means of the autocomplete functionality. Then you simply pass parameters and data to and from the component and use it as you would any other function.

It is important to view the Help files and also to see how the component is used in the demo applications in order to properly use it.
