for direct access of Firebird databases (Interbase also, but tested only on Interbase ver. 7.5). The components are based only on my own, not seldom non-standard, ideas. I have created these components with minimum programming code (all DCUs weigh ONLY 308KB). Wherever the original Borland code was not optimal I have overriden it, but generally I’ve tried to take the maximum advantage of Borland code.

You will be amazed at the potentiality and efficiency of FIB DAC components that set a new standard, unattainable for other compomnents being usually heavy, overgrown and complicated. TFIB_Dataset is the only dataset component that besides simplest (and slowest together) static data access method, supports dynamic data access and partial (growing) records fetching (IN MANY CASES EVEN HUNDREDS TIME FASTER THEN STATIC METHOD; see Readme.txt and Readme_comparision.txt for more details).

Main features:

• send SMS in text mode
• send SMS in PDU mode
• delete SMS
• dial in voice mode
• dial in data mode
• answer incoming call
• hang up current conversation
• recognize calls and identify caller number
• new SMS message alert

• detect GSM modem
• execute custom AT commands

This component works with AT (Hayes) compilant GSM modems connected to one of the serial ports. You can use it also with USB, IrDA and bluetooth devices, because these devices have a driver that redirects the input from the USB, IrDA or bluetooth port to a virtual serial port (you can check it in System/Device Manager/Modems).

TAnimateImage is a windowed control similar to TImage for displaying images of an image list on a form. You only need to assign a TImageList component (or its descendant) to its Images property, and set the FrameIndex property to the index of your desired image on the image list.

Of course, TAnimateImage can animate images of an image list too. If you have frames of an animation as Bitmap or Icon, this component offers the easiest way to animate them. For this purpose, TAnimateImage provides some properties to specify interval, segment, and direction of images for the animation.
