Adding the Control to a Project: Delphi Users

Delphi versions 4.0 and greater are supported.

Below are the steps for adding the Flipper CAD Control to an existing Delphi project. The project must contain a form for the control to be placed on.

• From the standard toolbar menu, go to Component|Import ActiveX Control..

• Select the Flipper CAD Control 3.x item from the Registered Controls list box and click the Install button at the bottom of the dialog box.

• Click OK in the Install dialog to use the default settings.

• You will be prompted to build and install the package. Click Yes to continue.

• A message box will tell you that the TFlpCAD component has registered; click OK. The Flipper CAD Control icon will show up in your toolbox in the ActiveX tab.

• Click on the icon from the toolbox, and add an instance of the control to your form by clicking and dragging the boundaries of the control. Now you are ready to go! See ViewMouseTool for adding shapes to the control with the mouse.
