Chapter 1 – Introduction Chapter 1 – Introduction
Welcome to Iocomp Instrumentation Components Version 3.0, including high-speed, easy to use components not found in many other ActiveX, VCL, and CLX component packages.
Iocomp Software is committed to providing reliable, feature rich components that will enhance your automation, scientific, and instrumentation programming projects.  They're ideally suited for real-time applications where speed is of the utmost importance while maintaining an easy-to-use, professional, polished user interface.
Should I Use the ActiveX, VCL, or CLX Components?
Iocomp components are distributed as three different component architectures.  All three architectures are included with your product distribution…
ActiveX
Our ActiveX version is compatible with all 32-bit ActiveX compatible design environments such as Microsoft
Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, HP VEE, Clarion, Microsoft Office, Internet
Explorer, Power Builder, and many other ActiveX compatible programming environments.
VCL
Our VCL version is compatible with all 32-bit Borland Delphi and C++ Builder development environments.  Full source code is included with our VCL components. VCL components are not compatible with Microsoft Visual C++ or any other non-Borland development environment.  Although our ActiveX controls are compatible, it is
recommended that you use our VCL controls so that you can take advantage of additional features.
CLX
Our CLX version is compatible with all 32-bit Borland CLX development environments for Windows and Linux, such as Delphi 6-7, C++ Builder 6, Kylix 1-3 Delphi Edition, and Kylix 3 C++ Builder Edition.  Full source code is included with our CLX versions.  If you only plan on distributing your application to the Windows platform andvisual basic pdf
plan on never distributing to Linux, we highly recommend that you use the VCL version of our controls so you can avoid needing to distribute the QT interface libraries.
Key Features
Iocomp Components have been designed to provide a rich, stable, and robust set of features to simplify your program designs.  Here is a list of our key features…
High Speed for Real-Time Applications
Vector-based graphics for greater design flexibility
Easy to use Theme Support
Custom Property Editors
And Much More…
System Requirements
Windows: 32-Bit Microsoft Windows System (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4SP3, 2000, XP, or higher ver
