We've covered a lot in Parts 1 and 2, but there is still lots of interesting stuff to go. Here in Part 3 we tackle two of the most complex VCLcomponents:TListView and TTreeView, both of these are highly useful. TTreeView is used whenever you want to display hierarchical information, such as a directory structure or nodes in an XML file. Use TListView whenever you want to display a list of items, such as files, with their file name, size, modified date etc.If you are like me you will use TListView regularly when building applications.
In the second half we cover all of the dialog components, you will find yourself using the variousopen and save dialogs all the time, so it is important to know them inside and out.
Next we examine context sensitive help (pressing F1)- a highly important topic for the usability of your applications. Then finally we look at a few of theremaining controls anda number of additional properties on TForm.
