Form to HTML: Converter component

Overview and Benefits

If you can make a Delphi or C++Builder form, you can now create HTML pages instantly, and have them look just as sharp. Drop the Form to HTML Converter component onto your existing form, right-click, choose Browse It!, and you'll have your HTML file.

There are two different techniques for using the converter component:

Use it to export static HTML files
In this scenario, you put the component into an existing Delphi form, set the main container, and export an HTML file. Most likely, you would then maintain that HTML page using an HTML editor such as FrontPage. This is the most likely situation for a Delphi programmer who does not use WebHub. Your main benefit is that you do not have to recreate form layouts in HTML that you have already created in Delphi.
For gain the fullest support for Netscape 3.0 and 4.0 and for Internet Explorer 3.0 and 4.0, export a tailored page for each version of the browsers. Then change the browser family property and export again.
Use it as part of an interactive web application, to create dynamic HTML pages
In this scenario, you also put the component onto your existing Delphi form and choose your container. However, your application would use the WebHub components, and you would use the converter component to generate a WebHub style "chunk" rather than a standard HTML file. That chunk would become part of a web page within a larger application.
You would then set the browser family based on the information from the current surfer's browser, and the dynamic page would always be optimized for that surfer.

Requirements and/or Compatible Software

Delphi or C++Builder for win32, or Lazarus

Other browsers/versions: The generated HTML was designed precisely for Netscape 3/4 and Microsoft IE 3/4. If you need to support another browser brand or version, try the default Netscape setting because that will look good in most browsers.

Documentation

Look for f2h-readme.txt which gives you everything you need for installing and using the component.

Source Code Availability

Full Object Pascal source is included when you license F2H.
