Version 5.10.00.00
PBSharePack contains 6 (+ 2) easy-to-use components using DYNAMIC-sized filemapping to share memory
between applications/processes/threads or exe and DLL. Automatic Singlewrite-multiread access locks.
Works simultaniously or selectively as client and server.
Max performance - share bytes or megabytes without changing properties - the components automatically
resizes the shared memory - no AVs nor memory-waste.
Internally all the components use a TStream descendant to read/write to the shared memory - making it
easy to share any variable/record/object with/without streaming capabilities - using the Reader/Writer
parameters.
The Share can be loaded from/saved to another stream or file.
The components automatically fire events when other components change the shared memory and when shares
are opened or closed - even if apps terminate abnormally.
The applications can be instances of the same application or different applications (each with a PBShare
component).
The components have a list with information of all the open shares (of course shared) - giving you advanced
filtering possibilities in the update-events.
The components can either be dropped on a form (multiple components can be on one form) or created at
runtime (for instance in DLLs - with InterProcess property).
TPBShareSingle is a universal sharecomponent giving you direct access to the sharestream. Reading and
writing via callback-events with direct access to the stream.
TPBShareMulti shares a dynamic list of different-sized elements. Reading and writing via callback-events
with direct access to the stream. Only one element in local memory - to save memory.
TPBShareStringList shares a TStrings object - either an internal list, maintained by the component,
or an external - like Memo1.Lines. AutoUpdate property.
TPBShareMemIni shares an internal TMemIniFile - with or without an external file. AutoUpdate property.
TPBShareImages shares a dynamic list of DIFFERENT sized bitmaps. Only one bitmap in local memory - to
save memory.
TPBCustomShare and TPBCustomShareMulti are the two base classes the components are derived from. Makes
it easy to create your own specialized components.
TPBShareOneInstance is a small component that limits your app to one instance. 2nd instance sends the
commandline back before terminating.
Context-sensitive help is included.
