Featured programs

Advanced Toolbar (version 2.70, 1 MB, updated 2 Aug 2007) All-in-one kind of an utility which is continually developed as needed. As I am improving it for about 10 years, it has huge number of functions although some of them are really specific.

The main functions are:

• Checking for a new e-mail messages on a server (POP3/IMAP, can differentiate spam and don’t notify about it)
• Modification of a keyboard buttons functions. Can block keys or run applications after pressing a button, change volume, pause Winamp/Apollo etc.
• Disk space monitoring.
• Application execution with a single button.
• An alarm with a text notification or program execution.
• Time synchronization using an NTP server.
• Volume changes.
• Showing info on the LCD of the Logitech G15 keyboard (for example, waiting Miranda messages)
• Temporary screen saver shutoff.
• and many others

Micro Notes This application is only available in the Czech language

Freeware Delphi Components with Source

TEasyGraph A graph defined by series of points and/or mathematical formulas. Smooth interactive panning and zooming is supported. (430 kB, source + example; version 2.50; updated 4 Aug 2010)

TAudioMixer Caches data from audio mixer for later easier use. Directly supports getting/setting of the volume of any control and other low-level stuff. (265 kB, source + examples; version 1.70; update 6 Jun 2005) Under Vista and newer OSes it is no longer able to modify _global_ volumes. It is still possible to change volume of your application and devices you application is using.

Compile Time Expert This is a Delphi expert, which generates a small file containg the current time right before compilation. This file can be referenced from the code, therefore the date and time of the compilation can be integrated into the application. (6 kB, source + example; version 1.2; updated 2 Aug 2003)

TTaskBarIcon Component designed to create a new icon in the task bar notification area (116 kB, source + example; version 1.03; updated 10 Aug 2000)

TLogGraph Straightforward animated graph component, suitable for logging, i.e. showing values that are periodically sampled. (136 kB, source + example; version 1.07; updated 2 Jul 2000)

TUniDIB (class) Class for working with Device Independent Bitmaps. It can very effectively handle any color depth. (364 kB, source + examples; version 1.26; updated 4 Jan 1999)

Core of this system was used to test the algorithms developed for my PhD thesis. (executable + full source code excluding programs for creating materials, fonts and textures; 350 kB)

Textured B-Spline surface example An example of an animated B-Spline surface with mapped texture running under Direct3D. For compiling you must have MS DirectX 6 SDK or higher properly installed. (executable + source; 56 kB, released 4 Jan 1999)
