"Precision NCA Components for VCL" allows users to modify the title bar of their forms into an interactive toolbar or add an "application button" to extend form functionality. NCA refers to non-client areas.
I recently tried out 'Precision NCA Components for VCL', a software package that specializes in non-client area (NCA) components. These components allow for the customization of a form's caption bar into an interactive toolbar, as well as the addition of an 'application button' to the form.
Compared to other solutions, such as the ribbon toolbar or extending the client area of the window, the components included in 'Precision NCA Components for VCL' are drawn directly to the NCA of the targeted window. This results in a faster and more efficient user experience.
Included in the package are two main components: TPNCAMenuButton and TPNCAToolbar. The former adds an application button to the form, which replaces the standard icon and caption. The latter allows the customization of the caption bar with interactive elements such as quick access buttons, labels, and other custom drawn information.
Overall, I found the components to be user-friendly and compatible with all Delphi versions from 7 to XE7. I highly recommend 'Precision NCA Components for VCL' for anyone looking to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of their software.
