SxMagnet is a component designed for creating Winamp-style forms in Boland Delphi software.
I recently had the opportunity to test out SxMagnet, a shareware-component that simplifies application development with a WinAmp-Style form-positioning behavior. This component enables the attraction of windows to other windows containing the SxMagnet-component and the screen-borders, which can be adjusted to fit your needs.
One feature of SxMagnet that I found particularly useful was the ability for windows to stick to each other, meaning that when one window is moved, the other windows follow suit. This feature is perfect for creating a more organized and dynamic user interface. Additionally, each SxMagnet-component has a group-index, allowing for windows to be arranged in a specific order.
Another handy feature of SxMagnet is the ability to temporally disable the form's magnet similar to docking windows in Delphi's IDE by holding down CTRL when beginning to move the window.
SxMagnet Pro includes full source code and can be compiled under every Delphi Version, making it a great option for developers looking for customization and flexibility. On the other hand, SxMagnet simple offers the same features, but without the source code and is only available for Delphi versions maintained by the SxMagnet team (currently D4, D5. - D6 coming soon).
Overall, I would highly recommend SxMagnet to any developer looking to add a WinAmp-Style form-positioning behavior to their applications. Both versions of SxMagnet include unlimited updates, making this component a great investment for any software project.
