Notes

C1.Win.C1FlexGrid (.dll / .2.dll)

Correct installation of this library is essential for HighStone.

Used as the prime Data Grid Control.  Usage started at the .NET 2 level of the control.

The CE (Compact Edition) of this component is used in the HighField Hand Held application running on Windows Mobile.

C1.Win.C1Report (.dll / .2.dll)

HighStone

Used in HighStone when a formatted data report is required - paged over A4 / A3 paper size.  HighStone will fail with a Fatal Error if a report is requested and the required library files are missing.

Correct installation of this library is essential for HighStone.

C1.C1Pdf (.dll / .2.dll)

HighStone

Used in HighStone in conjunction with C1Report to create the PDF formatted Data Report.  HighStone will fail with a Fatal Error if a report is requested and the required library files are missing.

The PDF facility is also combined with the TWAIN Scanning capability - using the component to place scanned images in a PDF output file.

Correct installation of this library is essential for HighStone.

C1.C1Zip (.dll / .2.dll)

HighStoneUpgrade

The component is used exclusively in the HighStone Upgrade utility - to extract application files from distributed Zip files.

HighStone will check and install the component files on a User's system prior to running the HighStone Upgrade utility.

Use is reserved for this module to ensure there is no conflict with other key components (and locking of files)  when an automatic application upgrade is being processed.

Chilkat Zip is the preferred Zip component for use in core HighStone modules.

Correct installation of this library is essential for the module.

C1.Common (.dll)

HighStone, HighStoneUpgrade

This is a supporting library file for all C1 components and must be installed correctly where any of the other of the components are used.

C1.Win.C1List (.dll)

Not Used

This component offers an extended List Box Control.  Although used initially in HighStone the benefits were minimal and usage was discontinued in preference to the standard List Box / Checked List Box Controls.

C1.Win.C1Input (.2.dll)

HighLight

This control is used in HighLight to support the Signature facility in the application.  The control is not used in the main HighStone application.
