1. Welcome
----------------------------------------------------
The CaptionButton collection is the set of 5 useful components
which may add an additional button on the form's title bar and
menu item to the system menu, associated with that button.

Package contains following components:
 1. TCaptionButton - The CaptionButton component applies an additional
    custom button to the title bars of your forms + special menu item
    associated with this caption button to the system menu. Contains
    a lot of customization features such like a popup menus, multiple
    button states, custom tooltips, custom cursors etc.
 2. TFormTopmost - controls Z-order of your forms and allow you to place
    your form over other windows. Since FormTopmost is successor of
    CaptionButton, it able to add the custom button on form's title bar
    and associated menu item to the system menu. Add "Always on top"
    feature to your forms without any line of code!
 3. TFormRoller - allows to reduce or expand (roll up / down) Delphi/BCB
    forms without minimizing them to taskbar or system tray, giving the
    impression that the form is shrinking or expanding. Rolling process
    can be displayed with smooth animation effect. Since FormRoller is
    successor of CaptionButton, component is able to add the custom button
    on form's title bar and associated menu item to the system menu.
 4. TFormTrayIcon - handy component for manipulating the system tray
    icons in the taskbar status area. Allow to use the animated icons
    and contains the number of great features such like additional
    caption button on form's title bar and menu item in the system menu.
    Contains many others properties which allow you to associate your
    forms with tray icons without ANY line of additional code!
    The FormTrayIcon supports the cartoon-style balloon tooltips which
    appears after minimizing of the form to the system tray (a nonintrusive
    way to display an explanatory message for a status bar icon is to
    implement a balloon tooltip with its stem pointing to the icon).
 5. TAppAutoRun - allows to execute your application on every Windows
    startup. Unlike others similar components, it have additional
    features such like starting your app as NT service, showing message
    on Windows logon and fires special event if program started
    automatically. AppAutoRun is successor of CaptionButton and may have
    built-in caption button on form's title bar and associated menu item
    in the system menu.
