TTimePanel is, among other things, the first Delphi component I ve ever written! I ve been using Delphi 2 for many projects over the last 5 or so years - but I ve never written a component before. Why? Well, it just seems that every time I needed an extra bit of functionality I ve managed to find it in one of the many extremely high quality freeware components that have been released by various generous soles on the web.
