Add-in Express VCL components

To make building add-ins, plugins, smart tags and RTD servers on Delphi more straightforward and fast Add-in Express VCL adds several technology-specific components that implement properties, methods and events of the corresponding Office objects and COM interfaces. These components are command bars and menus, menu items and buttons (command bar buttons), edit and combo boxes (command bar combo boxes), smart tags, smart tag actions, RTD servers and RTD topics, Office 2007 and 2010 ribbons and application menus, etc. All Add-in Express components are grouped into three modules - adxAddIn, adxSmartTag, adxRTDServ.
