A smart pathbar component

I finaly did it, made my smart pathbar component. It took a while to get it done but well here it is: rkSmartPath, I know, not a good name but I needed a name so …  It is quite easy to use, just give it a path, adjust some settings and you are ready to go.  Lets have a look:

The screenshot show the HomeMenu. Some default items are present like the drives and new folder items. The desktop and my documents items are optional. Making a new folder is as easy as clicking the new folder (name can be changed) writing name of the folder and you are done. Clicking outside the buttons will lett you paste a path or edit the one shown, you can cancel at any time by pressing escape key. You can also add favourites to the HomeMenu.

I guess thats it, quite easy isnt it. Please tell me what you think of it, I know it is not perfect but what is.

    Hi Roy! I wanted to test your component (because it looks good :-) ). But as I don't like to install components just for a test drive I modified SimpleDemo to create pbarMain in FormCreate. This fails because TrkSmartPath's constructor insists on having a Parent which isn't yet set if you construct the component via code. So if you're interested you might want to check this out.

    Regards, Uli.

    Hi Roy,
    Installed in D2009 and is working fine. Really nice the component. I tested few weeks ago one from TMS, but for some reason the icons was not appearing properly. Yours is working fine, thanks for it. I will definitively use in future :-)
    Best Regards
    André
