TFritzDataControl

What is this all about?

The class TFritzDataControl allows an Delphi application to remote control the application Fritz!data (Version 2.02 Revision 1.26 and higher).

Fritz!data is made for contacting to a file server using the IDTrans or EuroFile protocol and transfer files between the file server and the local computer.

TFritzDataControl uses the COM-Interface of Fritz!data documented in F_COM.PDF.
The file F_COM.PDF is available from AVM. The included demo application retrieves the file from the "AVM Data Call Center".

The class and the demo application were successfully tested under Delphi 3 Client/Server, Delphi 5 Professional and Delphi 6 Professional.

Some people that planned to use the interface from Visual Basic contacted me and asked for help.
Apparently, it is not possible to use the COM interface directly from Visual Basic. Several people (including me) tried to do so and failed.

So I decided to make my Delphi class TFritzDataControl available in a COM library, so that it can be used from Visual Basic (or also other programming languages like JScript, Perl etc.).

Further Details are available here.
