Introduction

ATBinHex Component

ATBinHex is a control that implements the quick file (stream) viewer. Only visible part of file (or stream) is loaded into viewer, so it's suitable to show files of unlimited size. Features:

Support for huge file sizes (of type Int64)
Support for Unicode file names
Support for multiple codepages: ANSI, OEM, EBCDIC, KOI8, ISO, Mac etc.
Many service methods implemented: copying to Clipboard, printing, search etc.

There are 5 view modes available:

Text: file is shown in text form
Binary: file is shown in binary form, with fixed line length
Hex: file is shown in hex dump
Unicode: Unicode contents of file is shown
Unicode/Hex: combined Hex and Unicode modes

Text mode

Binary mode

Hex mode

Unicode mode

Unicode/Hex mode

There is extended version of this component available, ATViewer, which can show files in such modes as RTF, Image, Multimedia, Internet and WLX Plugins. But if you just need to show a plain file dump, ATBinHex should be enough.

There is also FreePascal/Lazarus version (ported from original Delphi version), that is maintained by independent developer, Luiz Americo Pereira Camara. This version is currently in beta stage, some features of original version are not yet implemented. For details and progress, refer to LuiPack page.
