there are many components for delphi at www.torry.net
to find a tutorial for delphi... you say you code in asm and c/c++ then it
should be no problem to take a look at the help files and read something
about the syntax of delphi. it is simelar to c and has only other symbols or
keywords that can easily found in help. and the demos for delphi, that
delphi 3 has, can give you a good advice how it should look.
and start a google search, than will find many tuts on the web.
