Colleagues! We are pleased to announce the release of a new component for Delphi - Dockable Panels - FireDocking 1.0. The component implements the concept of dockable panels, widely used in the development of desktop applications. How Delphi IDE or Microsoft Visual Studio does. The component allows to deploy the docking infrastructure on any FMX.TControl or FMX.TForm. The component supports containers for splitter-separated panels or tabbed panels. Auto-Hide containers are also supported along all edges - left, right, top, bottom. The component fully supports the work with the styles of the Firemonkey. Any style from the Delphi supply can be used. Additionally, the component is equipped with a form designer plug-in for Delphi IDE. For more information and download a trial version, please follow the link. Developer Machines https://www.devmachines.com

Colleagues! We are pleased to announce the release of an update the Grid component for Delphi - Firemonkey - FireDataGrid 1.8. The current version optimizes work with the latest version of Delphi - Sydney. Fixed problems when working with datasets, rendering errors and others. The structure of the source code has been redesigned. Developer Machines - Grid for Delphi (FMX) Developer Machines https://www.devmachines.com

Developer Machines pleased to announce that the first beta version of the new FireDocking 1.0 beta 1 component for Delphi Firemonkey has been released. In the current preview version, the following features of docked panels are implemented, which will be included in the final version: the ability to detach the panel and make it floating on the screen, or hide the panels along the edges of the form and make them as the Auto-Hide panels. Support for double click at the panel's title bar (detach the panel or return it to the memorized place). Split pane containers and tabbed pane containers support without restrictions. The component supports the ability to hide the central docking area, thereby providing the concept - dock anywhere. The component supports any themes and styles that come with Delphi RAD Studio. FireDocking can be deployed to any FMX.TControl inside the app. One application can have several independent docking frameworks deployed on a different FMX.TControl if needed. Also presented is a simple design-time package for Delphi IDE, which allows you put on the docking manager onto the FMX form. Note, the current version does not contain the following features that will be included into the final version - the ability to save and restore docking layout to/from XML file and MacOS support. You can download a preview beta version here - FireDockingInstaller1.0.0b1_RAD_Sydney_10.4Trial.exe P.S. The implementation of the component structure is made on the basis of our other docking component for Qt.C++ - QtitanDocking. However, FireDocking is a complex FMX component developed entirely in Delphi-Pascal. Sincerely, Developer Machines https://www.devmachines.com

Colleagues, we are pleased to announce the release of the second beta version of the component for FMX - FireDocking 1 beta 2. In this beta version, we have added support for MacOS and implemented a mechanism to store the docking layout in the XML file. You can save the state to XML and then restore it. In addition, a number of bugs were fixed and the ability to place the docking manager directly onto the FMX form was added. To download the demo version please use this link: Developer Machines - Docking Panels for Delphi (FMX) Overview (devmachines.com) https://www.devmachines.com

Quite right, it contains precompiled binaries and DCUs for building the examples in Win32 and Win64.

Dear Colleagues! We are pleased to announce the release of a component update for Delphi FMX - FireDataGrid 1.7.3. The component is adapted for Delphi Rio 10.3.3. The current version does not contain new functionality, however, it fixes a lot of errors that were found by users in the previous version. In-depth integration with TDataSet. Now the grid is configured in more detail based on the settings from the TDataSet. Added ability to work with currencies. Fixed bugs when the layout for banded table view is restoring from XML file. Improved installer and much more. https://www.devmachines.com/firedatagrid-overview.html Sincerely, Developer Machines https://www.devmachines.com

Colleagues! We are pleased to present an updated version of the grid component for Delphi FireMonkey - FireDataGrid 1.7. The current version contains many pieces of code that have been completely rewritten to support the current version of FireMonkey RAD Rio 10.3.2. The current version of the component is fully adapted to work on High DPI monitors. The component scaling is processed very carefully (by the pixels) and does not contain artifacts at different screen resolutions. The rendering speed has been increased, and other grid operation bugs in different modes have also been fixed. Redesigned support for FMX themes and styles, absolutely any FireMonkey themes are now supported. Improved the grid zooming feature (activated by the Cntrol +"+", Control+"-" or Control + mouse scroll wheel). Zooming now works much faster. Reworked Filter panel and Field Chooser panel. Added visual effect to them. In addition, bugs have been fixed in the implementation of the TDataSet and the Grid pairing mechanism for read-only, edit modes and in adding new entries mode. You can download the evaluation version at this link. Please send us your feedback and suggestions. All your wishes will be taken into account in further development! Below some screenshots are available: FireDataGrid 1.7 uses Transparent FireMonkey Style FireDataGrid 1.7 uses Windows 10 Modern Blue Style Sincerely, Developer Machines https://www.devmachines.com

I'd like to inform that the new installation for MacOS is available on our website. It contains binary files for 32 bits. If you would like to test the 64 bit version, then install the trial version for Windows 1.7.2 and build the MacOS version 64 bits on your machine. The trial version contains all the necessary DCUs to build the 64-bit version too.

MacOS version (1.7) will be uploaded next week. But it contains only binary files to understand about how it looks. P.S. At the moment i can share an old version 1.6 (Seattle). https://www.devmachines.com/downloads/xxO3Ef02ja/FireDataGridInstaller1.6.0_MacOSXTrial.dmg

Thank you for the help. Here is the fixed build - https://www.devmachines.com/downloads/xxO3Ef02ja/FireDataGridInstaller1.7.1_RAD_Rio_10.3.2Trial.exe

You are absolutely right, FMX does not recognize such OEM key on some keyboards (this is clearly seen on the log generated by Markus, in OEM list there is no such key). Therefore, we will check the very possibility of creating such short-cut and only after that will add it to the action. >>FWIW that exception also occurs when opening the MainForm in the IDE. Do you use Rio 10.3.2, right?

Please start another one app, it seems that this should start normally. There will be a message in the dialogue. https://www.devmachines.com/downloads/xxO3Ef02ja/BandedTableViewDemo.zip

Markus, if possible could you start this executable on your environment? https://www.devmachines.com/downloads/zK3Ef01jz/BandedTableViewDemo.zip It is a debug version of the BandedTableView example. Maybe we will see some more exception description on start up.

I have no idea at the moment why this happening. I checked on a clean machine Windows 10 with a German locale, on which Delphi was not installed at all. Everything starts up. Mystery. See my screenshot.

Hmm, what OS version installed on your PC? Locale?

We just checked the installation. Can not reproduce the problem. Does it occur at startup or when the application is finalizing? Do other examples work well?
