    I have a huge application in production using VCL Styles and the package mentioned above: https://www.almdev.com/prods/stylecontrols/stylecontrols.html

     

    The adapter works well with DevExpress grid and other controls like their different tree views. That's all we use from them. We decided to use other StyleControls components (buttons, date editors, page controls) instead of DevExpress ones because:

    1) they play well with VCL Styles

    2) Their code is much simpler and in general any issue you find can be fixed by yourself in a couple of  hours (compared to days to impossible to fix in DevExpress). It's clear that the author just wants to create something that does its job and works well, instead of trying to use every single pattern in any Gang of Four book.

    3) They are lightweight insted of the Dx famous kitchen-sink design

    I strongly recommend it if you are going down the VCL styles route (disclaimer: I'm not related to almdev company)

     

    Cheers,

      Thank you for the opinion. StyleControls VCL now is a key product, which you should have if you are using VCL Styles and want to create a real modern UI.  

     

    StyleControls VCL support all the new features of RAD Studio Athens and also improves applying of VCL Styles:

     

    •  TscFormTabsBar control - our solution of default TFormTabsBar (TCustomForm.VisualManager), which can be used with TCustomForm.CustomTitleBar solution also
    •  Tile View support in our TscListView control, which can be fully customized and VCL Styles can be applied for all elements
    •  Interaction with Skia VCL for Lottie Animations and SVG support 
    •  TscStyleManager component - improves appling of VCL Styles for Forms, Menus and Common Dialogs + advanced features (for example, menus can be with background image, alpha transparency, headers and look more correctly than default solution).

    Question About Optimizing GPControls Performance:

     

    I have a question if you don't mind:

    How can I make GPControls paint faster?

    I'm using multiple TscGPxxx controls in my form, and when resizing the form (especially with controls set to align/resize), I experience flickering and freezing. The entire form becomes unresponsive during resizing.

    Is there an efficient way to optimize rendering and improve performance when handling multiple GP controls? Any best practices or recommended settings to reduce redraw lag?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    To improve rendering performance, set StorePaintBuffer to True on parent controls from the package. By default it is True in some controls, in some False.

    Hi,

    I bought StyleControls some time ago.  Super components and thanks for the "All new versions for free and for life".

    I received upgrades by emails, but for some time now, it stops and I have to send a request by email for each new version.

    Did you switch to a self-service upgrade portal and I did not receive the notice ?

     

    Erik

    Are native Aero Snap and Snap Layouts supported?

    They are not supported.

    But in our solution you can use any VCL conrtol on full client area (our or third-party with GDI drawing).

    With Aero Snap or Snap Layouts (native caption area) you can put on caption area only controls with specifc drawing, which prepeared to draw on DWM border.

    It is an analogue of default TFormTabsBar control, but inherited from our basic class and with new features.
    Also we added demos with this control (MDI / SDI / UWP).

     

    Another feature for RAD Studio Athens is a Tile View support for TscListView control.
