Wagner, I must congratulate with you: I really enjoy reading and watching your posts and videos about TMS Aurelius. First, I appreciate them because they are very specific and up to the point. Second, as a TMS Aurelius user, the more of your post I read, the more I am confident about the choice I have made between TMS Aurelius and "The Others". I love the simplicity of TMS Aurelius: this is the very distinctive trait of it: If you know how to deal with Plain Old Simple Object in Delphi, then you know 80% of TMS Aurelius. And your posts about it, are something I always find very interesting. Thank you so much.

FixInsight brought us an immediate gain in code quality by highlighting possible problems that went undetected until now.
We included it in the static code analysis on our buildserver, so every commit by a developer is also checked with FixInsight. It is a tool that really helps you to make your codebase more solid and also improves readability by reminding developers to stick to conventions.
One should not forget to mention that Romans support is great.

I am a registered user of several TMS software packages. For the longest time I have been using the TMS Grid to do everything that the TStringGrid never could think of doing. At work we ran into a problem that would require some features that would have taken me hours and hours to implement by myself on a TStringGrid (I am the only developer in my group) and we really had no time or anyone to pay for it. That was when I suggested the TAdvGrid. We immediately bought the whole component pack. That was back last December. Ever since then, we've used and reused the product over and over again in many different projects and have saved a great deal of money as well as time by it's use. My boss has been even more impressed by the fact that every update includes newer and better updates.

We have been using TMS components in our software development for almost 30 years. Throughout this time, we have consistently experienced friendly and high-quality service. Problems are not simply dismissed with the words "no error found," but rather, solutions are actively sought in collaboration with the customer. The components are well-designed and highly configurable to meet individual needs. We have also found TMS to be a reliable partner in custom development projects.

Another vote for Flexcel here, since the rewritten and updated Flexcel came out a year or two ago, I only use that. Mostly I use it to read XLS and XLSX files, which it does much faster and more flexibly than Excel automation, in my experience. If you also need to write XLS and XLSX files (which I do occasionally) Flexcel has the most amazing utility named 'ApiMate'. You can design your output report in Excel, including only a minimum of actual data, but with all the detailed formatting, headings, and column, row and cell properties you need. Then point ApiMate at the Excel file, and it generates a Delphi program to write the entire XLS file using the Flexcel API, with all the attributes matching those you created in Excel itself. It is then the work of a few moments to adapt the ApiMate-created functions to handle your real data. Magic! Flexcel support is prompt and helpful, too.
