Keep up the great work...Every new release of TMS Component Pack is like Xmas. Top quality components! :-)

The (Scenic) Ribbon control works so well and it looks so good! I've created an entire dummy interface in it to replace an older application and the reactions were very enthusiastic. I just discovered that an entire application can style itself using the AppStyler. This creates a great consistent look and feel as long as you use just TMS components. Thanks a lot and keep it up!

Dear Sir/Madam.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to uninstall and return the TMS Component Pack we recently purchased. It's just too darn good.
What are my clients going to say when I can now implement a whole screed of additional functionality so quickly and easily? How are they going to react when, all of a sudden, their applications look 10 times better?
And there are so many components! It's going to take weeks, if not months, to play with them all.
It's criminal, I tell you. You shouldn't be able to sell a component package this good.
I guess I'll hang onto it a little while longer, and try to figure out how to explain it to our clients.
Keep up the good work ;-)

Thanks for your quick replies! We are happy to be using TMS components. We are happy that the installation is straightforward, and that you are there to answer questions.

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.
