Introduction

New Component: TWebSideMenu

The new TWebSideMenu component brings powerful and visually appealing menu/navigation capabilities to your TMS WEB Core projects. A navigation menu is a commonly found pattern in many admin web client applications and TWebSideMenu brings this paradigm in an easy to configure and use Object Pascal component. 

Main Features

• Fully Responsive: Adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes and devices for an optimal user experience.

• Item Hovering/Selection Effects: Provides visual feedback to enhance user interaction and navigation clarity.

• SubItems with Expand/Collapse Functionality: Allows nested menu items to be expanded or collapsed for better organization.

• Versatile Item Types: Offers a range of item types, including the ability to display TMS WEB Core controls, making it highly customizable.

• Item Icons: Supports both images and Material Icons for a visually rich and intuitive menu interface.

New : IDE exception handling

From now on, it is also possible to catch web client application exceptions directly from the IDE. Just like with native VCL or FMX applications, while running these from the IDE, it is the IDE that will catch and visualize exceptions directly in the IDE. We've now also integrated this capability in TMS WEB Core v2.7.0.0. 

New : Google Chart wrapper class extensions

Now the X-axis and Y-axis title can be easily set via properties instead of having to go via JavaScript API calls.

New : UseHash property added to TWebPageControl, TWebTabSet

With this new property you can control whether the navigation between pages/tabs in TWebPageControl, TWebTabSet uses a URL hash or not. When turning this off, you can control that a hash is only used for form level automatic routing for the web client application. 

New : TXDataDataSet support for the Web Form Designer

While the TMS XData XDataDataSet is installed from TMS XData itself, now it is also possible to use this XDataDataSet directly form the new web form designer in the Delphi IDE. This allows for design-time configuration of the dataset as well as design-time live preview of data! 

Various improvements & fixes

Control caption editing got improvement with instant design-time updates. The evaluation of fields during debugging directly from the Delphi IDE also got improved. And we have also exposed the TWebJQDateTimeInput Kind property. The web form designer also got several improvements making it easier to work with the wide variety of built-in TMS WEB Core controls at design-time. 
And as always, the latest release also contains various smaller fixes & improvements that are detailed in the full version history.
