Separate Product

We are also excited to announce that TMS FNC Core will be available as a separate product. As already mentioned in the intro, TMS FNC Core has received a major update with 2 new components, but has already been the heart and soul for all FNC products for a long time. It includes a lot more "hidden" functionality that can be used separately from any other FNC product. Below is a list of some of the most important features.

JSON reading, writing and parsing functionality
Base64 and URL encoding and decoding
Component persistence
Undo/Redo Manager
Verification of numeric, alphanumeric character sets
Message, file open and save dialogs
Easy access to application and documents folder
Open files and URLs
Bitmap container for storing JPEG, PNG, ICO, GIF and many more image formats with optional automatic URL downloading mechanism

Coming Up!

Making TMS FNC Core available as a separate product doesn't change anything for your current subscription, we only want to make this available as we are planning partnership opportunities, with you as a customer, in the future. Developing your own controls, libraries based on TMS FNC Core will allow you to write the code once and target multiple frameworks/operating systems. Stay tuned for more news coming up in the near future!
