Compatibility
With FNC we aim for reusable code and when bringing TMS FNC Blox to the WEB we wanted to maintain compatibility with FMX, LCL and VCL as much as possible. By rewriting the persistence part of TMS FNC Blox and integrating it into TMS FNC Core it is possible to load blox files that have been saved in a VCL, LCL or FMX application into a TMS WEB Core client application. The code for creating and registering custom blocks in VCL, LCL or FMX is also compatible with TMS WEB Core.Getting Started
Install the latest version of TMS WEB Core, TMS FNC Core and TMS FNC Blox The demo (also included in the TMS WEB Core demonstrates the uses of the TTMSFNCBloxToolBar, TTMSFNCBloxSelector and how to add, configure and manipulate blox elements.Demo: https://download.tmssoftware.com/tmsweb/demos/TMSWEB_FNCBlox/
