TMS IntraWeb Component Pack Pro
TMS IntraWeb Component Pack in Win64

You can use IntraWeb components to build 64bit applications. Make sure the 64bit library path includes the folder where you installed TMS IntraWeb Component Pack sources. Design your app in 32bit and then switch project target to 64bit to compile it as a 64bit application.

TAdvStringGrid
How to have 2 different font colors for text within 1 cell

TAdvStringGrid supports the HTML as described at: https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/minihtml.asp As such, to have different font colors, background colors,... in 1 cell, you can write:

procedure TForm4.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  AdvStringGrid1.Cells[1,1] := ''<P>Here is <FONT bgcolor="clBlue" color="clWhite">some</FONT> text</P>'';
  AdvStringGrid1.Cells[1,2]:= ''<P>Have <FONT color="clGreen">green</FONT> and <FONT color="clRed">red</FONT> text</P>'';
  AdvStringGrid1.Cells[1,3] := ''<P>This is a <FONT face="Arial" size="12" color="#FF0000">test</FONT></P>'';
end;

TIWAdvMessageDialog: How to determine which custom button has been clicked

You can use the ButtonIndex parameter of the OnButtonClick event to determine which custom button has been clicked in the TIWAdvMessageDialog component. The indexes of the custom buttons start at 100. So a click on the first custom button will return a ButtonIndex of 100, the second custom button will return 101 and so on.

TTMSFMXGrid: How to change spacing between cell text and cell border

You can specify a variable textrect to accomplish this:

procedure TForm1.BeforeDrawGridCell(Sender: TObject; ACanvas: TCanvas;
  var ARect, ATextRect: TRectF; var ADrawText, ADrawBackGround,
  AllowDraw: Boolean);
begin
  InflateRect(ATextRect, -5, 0);
end;

procedure TForm1.TMSFMXGrid1GetCellLayout(Sender: TObject; ACol, ARow: Integer;
  ALayout: TTMSFMXGridCellLayout; ACellState: TCellState);
begin
  ALayout.TextAlign := TTextAlign.Trailing;
end;

procedure TForm1.TMSFMXGrid1GetCellProperties(Sender: TObject; ACol,
  ARow: Integer; Cell: TFmxObject);
begin
  if (Cell is TTMSFMXGridCell) then
  begin
    (Cell as TTMSFMXGridCell).OnBeforeDraw := BeforeDrawGridCell;
  end;
end;

TTMSFMXPlanner: How to change default ContentPanel (Enter form)

The ContentPanel is internally mapped to a container which contains a remove, cancel and ok button. This is by design. The ContentPanel in our sample is replaced by a TPanel that is placed on the main form and set visible = false. Mapping from controls to item and vice versa is also demonstrated with a simple TEdit <> Item Title.

Here you can download the sample that demonstrates this.

TTMSFMXPlanner: Fixed background items

Fixed background items are currently not supported, but you can accomplish this with custom drawing:

procedure TForm1.TMSFMXPlanner1AfterDrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACanvas: TCanvas;
  ARect: TRectF; ACol, ARow: Integer; AStartTime, AEndTime: TDateTime;
  APosition: Integer; AKind: TTMSFMXPlannerCacheItemKind);
begin
  if (HourOf(AStartTime) = 12) and (HourOf(AEndTime) = 13) then
  begin
    ACanvas.Fill.Color := claWhite;
    ACanvas.Font.Size := 20;
    ACanvas.FillText(ARect, ''LUNCH'', False, 1, [], TTextAlign.Center, TTextAlign.Center);
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.TMSFMXPlanner1BeforeDrawCell(Sender: TObject; ACanvas: TCanvas;
  ARect: TRectF; ACol, ARow: Integer; AStartTime, AEndTime: TDateTime;
  APosition: Integer; AKind: TTMSFMXPlannerCacheItemKind; var AAllow,
  ADefaultDraw: Boolean);
begin
  if (HourOf(AStartTime) = 12) and (HourOf(AEndTime) = 13) then
  begin
    ACanvas.Fill.Color := claSteelBlue;
    ACanvas.Fill.Kind := TBrushKind.Solid;
  end;
end;

Displaying the login page in the TWebBrowser control

If a login page from a cloud service is not correctly displayed in the TWebBrowser control, you can force your app to use a newer emulated IE version in the Windows registry by adding the executable name at the following location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

TAdvRichEditor
Sending TAdvRichEditor formatted text by email

Sending an email with the formatted text created by TAdvRichEditor is really simple. To do so, drop a TAdvRichEditor on the form and the Indy idSMTP component. The content of the TAdvRichEditor can be sent with:

var
  msg: TIdMessage;
  Textpart: TidText;

begin
  msg := TIdMessage.Create(self);

  try
    msg.ContentType := ''multipart/alternative'';

    TextPart := TIdText.Create(msg.MessageParts);
    TextPart.ContentType := ''text/plain'';
    TextPart.Body.Clear;
    TextPart.Body.Text := AdvRichEditor1.ContentAsPlainText;

    TextPart := TIdText.Create(msg.MessageParts);
    TextPart.ContentType := ''text/html'';
    TextPart.Body.Clear;
    TextPart.Body.Text := AdvRichEditor1.ContentAsHTML;

    msg.From.Address := ''developer@delphi.com'';
    msg.From.Text := ''Delphi Developer'';

    msg.Recipients.Add.Address := ''joe.do@mailbox.com'';
    msg.Subject := ''Your message subject here’;
    IdSMTP1.Send(msg);
  finally 
    msg.Free;
  end;

end;

TAdvRichEditor
How to copy formatted text from a TAdvRichEditor to a TPlannerItem

To move the content of TAdvRichEditor with formatting to a selected PlannerItem, following code can be used:

begin
  if Assigned(planner1.Items.Selected) then
  begin
    planner1.Items.Selected.Text.Text := advricheditor1.ContentAsRTF;
  end;
end;

TCheckListEdit
Events

The control TCheckListEdit has 3 non standard VCL events:

OnShowCheckList : triggered when the dropdown is shown
OnCheckListItemToText : triggered to allow to display something different in the dropdown from the edit control part
OnTextToCheckListItem : reverse event

Example:
Assume you want to show in the edit control part "G" for Germany and "F" for France, without implementing this event handler, the checklist dropdown would list "G" and "F"

These event handlers would accomplish this:

procedure TForm1.CheckListEdit1CheckListItemToText(Sender: TObject;
  var aText: string);
begin
  if aText = ''Germany'' then
    aText = ''G''
  else
  if aText = ''France'' then
    aText = ''F''
end;

procedure TForm1.CheckListEdit1TextToCheckListItem(Sender: TObject;
  var aItem: string);
begin
  if aItem = ''G'' then
    aItem = ''Germany''
  else
  if aItem = ''F'' then
    aItem = ''France''
end;

TMS VCL WebGMaps
How to change the language of the map & the directions

The language of the map can be set with the TWebGMaps.MapOptions.Language property and the language of the directions can be set with the Language parameter of the GetDirections call.

TAdvOfficeImage
Printing

There is no direct printing support in TAdvOfficeImage,
Following sample code demonstrates how you can print an image:

uses
  printers;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin
  printer.BeginDoc;
  advofficeimage1.Picture.Draw(printer.Canvas,rect(0,0,200,200));
  printer.EndDoc;
end;

2nd parameter determines the size & coordinates of the picture on paper.
PNG transparency is respected during all drawing.

TMS Aurelius
Changing the way Aurelius saves dates in SQLite database

By default, Aurelius saves date values in SQLite as native Delphi TDateTime values, i.e., as double (float) values. This works fine if you are only using Aurelius to access the SQLite database. But if you have a legacy SQLite database or want other applications to read the database directly, you might need to use a different format. Aurelius offers two other alternative formats, which is Julian (saves the date values as Julian date times) or Text (which saves in text format “yyyy-mm-dd”).

To do that, add this code to the beginning of your application (choose the date time you want and uncomment the correct line).

Uses
 Aurelius.Sql.SQLite, Aurelius.Sql.Register;

Var
 SQLiteGenerator: TSQLiteSQLGenerator;
begin
 SQLiteGenerator := TSQLiteSQLGenerator.Create; 
//  SQLiteGenerator.DateType := TSQLiteSQLGenerator.TDateType.Delphi;
//  SQLiteGenerator.DateType := TSQLiteSQLGenerator.TDateType.Julian;
 SQLiteGenerator.DateType := TSQLiteSQLGenerator.TDateType.Text;
 TSQLGeneratorRegister.GetInstance.RegisterGenerator(SQLiteGenerator);

TTIWResponsiveList: How to add an item with an input field and a button that retrieves the value of the input field

You can use HTML tags to add form controls to an item. Assign the onclick handler of an HTML button to trigger the OnAsyncControlEvent. Use the OnAsyncControlEvent to execute the AsyncGetAttributes call. For a text field you can use the “value” attribute. The OnAsyncGetAttributes event then returns the requested attribute value(s).

Sample code:

procedure TformResponsiveList1.IWAppFormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  li: TIWListItem;
begin
    li := TIWResponsiveList1.Items.Add;
    li.Text.Add(''
<input type="text" id="textid" value="test">'');
    li.Text.Add(''
<input type="button" id="button" value="Button" onclick="'' + TIWResponsiveList1.HTMLName + ''ControlEventHandler(event, ''''ButtonClick'''')">'');
end;

procedure TformResponsiveList1.TIWResponsiveList1AsyncControlEvent(
  Sender: TObject; EventParams: TStringList; EventType, ControlID: string;
  ItemIndex: Integer);
var
  id, att: TStringList;
begin
  if EventType = ''ButtonClick'' then
  begin
    id := TStringList.Create;
    id.Add(''textid'');
    att := TStringList.Create;
    att.Add(''value'');
    TIWResponsiveList1.AsyncGetAttributes(ItemIndex, id, att);
    id.Free;
    att.Free;
  end;
end;

procedure TformResponsiveList1.TIWResponsiveList1AsyncGetAttributes(
  Sender: TObject; EventParams: TStringList; ItemIndex: Integer; ControlIDs,
  AttributeNames, AttributeValues: TStringList);
begin
  WebApplication.ShowMessage(AttributeValues.Text);
end;
