TMS VCL WebGMaps
When I try to install TMS WebGMaps in Delphi 2007, I get the error message: TMSWebGMapsPkgD2007.dpk(38) Fatal: E2202 Required package 'IndyCore' not found

Please make sure Indy 10 is installed with Delphi 2007 and then retry to install. TWebGMaps internally uses some Indy functions and therefore needs Indy 10.

TAdvStringGrid

TMS VCL WebGMaps
How to save and restore a map position

Initialization:

  public
    MapBounds: TBounds;
    MapZoom: Integer;

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  MapBounds := TBounds.Create;
end;

Get the current map position:

  WebGMaps1.GetMapBounds;

Save the current map position:

procedure TForm1.WebGMaps1BoundsRetrieved(Sender: TObject; Bounds: TBounds);
begin
  MapBounds.NorthEast.Latitude := Bounds.NorthEast.Latitude;
  MapBounds.NorthEast.Longitude := Bounds.NorthEast.Longitude;
  MapBounds.SouthWest.Latitude := Bounds.SouthWest.Latitude;
  MapBounds.SouthWest.Longitude := Bounds.SouthWest.Longitude;

  MapZoom := WebGMaps1.MapOptions.ZoomMap;
end;

Load a saved map position:

  WebGMaps1.MapZoomTo(MapBounds);
  WebGMaps1.MapOptions.ZoomMap := MapZoom;

TAdvSmoothListBox
How to get the selected items from TAdvSmoothlistbox when the property Multiselect = true;

TDBPlanner
MultiDay Events in TPlanner and TDBPlanner

Multiday items will (by design - like in Outlook) be displayed in the header for each day where the event occurs.

You can do this by setting the property PlannerItem.InHeader :=true.
This means that for a non databound planner, you should add an inheader item for each day where the event occurs. In the TPlanner this can’t happen automatically as there is no imposed fixed relationship between positions (columns) and days or resources you use.
Please make sure to increase Planner.header.Height so items can be shown there.

For the DB-aware TDBPlanner, this is handled automatically. TDBPlanner will display the items that span multiple days in the header for each day where the item occurs. It will display this as an item in the header on each day. It can indicate in the caption (when you set PlannerItem.CaptionType = ctTime) the start/end time of the item.

Adding an element at runtime to the TTMSFMXTableView

To add an element at runtime, the shape that is connected to the TTMSFMXTableViewItem must exist. The shape can be returned using the Shape function on the TTMSFMXTableViewItem:

var
  shp: TTMSFMXTableViewItemShape;

shp := TMSFMXTableView1.Items[0].Shape;

To add a element / control to that shape, simply create that element and add it as a child of the item.

r := TRectangle.Create(shp);
shp.AddObject(r);
