It uses the UIPrintInteractionController that looks for a printer with AirPrint support.

TAdvSmoothDock
TAdvSmoothDock and MDI forms

TAdvSmoothDock is designed to be used on non-MDI applications. The TAdvSmoothDock is not compatible with MDI forms.

The TAdvSmoothDock hooks on the main form so it can be moved, activated, deactivated according to the main form events. MDI child windows / frames and forms called from the main form are not supported.

TMS mCL
Mixing FireMonkey controls and TMS mCL controls

In this article we try to give a technical background of the differences between FireMonkey framework controls and TMS mCL controls. With this background it should be easier to understand the limitations and pitfalls with mixing FireMonkey framework controls and TMS mCL controls: https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/fmxmcl.asp

TPlanner
How to create a TPlanner with Planner.Mode.PlannerType = plTimeLine, with on the left side the time line and in the header the date

The non DB-aware Planner will not configure the header this way automatically. So, you need to programmatically fill the headers with the date information.

This code snippet shows how you can do this on a default Planner:

var
  i: integer;
begin
  planner1.Mode.Date := Now;

  planner1.Header.Captions.Clear;
  planner1.Header.Captions.Add('');

  for i := 0 to planner1.Positions - 1 do
  begin
    planner1.Header.Captions.Add(DateToStr(Now + i));
  end;

  with planner1.CreateItem do
  begin
    ItemStartTime := Now + 1;
    ItemEndTime := Now + 1 + encodetime(2,0,0,0);
  end;
end;

TAdvSmoothPanel
The rounded corners of the TAdvSmoothPanel are not transparent?

The Transparent corners are only fully transparent when a descendant of TGraphicControl is below the TAdvSmoothPanel.

TMS VCL WebGMaps
The TWebGMapsDirectionList and TWebGMapsLookupEdit components are missing

The TWebGMapsDirectionList and TWebGMapsLookupEdit components are only available for Delphi XE / C++Builder XE or newer versions. Both components need to perform JSON parsing and use the JSON parser that ships with Delphi / C++Builder. Only from Delphi XE / C++Builder XE or newer, this JSON parser is capable of reliably parsing Google's JSON responses.

TMS VCL Cloud Pack
Supported Delphi & C++Builder versions

TMS Cloud Pack requires Delphi XE / C++Builder XE or newer. Internally TMS Cloud Pack heavily relies on the JSON parser that ships with Delphi and only from Delphi XE / C++Builder XE or newer, this JSON parser is capable of reliably parsing JSON data from modern JSON REST services.

How to add channels to TVrScope?

Via the vrScope.Channels collection, you can add the desired nr. of channels.
For each channel you have added, the event OnNeedData will be triggered when new data for display is needed.
The Channel parameter indicates for which channel you need to return data via the Value parameter.

TAdvStringGrid
How to format Dates?

The date is formatted with the global date format setting (that is picked up from the operating system) You can override this by setting the global variable ShortDateFormat: string for this.

TMS VCL Cloud Pack
How to post to a Facebook page

Following example shows how you can post to a Facebook page:

  AdvFacebook1.GetPages;
  if AdvFacebook1.PageList.Count > 0 then
    AdvFacebook1.Post('Hello world', '', '', AdvFacebook1.PageList[0]);

Please make sure the page you want to post to is in the PageList collection after calling GetPages and that you have specified the correct index.

TMS FMX UI Pack
TTMSFMXGrid/TTMSFMXTableView: Displaying more than 200 rows

If your application runs into an issue that limits the amount of rows in a TTMSFMXGrid or TTMSFMXTableView component connected with LiveBindings, you need to set the BufferSize on the database db link to -1 which will automatically load all available records.

TAdvCheckTreeView
Getting all checked nodes in the TAdvCheckTreeView

Following code snippet shows how to loop through the treeview nodes and get all checked nodes:

var
  i: integer;
  tn: TTreeNode;
begin
  for i := 0 to advchecktreeview1.Items.Count - 1 do
  begin
    tn := AdvCheckTreeView1.Items[i];
    if AdvCheckTreeView1.Checked[tn] then
      listbox1.Items.Add(tn.Text);
  end;
end;

TMS VCL WebGMaps
Creating a polygon in C++

This code snippet shows how to create a triangle polygon on WebGMaps with C++. First a path is created, the three points of the triangle are added and with the path, a polygon is added and created on the map:

{
  TPolygonItem *pol;
  TPath *pt;
  TPathItem *pi;

  pt = new TPath();

  pi = pt->Add();
  pi->Latitude = 50;
  pi->Longitude = 2;

  pi = pt->Add();
  pi->Latitude = 50;
  pi->Longitude = 3;

  pi = pt->Add();
  pi->Latitude = 55;
  pi->Longitude = 2.5;


  pol = WebGMaps1->Polygons->Add(false, false, false, pt, clRed, clYellow, 255, 255, 2, true, 255);

  WebGMaps1->CreateMapPolygon(pol->Polygon);
}

TRTFLabel
Using the design-time editor at runtime

To use the TRTFLabel design-time editor at runtime, add the unit FRTFBox to the uses list and add following code:

var
  rtfbox: TRTFBox;
  ms: TStringStream;
begin
  rtfbox := TRTFBox.Create(Self);
  ms := TStringStream.Create;
  try
    ms.WriteString(rtflabel1.RichText);
    ms.Position := 0;
    rtfbox.RTFControl.Lines.LoadFromStream(ms);
    if rtfbox.ShowModal = mrOK then
    begin
      ms.Clear;
      rtfbox.RTFControl.Lines.SaveToStream(ms);
      rtflabel1.RichText := ms.DataString;
    end;
  finally
    ms.Free;
    rtfbox.Free;
  end;
end;
