What TMS component users are saying ...


All-time coolest comment winner:


Dear Sir/Madam.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to uninstall and return the TMS Component Pack we recently purchased. It’s just too darn good.

What are my clients going to say when I can now implement a whole screed of additional functionality so quickly and easily? How are they going to react when, all of a sudden, their applications look 10 times better?

And there are so many components! It’s going to take weeks, if not months, to play with them all.

It’s criminal, I tell you. You shouldn’t be able to sell a component package this good.

I guess I’ll hang onto it a little while longer, and try to figure out how to explain it to our clients.

Keep up the good work ;-)

Comment of the month

We have used the TMS Component Pack for around 6 years or so and hands down the best components that we have purchased from any vendor. We use the TAdvStringGrid components, the Web Update Components and many others in each of our software programs that we build and we have always received superb support and TMS Software is always committed to excellence by providing constant feature enhancements and updates.

Hi-I just wanted to say how pleased I am having used your grids. They are just so awesome in speed and everything you can think of is built right in. So much easier and faster than anything I used in VB.Net. Just great! I think you have done a great job with these and just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work.
And the price is a deal in itself. Way cheaper than the VB stuff we bought here last year.
And of course, with Delphi 2006, its a combo you just cant beat.
Tom - by email

I would like to congratulate you and the team with an excellent set of components and customer service with no equal.  I have bought a few subscription packages from other component manufacturers as well and I must say that TMSSoftware surpasses them all by your speedy and frequent releases and activity on your products.
I actually can’t keep up with the releases and new features you keep on adding to your products.  It is good to know that there is a component manufacturer who are as serious about their customers as we are about ours.

Getting email tech support in 7 minutes is unique experience for me. You are the best!
Dmitry Mikhilov via email

I used to be using TMS stuff for Delphi and C++ Builder.
Now I use the Borland for TMS!
Cheers!
Hiroshi Nishimura via email

TMS software components are the most reliable VCL I used ever and I wish to this company to achieve more success.
Mahmoud Baalbaki via email

P.S. If you ever get tired of TMS, come do support for us.  ;-) You rock!
Bill Pirkle via email

To say I am impressed is an understatement. Thank you for your help, I think the TMS component pack provides unparalleled functionality and is exceptional value for money.
Congratulations on an excellent product.
Lester Coe via email

I am a registered user of several TMS software packages. For the longest time I have been using the TMS Grid to do everything that the TStringGrid never could think of doing. At work we ran into a problem that would require some features that would have taken me hours and hours to implement by myself on a TStringGrid (I am the only developer in my group) and we really had no time or anyone to pay for it. That was when I suggested the TAdvGrid. We immediately bought the whole component pack. That was back last December. Ever since then, we've used and reused the product over and over again in many different projects and have saved a great deal of money as well as time by it's use. My boss has been even more impressed by the fact that every update includes newer and better updates.
Joseph Wilcock via email

Once again we would like to say how nice your components are and flexible and useful, easy to program and making an application friendly for use.
Nikolai Todorov via email

P.S. My Boss is very happy with the Planner Components. Best purchase he's made this year he reckons.
Andy via email

I don't know if you get many complements but I am constantly impressed with your tools. We use many of them in every application developed for the company I work for and unlike many, you have exceeded my expectations in both the tool and documentation.
Larry Wainwright via email

I'm sure it is no secret to you that excellent support results in loyal customers. I'm quickly becoming a member of your fan club. Keep up the good work!
Bill D. Pirkle, World Chess Network

Your grid does everything but make coffee.<g> It is truly impressive as a stringgrid.
Germain, via TMS newsgroups

I am very impressed with the flexibility of your DBPlanner. As I am just writing a test application to make sure all work as I planned, it does so far. I tried VisualPlanIt and could not get the same flexibility. None of the other components suggested does the things the same way.
Petrus van Breda via email

I work with Delphi since the first version, and searching for components is a hard work (I think you know).  I've tested tons of components, even the "best-sellers", in my eyes, there are two things importants to look for a component: the "look" (for visual components of course), and the most important: It need to be easy to understand, to programming, and to find information when it is needed (help/manual/demos)
In all of these points your job is really good! Congratulations for you and your team.
Luiz Nelson S Gonçalves, Brasil via email

We use TAdvStringGrid in all our C++Builder applications, which are used in over 55 countries worldwide, and we find it invaluable. TAdvStringGrid is flexible and full of great features, yet remains easy to use and represents exceptional value for money. We have found that TAdvStringGrid is continually developing and having useful new features added, and when we require support, the TMS Software Team are always quick to answer our questions with advice and code examples. We really do find TAdvStringGrid an excellent product and would recommend it to anyone.

TMS HAVE THE MOST IMPRESSIVE COMPONENTS FOR DELPHI: GOOD JOB !
Mauricio Piao via email

Just to express my (so far) complete satisfaction with TMS Component Pack. I just purchased it, it arrived very fast, service was prompt and polite, emails were answered within minutes. The installation into BCB5 Pro worked great, and the components themselves seemed to work for a few quickie tests. Browsing the documentation further, there are some great components in this package.
Martin Fensome in Borland newsgroups

TMS is a great product and the service is one of the best I have seen if not the best.
Santiago Calderon in Borland newsgroups

The additional facilities the new version of the grid has given me has been a godsend, well worth the asking price and keep up the good work. Also, it's great to see and author responding to users questions so quickly. There's a few companies I've bought components from who should take a lesson from you in customer service.
Kenvyn Davies, UK via email

I'm very pleased with the TMS Component Pack too. The support is excellent and the components are great.
Rodrigo Gomez in Borland newsgroups

IntraWeb 5.1/TMS combo is simply awesome...
I had really fallen behind on the new features... Now that I am using them, I'm as excited about Intraweb 5.1 and TMS's addons as I was
almost a year ago when I first discovered them !
JoeH via AtoZed newsgroup

That goes for me too... I'm building wonderful web applications I could not even have thought about before getting my hands on this great combo!!
Fabio Dalle Ave

TMS's Planner components are excellent. I have one running against an Interbase backend with real-time appointment updating across LAN/WAN. My app manages multiple resources, day and week views, printing, conflicting appointments and a whole host of other stuff. I tried several before plumping for TMS's offering and am delighted with it.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend TMS components, buy the component pack and I promise you you won't regret it. (Keep it quiet but I honestly don't know how they make money at the prices they charge.. get in quick before they realise they're undercharging :-)
Richard via Borland 3rd party tools newsgroup

The way the persistence stuff in TAdvLUEdit and other advanced edit controls is working is just so nice that it, well it's so nice that I just can't even come up with a suitable description. The best I can say is that there should be a law that no entry component can be without it!
Mitch Godfrey,
Wasatch Data Inc

I can’t begin to tell you how FANTASTIC these components are. I have only touched the surface of what’s there and already my mind is ticking over with the extra power your TMSComponent pack has given me. MIND BLOWING, I can honestly say these are the best set of components I have ever been so lucky to purchase.

Phil Read,
www.vizualweb.com

I bought your component pack recently and I have to admit that out of all the component libraries I have, yours is by far the best one (at least you and I seem to think in the say way. i.e: needed features, behavior, etc...) So, congratulations on a great product!! I wish I have known about your component pack a year ago. If you go to BORCON this year, I will buy you a beer. :-)
President Healthcare Integrated Solutions, Inc, USA

I was going to tell you what a great component packs you have, but then I saw SO many people have made so many great compliments, that now I don't know what to say. I guess I just have to become another customer of yours!
B. Hayat

I bought many component collections in the last years. Yours is the only multi-purpose library I continue to use with Delphi 6, I stopped using all the others and replaced them with some freeware comps.
A. Nolte, Germany

Man - your service is great ! Thanks for help and better-then-schumacher-response-speed !
m.graefe, maXXimum gmbh, Germany

There is no doubt in my mind. You guys are Dammned Good. The TMS Grid Pack has to be the best development pack I have EVER seen.
Well done. Again.

Andy Duggan, Australia

Once again - thanks guys! I am truly impressed with the prompt replies to my many questions and comments. I have been so impressed with each and every functionality of every one of the TMS components I have used in my application. With your components added capability, Borland seriously needs to think about packaging your product with Delphi instead of their own. Keep up the awesome work!!
James Rue, USA

First, I've bought and have been using your component pack a while now, and I like it! I hardly use standard components anymore. So there's a feather in your cap. Congrats!
Evert Haasdijk, KiQ

SoftIni's BoxSys v2.0 version includes many TMS components. TMS components are great and useful. They enhance my application and save me lot of works. Other than the serie of fully configurable grids, listbox etc...i really appreciate those components with HTML caption and text. WEBUpdate simple work great!
Fernand Senecal, SoftIni

AdvStringGrid, the Swiss Army Knife of Grids :-)
Graham Wideman, USA

At long last a data aware planner that I can use :-)
One that does what is promised and is both powerful and straighforward to use.
Congratulations to all at TMS Software. I have tried and registered two previously ,I guess most us have tried before and been disappointed, but this TMS component has got the requirements EXACTLY right.
It is easy to understand the underlying concept and linking to ones own database is a breeze. I understood the demo within 15 minutes and had started my own project knowing HOW the majority of things worked within an hour - within 2 hours I had a workingsystem :-)
I am looking forward to building everything from personal diaries to resource planning systems. Now I can deliver planning systems that my customers want, when they want it and know they will be reliable !! Congrats again . Well done
Steven J Healey, Delphi Prefix Registry

Just wanted to send you kudos on the TMS Components. Their value has more than paid for themselves in our projects, and we're heavily using your TPlanner and TAdvStringgrid components. I can't tell you how many man-hours have been saved, and the cost of registering the suite is more than reasonable. The availability of the source code is by far the most valuable service you provide, since we can't use closed components due to security concerns.
C. Marrero, USA

A few weeks ago I asked for recommendations on custom string grid components for Borland C++Builder 5.0.  I investigated a lot of grids and decided on the AdvStringGrid from TMS Software
www.tmssoftware.com and I wanted to tell the list why.  The AdvStringGrid is actively being developed by TMS while many of the other grids have not been updated for a long time. The AdvStringGrid has built in functions for saving grid contents to file and loading the file back into the grid and also has OLE drag and drop features. Having these features built into the grid has saved me a huge amount of programming hours. It also has a large list of other features which may save me just as much time later.  So make sure you evaluate this grid before you purchase an extra grid component.
Patrick via Borland's C++Builder third party products newsgroup

I must say, you people at TMS are VERY FAST with your support, even on Sundays and that to someone who has not yet registered. I wish some other components authers will copy your style. You have my compliments!!!
Piet Henning, Netherlands

Your TPlanner component is excellent and it made our application as one of the best schedulers.
Joel Cuyos, USA

Congratulations on your efficiency and customer relations. I have been very happy with your product and now I am impressed with the way you treat your customers as well (not that I wasn't impressed before).
Mark Dutch, Australia

Thank you very much for all the updates you continue to make to the TMS Component Pack! These are some of the most impressive components I've ever used and you just keep adding to them!
Tim Hendriksen, USA

With the TMS package my applications acquire instantly a high level of professionalism because each TMS component has already inherited of "the" property making the difference. But the best is the way you can exchange information with the TMS Team, this is "efficient", simply because the way the TMS components are designed is an interactive process, not only for the "birth" of new components but also for the unceasing improvement of existing ones.
All these things make me a registered user encouraging other Borland users to try TMS.
Hocq Patrick, Belgium

I have received, and investigated your TMS Component Pack.
I want to make a remark about it.
WOW!
I am really impressed by it!
Konrad Swart, Netherlands

As always, I truly appreciate your components and your great support. I would also like to let you know that there hasn't been a project that I havn't used one of your components since my purchase... A great value at $95
Kelly Tremblay, Jefferson National Labn, US

Many thanks for the latest upgrade to AdvGrid, particularly the CreatePicture/CreateFilePicture methods. AdvGrid was already the best grid component around and the latest enhancements put it way ahead of all the others. Congratulations also on the rest of the TMS suite
Robin Beste, UK

Now that I'm using your HTML-based components (extremely useful), your planner control (awesome) and your web update control (very impressive), the TMS component pack has evolved into one of the most useful and unique (something which is becoming very difiicult to find.. all component libraries seem to try do the same thing in different ways...) libraries in my component arsenal.
Keith Blows, South Africa

FYI: We absolutely *love* the WebUpdate component, and you people have the *correct* attitude: developers don't want to have to include any further dll's, ocx's, or other "bloatware"-related stuff. We want a simple, efficient, clean solution that works, and that's what we get from TMS!
Noah T. Rowles,
Iolo Technologies

I just wanted to say thanks again for doing such a great job with the TMS Pack set of Delphi components. Not only is it a well done set of components but you've always been great with support and fixes.
Scott Bussinger, US


I've just stumbled upon your component collection due to a mention (albeit a small one) in the Borland.com newsgroups.  What can I say...I had just started really trying to use a simple TStringGrid.  Upon finding your TAdvStringGrid I never looked back.  What a FANTASTIC component. 
Cris Gallegos, US

TAdvStringGrid is the most fabulous grid I've ever had.
Salvador Godoy C., Mexico.

In case it helps anybody, the component I found is TAdvStringGrid. It does all I wanted and much more. I was getting useful results within 2 hours of downloading it. Some of the additional features I hadn't thought of but have used anyway. The application has a significantly improved interface inside 1 day.
Steve Mullarkey, Australia

First of all congratulations! You're are doing very good work with your components. I discovered your TAdvStringGrid a few days ago and I can't think of using any other grid anymore in my programs.
Pedro Panos, Spain

Thank you for such a wonderful product. I can't believe I've been using other stringgrids for so long.
Kevin Tupper, US

Just wanted to let you know that WebData works like a charm.... it's saved me a lot of time!  And time is money.
Steve Kellock, US 

The email was a genuine query but it was also a test as to how quick you were to respond to user questions and you passed that with flying colours.  I am very impressed with your company and the quality of the controls you have to offer.
Warren Weber, Australia

TPlanner really rocks!   You are all rockstars!
Niclas Astrom, Sweden 

One of the best components sets on the market. What Delphi is all about
Randy Leigh, US

Thanks for such a good grid. There is no way I could have used any other grid for what my user wanted.
Mark J. Brindle, Australia

Your components are the best I've found on the net! You put in just the right features, just as I think of them myself.
Olav Lindkjølen, Norway

Purchasing the component pack was a fantastic deal that I do not regret. You are always adding great features and enhancements and it is much appreciated. ThankYou!  
John Mondry, US


Thanks, you have the best support I have experienced!
Rob McCormack, US

For some time now I am registered user of your TMS component pack. I haven't used all of them yet, but I am very satisfied with the one I have used for now. Of course, TAdvStringGrid is a pearl, but also the smaller ones like CABFile and ShellDlg are real time savers.
Marc Vankeer, Belgium

Try TAdvStringGrid from www.tmssoftware.com I find it absolutely indespensible...and for the price, its hard to find anything matching.
Doc, in Borland Newsgroups

All in all TAdvStringGrid works fine and is very powerfull in features. Support is excellent.
Miha, in Borland Newsgroups

I continue to be very satisfied with your software. Very recommendable!
Hans L. Werschner, Germany

Thanks for a great component, though! It's worth every cent.
Peter Jukel, South Africa

About TAdvListView, supernice, I really have to say it...This is the best Listview I ever came across... Nice done guys !
Joakim Krassman, Sweden

I was very impressed with the speed of your grid as some of the files being loaded are > 30000 rows, the performance is still very good. Although I don't use many of the newer advanced features I have found it to be a very solid work horse.
Huw Reddick, UK

Some comments in other languages ...

J’ai commencé par utiliser le composant AdvStringGrid, car j’avais besoin d’une grille qui permette d’afficher des images, de créer des nœuds… A l’usage ce composant s’avère ultra-complet, je ne lui ai pas encore trouvé de manques. Malgré des besoins complexes, j’ai toujours trouvé LA solution dans l’advStringGrid.
Petit à petit, j’ai utilisé d’autres composants (DBAdvGrid, TWebUpdate et bien d’autres), à chaque fois j’ai gagné un temps fou et obtenu des résultats bien meilleurs que ce que j’attendais au départ.
Enfin, quel plaisir de recevoir des réponses du support technique par e-mail au plus tard le lendemain, souvent en moins d’une heure !
Nicolas Voillot, France

TMS Planner werkt flawless ! In het verleden heb ik met verschillende planbord componenten gewerkt en ik moet zeggen dat TMS ze allemaal overstijgt
Hertwig van Zwietering, Nederland

Bij veel softwareproducten kantelt het aanvankelijke enthousiasme spoedig naar cynisme. Na een jaar werken met TMS-producten gebruiken wij en onze eindgebruikers met toenemend plezier de TMS-componenten. Met name de StringGrid en HTML-georienteerde componenten blinken uit door creativiteit, stabiliteit en performance. De reactietijd op vragen en overleg is onovertroffen kort !
C. de Goey, AG&P Software B.V., Nederland

Zuerst einmal HERZLICHEN GLÜCKWUNSCH zu euren TMS-Komponenten. Wie kann man Delphi proffesionel nutzen, ohne TMS Komponenten .... unmöglich ..
das sollte inzwischen auch Borland bemerken.
CLUESOFT, Hubert Hutt , Germany

J'ai essayé et j'utilise le composant TAdvStringGrid de TMS software et il est simplement génial.
D.Z., France in Remarq newsgroups

Ihre Componenten sind toll. 

Alfred Herrmann, Germany

D'abord bravo pour vos composants !!! Ils sont parmis les plus riches du marché !!!!
JC Bremond, France

"Os components TMS são verdadeiras jóias, tanto por sua facilidade de uso como pelo excelente suport técnico provido pela aquipe de desenvolvedores. Vale a pena registrar !!!"

Ich möchte Ihnen ein hammergroßes megafettes Lob aussprechen :) Ihre Komponenten sind nunmal einfach eine der besten. Ich bin sehr von Ihren Komponenten überzeugt. Ich programmiere damit sehr gerne.

We are extremely pleased to have received the
Torry's Top award today for our components.

Therefore we want to say thank you to Torry for this award as well as for his fantastic job running
the greatest Delphi site.

We also want to say thanks to all our users who provided us with so much feedback and who
helped giving requests and remarks for providing the right features in our components.
We completed the first Delphi 7 Summer Camp yesterday after a week long of 28 sessions on advanced topics. I decided to spent a whole session on TMSIWPRO. The response was extremely positive; all the attendees enjoyed and were extremely impressed with the 40+ components, especially the TIWDBAdvWebGrid. The message was, if you are going to use IntraWeb, you have to have the TMS components, you get a lot more than what you pay for with these components
