TMS VCL UI Pack 

Intro

We are proud to announce version 12 of the TMS VCL UI Pack with a lot of new and improved features. In v12, we added a new TDBAdvMultiEditButton component, a couple of new features to TCurvyPanel as well as some improvements in high DPI handling in TAdvStringGrid. We also fixed an important issue with SVG class registration and the way SVG is picked up at designtime. Last but not least, v12 introduces a brand new component: TAdvPDFViewer: a native high performance PDF Viewer component for VCL.

High Performance

TAdvPDFViewer is built on top of the native Windows APIs for converting a PDF page to an image. This all happens asynchronously, so the main thread of the application is not blocked while the PDF document is loaded. To get started, drop an instance of TAdvPDFViewer on the form and set the FileName property.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  AdvPDFViewer1.FileName := 'C:\MyPath\RAD-Studio-Guide-for-Managers.pdf';
end;

3 different modes

TAdvPDFViewer comes with 3 different display modes: single page, double page & continuous scrolling mode. 

Thumbnails

The optional thumbnail list shows each page in a smaller version. To show the thumbnails, set

AdvPDFViewer1.Options.Thumbnails := True;
