TMS FNC UI Pack v2.3 is here and brings 5 new UI controls

Sunday, September 16, 2018

We continue on our mission to make TMS FNC UI controls not only the UI control set that you can put to work everywhere as Delphi/Pascal developer but also the most comprehensive UI control set for your toolkit.
For those not yet familiar with 'FNC' controls, these are what we call Framework Neutral Components. This means that these UI controls can be simultaneously used with different frameworks, are fully cross platform, can be used from Delphi, C++Builder and Lazarus and most spectacularly can be used to create web applications with TMS WEB Core.

What's new in TMS FNC UI Pack v2.3:

Moreover, when connected to a dataset, it will allow immediate viewing and editing of all fields in the associated dataset.



  • Automatic retrieval of published properties of an object
  • Various inplace editors such as a combobox for enum values, or checkgroup dropdown picker for set properties.
  • Events for customization, filtering of properties and property values
  • Can handle class properties, collection properties, set properties ...
  • Datasource support for direct data editing

TTMSFNCTaskDialog

  • Custom buttons with the option to turn them into command links
  • Auto close after timeout

  • Various panel styles including HTML formatted text, images, progress bar and more
  • Optional auto size, button and hint per panel

TTMSFNCSignatureCapture

Allow the end user to draw a signature on touch screens and the component can capture this signature either as image file or as scaleable vector data.



  • Save signature to a file, memory stream or an image
  • Load signature from a file or memory stream
  • Customizable pen, clear icon and text
