TMS FMX WebGMaps
TTMSFMXWebGMaps authentication

It is recommended to use an API Key to authenticate your application with the Google Maps JavaScript API service. Retrieving an API Key is free and can be obtained at the Google Developers Console. Instructions can be found on this page: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

Make sure to enable the following APIs in Google’s Console:
- Google Maps JavaScript API
- Google Maps Directions API
- Google Maps Geocoding API
- Google Maps Geolocation API
- Google Maps Elevation API

The API Key should be assigned to the APIKey property, one time before the map is loaded, in the Form’s OnCreate event of an application.

Example:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TMSFMXWebGMaps1.APIKey := ''myAPIKey''; 
end;

When using the TTMSFMXWebGMapsGeocoding and/or TTMSFMXWebGMapsReverseGeocoding controls the API Key should be assigned the respective APIKey properties as well.

Example:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TMSFMXWebGMapsGeocoding1.APIKey := ''myAPIKey'';
  TMSFMXWebGMapsReverseGeocoding1.APIKey := ''myAPIKey'';
end;

TMS VCL WebGMaps
TWebGMaps authentication

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  WebGMaps1.APIKey := 'myAPIKey'; 
end;

When using the TWebGMapsGeocoding and/or TWebGMapsReverseGeocoding controls the API Key should be assigned the respective APIKey properties as well.

Example:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  WebGMapsGeocoding1.APIKey := 'myAPIKey';
  WebGMapsReverseGeocoding1.APIKey := 'myAPIKey';
end;

TAdvResponsiveList
Creating your own responsive list item class

Descend from TAdvResponsiveList and override the function GetItemClass:

  TAdvResponsiveListEx = class(TAdvResponsiveList)
  protected
    function GetItemClass: TCollectionItemClass; override;
  end;

Via this function return your custom class that descends from TResponsiveListItem:

  TResponsiveListItemEx = class(TResponsiveListItem)
  // add any property / functionality / extension you want to the TResponsiveListItem
  end;

function TAdvResponsiveListEx.GetItemClass: TCollectionItemClass;
begin
  Result := TResponsiveListItemEx;
end;

How to use TVrBanner

TVrBanner can auto-scroll a bitmap at runtime. Load the bitmap you want to scroll via VrBranner.Bitmap and set the direction VrBanner.Direction. The speed of scrolling is determined by VrBanner.TimeInterval

TMS MQTT
Sending and receiving images with TMS MQTT

The following code shows you how to send a selected image to a specific topic on the broker:

procedure TMQTTExampleForm.SetProfilePictureButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  fs: TFileStream;
  payload: TBytes;
begin
  SelectProfileImageDialog.Filter := ''JPG images|*.jpg'';
  if (SelectProfileImageDialog.Execute) then
  begin
    fs := TFileStream.Create(SelectProfileImageDialog.FileName, fmOpenRead);
    try
      SetLength(payload, fs.Size);
      fs.Read(payload[0], fs.Size);
      MQTTClient.Publish(''myapp/profile/image'', payload);
    finally
      fs.Free;
    end;
  end;
end;

On the receiving end, this code snippet can be used to get the file and save it back to the file system:

procedure TMQTTExampleForm.PublishReceived(ASender: TObject; APacketID: Word; ATopic: string; APayload: TBytes);
var
  fs: TBytesStream;
begin
  if (ATopic = ''myapp/profile/image'') then
  begin
    fs := TBytesStream.Create(APayload);
    try
      fs.SaveToFile(''c:\temp\mqtt\profile-image.jpg'');
    finally
      fs.Free;
    end;
  end;
end;

TMS FNC UI Pack
Programmatically changing the scroll position in the TTMSFNCPlanner

You can programmatically change the vertical scroll position with:

  TMSFNCPlanner1.VerticalScrollBar.Position := scrollpos

If the Planner can also scroll horizontal, the horizontal scroll position can be changed with:

  TMSFNCPlanner1.HorizontalScrollBar.Position := scrollpos;

TMS FNC UI Pack
How to configure TTMSFNCPlanner with a custom time line

There are 2 ways you can achieve this. You can add a disabled range of dates that cannot be selected, but they will be visible. You can achieve this by implementing the OnIsDateTimeDisabled event.

The second way is to use the pmCustom planner mode that can be used in combination with CustomDateTimes list as demonstrated in the following sample.

TMSFNCPlanner1.BeginUpdate;

TMSFNCPlanner1.Mode := pmCustom;
for I := 0 to 8 do
  TMSFNCPlanner1.CustomDateTimes.Add(IncMinute(EncodeDateTime(2017, 2, 22, 11, 0, 0, 0), 15 * I));

for I := 0 to 9 do
  TMSFNCPlanner1.CustomDateTimes.Add(IncMinute(EncodeDateTime(2017, 2, 22, 14, 0, 0, 0), 20 * I));

TMSFNCPlanner1.TimeLine.DisplayUnitFormat := ''h mm AMPM'';

TMSFNCPlanner1.TimeLineAppearance.LeftSize := 80;

TMSFNCPlanner1.EndUpdate;

VaComm.SettingsStore.Key := ''.\mycomsettings.ini''; 
VaComm.SettingsStore.Sections := ''COMPARAMS''; 
VaComm.SettingsStore.Location := slINIFile;

Do actual save & load of the settings with:

VaComm.SaveSettings;
VaComm.LoadSettings;

TAdvOfficePager
Draw attention to a tab in TAdvOfficePager to make it blink

To do this, make sure the tab is visible when it is not selected by setting AdvOfficePager1.ShowNonSelectedTabs = true and then set custom tab appearance colors for normal & selected state of the tab with:

   // make sure the default style color is used
  AdvOfficePager12.UseTabAppearance := false;
   // initialization of colors
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.Color := clRed;
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorTo := clRed;
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorMirror := clRed;
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorMirrorTo := clRed;

  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorSelected := clRed;
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorSelectedTo := clRed;
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorMirrorSelected := clRed;
  AdvOfficePager12.TabAppearance.ColorMirrorSelectedTo := clRed;

To draw attention to the tab, now let the tab switch between the default style color and the custom color via a timer:

procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if DoAttention then
    AdvOfficePager12.UseTabAppearance := not AdvOfficePager12.UseTabAppearance
 else
     AdvOfficePager12.UseTabAppearance := false;
end;
