![]() ![]() The good old problem of missing graphics continue – they have made a new Windows 10 styleset, but it is full of bugs – TSpinEdit miss the right border, text is always to the left and look stupid.There are no button icons for Windows, you have to make them your self. ![]() There is no connectivity which can be used reliably and with predictable behaviour database, database drivers, TCP connections, everything having to do with data snap etc etc. On top of that, about everything except the raw program code you write if “dirty programming”, changed from version to version. None of the above is unfortunately in place with XE7, having spend 2 months just to conclude had I started in another IDE, I would have been finished long time ago with a fairly simple App I have coded already in other environment. “And still building the UI with FireMonkey would be much productive than VS or XCode.” That is only if Firemonkey works, it is documented, the features you need are there, and most important that it is reliable. So I say Firemonkey is ready for commercial use in 3-4 years from now. They have made it so difficult to change font colors and background colors at run time, that you almost suspect they have done their very best to make it as impossible as possible for you to make apps. If you happen to code in C, documentation is 90% absent, after days of research of how to do a simple task, you finally get the message “not implemented”. ![]() ![]() Firemonkey XE7 cannot be used for anything involving drawing, gaming etc – only very basic and simple apps can be developed. ![]()
