Getting Started: Customizing the DevExpress FMX Grid to Display a Simple Table Yes, we know we have to ship more editors and once again, usage and the marketplace will determine how quickly we allocate resources in this area. Obviously, this is a tiny subset of what we offer for our VCL Grid. Presently, we ship 4 in-cell data editors: These include:Īs you might expect, our FMX Grid will allow end-users to edit data, append new records, delete and navigate through records as needed. Our FMX Grid (currently available as a community tech preview), ships with many of the features found in its VCL counterpart. In so doing, our FMX Data Grid appears as a native control on each target platform (Windows, macOS and Android). To deliver a truly cross-platform Data Grid, we used standard primitives wherever possible. Starting from scratch was the only option… Cross platform This is one reason it took us so long to deliver the product (this of course is not the only reason).Īs much as we would have liked to port the QuantumGrid to FM, our VCL Grid relies too heavily on GDI/GDI+ and low-level Windows API calls. It has been designed and optimized for FireMonkey and cross-platform development. Our FMX Data Grid is not a port of the ExpressQuantumGrid – it is an entirely new product with an entirely new code base. Ok – with that disclaimer out of the way, let’s get into it and take a closer look at our FMX Grid. We’ll certainly work with you and do everything reasonable to improve the Grid over time. We don’t have any magic bullets in this regard. We also want to make it clear that it’s going to take time for our FMX Data Grid to reach the level of maturity of its VCL counterpart. The marketplace will ultimately decide what happens next – if everyone moves to FireMonkey, we’ll be sure to follow. Our current goal is to ship as many features as humanly possible for a few key products. Yes, we want to have a full FMX product portfolio, but we would be telling a lie if this is in the cards. Though we want to include every single VCL product and include every single VCL feature in our FMX offering, we have limited resources and are always short on time. Before we get into the details, a quick word or two about the role FMX will play in our Delphi/RAD Studio product strategy. Yes, this is not a misprint – our FMX Data Grid is finally available for download.
