Uwe Raabe Yes, that's a different usage of $R. I think in XE6 is already supports indicating a platform, for filtering purposes (the resource gets included only in that platform). Now XE7 will really take advantage of it in the IDE, though!
Marco Cantù Essentially the mulit-device-designer is a cut down way of Viusal Form Inheritance. Which in itself is a very clever idea. But I am struggling with some of the decisions made in its implementation (e.g. all components are back propagated to the master view). TLDR, maybe I will make it to the Delphi-Tage, then I would love to discuss it with you in more detail.
Sure we can discuss it. It uses the same differential streaming, but the architecture is different. I mean, if you want Virtual Form Inheritance you can use it. MDD is supposed to be easier to use and more direct... but it has limitations in the fact all components must be in all views.
Platform scope restriction?
ReplyDeleteSecond statement is Delphi XE7 coming :)
ReplyDeleteI think it works on XE6... but not 100% sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks useful as Delphi gains more cross-platform ability.

ReplyDeleteIn case you were wondering, now that the product has been announced, this is one of the technical foundations of the multi-device designer.
