Can anyone recommend me a good substitute for the TGrid of Delphi FMX.
Can anyone recommend me a good substitute for the TGrid of Delphi FMX.
I buyed this one: TMS Pack for Firemonkey, but its WORST and more complex that the original option and without documentation.
I need please, the experience of anyone that use it, not an enumeration of options that can be found making a google search. (That efectivally I made previously of write this post)
Thanks.

In what features are you especially interessted?
ReplyDeleteHave you got in touch with TMS to discuss what's so bad with it? I'm sure they'd appreciate the feedback.

ReplyDelete- Cells that have a button inside.
- Cells with CheckBoxes, that run well.
- Possibility of deactivate some rows, based on a value.
- Possibility of Drag a Row over any other form.
- Possibility of Drop things and respond, by program, the object dropped.
etc...
Documentation for the fmxgrid of tms http://www.tmssoftware.biz/download/manuals/TMSFMXGridDevGuide.pdf

ReplyDeleteOf course.
I'm in contact, continuosly, with TMS SOFTWARE.
They say that the source code is a good documentation.
That a PDF with a lot of complex solutions are a good documentation.
That his forums, are a good documentation.
Bud for the basic things, I need a reference manual, not "private investigation" across demos in PDF and source code.
I don't need anyone explaining me things, every time I have a doubt.
I need a good documentation, an a logic behavior of this components. Two things that this components don't do.
It's, at the moment, the worst tools buyed. TMS Pack for Firemonkey.

ReplyDeleteCan you extract from this document an example of how to include a Button inside a Cell?
Of course a complete example, explained.

ReplyDeleteThank you. But are you user of any of these tools.I don't want to be cheated newly, as with TMS Software components.
No, actually not. There're trial version from both.

ReplyDeleteMy experience with TMS Software is that the experience of the user is the only warranty.
With TMS Software, this experience can't be worst!
I use the Grid from TMS and I am quite happy with it, especially with the customisation features. Admittedly, the manual is not the most explanatory and educative you can find but I figured out many things. If you wish, drop me an email and I may be able to help you.

ReplyDeleteCurrently I have two problems with TMS Pack for Firemonkey. I need to insert an Custom Component in the Cells of a Column. This component is a Button with an Image inside it.
I can't understand how to insert the component on each Cell of the same column, because the method ask me for two properties, Col and Row. And it's in all the cells of the same Column that I want to have the button.
The second inmediate problem is how to respond to a click on this button and know in which row has the button clicked.
Juan C. Cilleruelo I created a small demo, which I emailed you. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeletewoll2woll is better and fast

ReplyDeleteThank you for your opinion. Are you user of woll2woll?
I was user of this tool from Delphi 3 to Delphi 7. And there was very good.
The version that you are using is for Firemonkey? This point is very important for me.
Have you used this features:
- Cells that have a button inside.
- Cells with CheckBoxes, that run well.
- Possibility of deactivate some rows, based on a value.
- Possibility of Drag a Row over any other form.
- Possibility of Drop things and respond, by program, the object dropped.
How well is the documentation included?
The help files combines with the help of Delphi, like in the old versions I know?

ReplyDeleteAfter more than 20 years using VCL, come to FMX is, in many cases, like be newly a beginner.
I have near of three years of experience with FMX, since XE3, and some times very ungry, with the difficults of use.
The most important difference between VCL is the LiveBingins and the use of styles. It's complex, full of "magic" things and very far of our knowledge.
Some times I miss VCL too!!!!
Juan C. Cilleruelo in VCL is so easy to connect a grid to a non visual descendant of TDataSet. With LiveBindings is so difficult. This was my experience with connecting a grid from woll2woll to TDataSet in code.
ReplyDeleteThe devmachines FireDataGrid looks pretty good. I haven't used it but have used DevExpress for many years and it seems to match most of that functionality. Would be worth a look.
ReplyDeleteJuan C. Cilleruelo FirePower works very intuitively, and most things can be accomplished without any code. Putting a checkbox in a grid, switches, progressbars, combos, lookup combos, images, image combos, buttons can all be done simply by assigning column properties. You don't need to use live bindings with FirePower, as you can simply use a TDataSet/BindSource and assign its datasource property. You can also bind it to an in-memory list. Best of all it is very fast on mobile and works intuitively. I encourage you to take a look at the demo apps and trial as this will show you the capabilities, and how easy it is to use. There is integrated online help, but there are numerous complete demos which demonstrate the core and advanced features of the components. If you have any questions on the product, I can help you as I represent Woll2Woll Software.

I looked at the FireDataGrid and was not impressed. Maybe FirePower by Woll2Woll is the best out there right now.
