Last month my 27 yr old kid tells me "Pops, you need an app. My generation doesn't want to download anything to a computer, they want it on their phone." So, today I create my first Android "Hello World" app. I show it to my kid. He says, "That's all you got. Guess you gotta start some where!" #FireMonkey #Android

Has anyone successfully hacked 3D FireMonkey to use an orthographic projection instead of the normal perspective projection? (That is, a 3D view where objects do not get smaller with distance.) I got some way there a few months ago hooking some matrix and camera functions (thanks Delphi Detours!) but it's not perfect, and I haven't got picking working at all. I would really like this and would give millions of internet points to anyone who has got it working. (In fact until I found it didn't exist, I had expected FMX already had it - orthographic projections are widely used in business 3D apps. Marco Cantù, any chance in XE8? Or from an unreleased internal build? Also, you may wonder if there is some connection between this question and the one I just asked about affine 2D transformations. Yes, because the polygon I want to draw is an orthographically projected rectangle, where I've done all the 3D work myself, have its four corners in 2D space, and want to draw it on a...

How can you draw an image with an affine transformation applied in FireMonkey?  I would like to take a rectangular bitmap, and draw that (in a 2D form) stretched to a not-quite-arbitrary four-sided polygon, the corner points of which I calculate. It happens that the polygon will result in a shape that could be implemented via a simple affine transformation. I hoped for a way to use TCanvas.Matrix to achieve this, or for a Draw method that took a target polygon instead of a rectangle, or to be able to use TImage3D in a 2D form, or something similar.  I can't find one. Any ideas? I'm aware of TAffineTransformEffect but can't see how to go from the four quad points to the rotation/scale values it requires (and it seems to give different results in XE6 than the screenshots in the documentation.) Any ideas? #fmx   #firemonkey  #transformation #affine

Hi everyone, does anyone know how to handle Window messages in #firemonkey   form? I mean posting messages by PostMessage/SendMessage() methods. PS: Actually I wanted to uncheck single RadioButton, as far as I can't uncheck it in its OnClick event handler, I wanted to post message in message queue and handle it after OnClick event.

hi everyone, I have problem with TComboBox in #firemonkey application ( #DelphiXE4  ) I want to change text color in ComboBox, I mean text wich we see when combobox is its usual state. I've created custom style for combobox and changed color in foreground object as in TEdit. Nothing changed. After that I googled that I should change TListBoxItem style, (seems it is little bit differrent things). no luck here too. Also I tried to iterate through item and change TextSettings property. no luck anyway. does anyone know how to do that (color of text in ComboBox itself, not in popup)?

Hi everyone, I have Delphi XE4 update 1 and started new #FireMonkey   project. I don't have a lot of experience with FM platform. I decided to create separate DataModule and place all my StyleBooks, which I'm going to share between forms, there. So, problems are: 1. IDE doesn't allow to add simple shapes in StylesDesigner when stylebook is in datamodule. 2. I should create DM before creating any form in my application, so I edited dpr file. Application starts fine, but when I open such form in designer I get exception. after that I decided to create hidden form instead of DataModule to store shared StyleBooks, this solves problem 1.1. But problem 2 remains. Any time I open form which uses shared StyleBook I get an error message and sould press Ignore button to continue my work. Does anyone know about best practises of using shared stylebooks?
