IDE in RAD Studio 10.4.1 Features enhancement Romania

September 23, 2020

New for the IDE in RAD Studio 10.4.1

Noutați

RAD Studio 10.4.1 is a quality-focused release, and this goes for the IDE! We’ve addressed many items including some very commonly requested changes; read more below. A ‘quality-focused release’ means one where we introduce very few new features, and focus 95% of our development efforts on quality. 10.4.1 has had a lot of work in the IDE and will be much smoother for you once you install. But, in 10.4.1 we’ve also spent that time on new features, and we’ve implemented a couple of really commonly requested items. There are two sections to this blog post: first, a change to an old IDE feature; second, a new feature, and key areas that you may be very happy we’ve focused on! The Floating Form Designer Layouts and Multiple Monitors: aka, ‘when does the IDE change things?’ Notable Quality The Floating Form Designer Ever since 2003, the RAD Studio IDE has been ‘docked’: that is, while you can drag tool windows like the Palette, Object Inspector, Messages, Watches and so forth to float, the overall design of the IDE is an integrated window. Specifically the editor and form designer are integrated in the main window. The ‘floating form designer’ is when you turn this off, and it allows the form you are designing to be a window among other windows; that is, it’s not embedded in the main IDE, but mimics the Delphi 1-though-7 behaviour where the designed form can be above or behind the editor. This behaviour has been replaced by modern docked designing for seventeen years, requiring you to manually turn on the old-style feature, and unfortunately did not always behave well. When assessing the feature, we made the hard decision to remove it. What does this mean? Does it mean you can’t have multiple editor or designer windows, for example? No! Very much not. In fact, you can still have multiple editor windows spread over multiple monitors too if you wish, with each one hosting a designed form… and we’ve even tweaked a wide range of areas and UX or behaviour tweaks while you do! Two really notable items we’ve addressed in this area are: The IDE used to not work quite as you’d want when clicking on an item in the Structure pane: the Structure pane would sometimes scroll and the wrong item was selected. This is now resolved. If you click, it will select what you clicked on. I’m really glad to note this one. When you have multiple forms being designed at once, the Structure and Object Inspector windows would reflect the selection for the form designer in the window they were docked to. Now they always reflect the form you are editing. Ie, whatever you’re working on is what they’ll show information for, regardless of what’s docked where. The key to note here is how much better 10.4.1 is at handling form designing over multiple screens. These were ‘annoyances’, things that might seem minor but got in the way when working. We’re glad to note the better behaviour in RAD Studio 10.4.1. Layouts and Multiple Monitors: aka, ‘when does the IDE change things?’ When working with layouts and the designer, we also added one often-requested feature. Desktop layouts save the position and location of your IDE windows, including the monitor your IDE is on. You can create […]

Ultra-Fast Web Application Development using Delphi/C++ Builder

Noutați

Choosing the Web framework for Web Application Development in Delphi or C++ Builder will no more a tough task for both developers and companies to meet the business needs. There is plenty of resources around Embercadero and the web about various frameworks with the pros and cons of each. Still, struggle to choose the right one for your need? Don’t worry this post will guide you through the available frameworks. RADStudio Included Server Technologies : Web Broker: Abstract the HTTP Server concept with concrete classes mapped to CGI, ISAPI, ApacheModules, Standalone(indy). It can maps URLs to actions, supports filters, and global handlers. To start with WebBroker Click here. DataSnap is a Delphi technology that allows the development of multi-tier applications, most notably multi-tier database applications. Supports Rest, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS. Backward compatible with COM/DCOM. A serios of tutorials here. RAD Server Load Delphi and C++ business logic methods into RAD Server, add some users, and go. REST/JSON end-points are auto-created and managed. Access control is handled. Data storage is built-in or you can easily connect to any popular Enterprise RDBMS or cloud service. SOAP Services: It’s a protocol which enables you to access remote data, or call remote procedures. SOAP data is transmitted using an XML wrapper, usually over an HTTP or direct TCP/IP. To create and use SOAP service Click here. RADStudio Included some Client Technologies for Web Application Development: Which includes Rest BaaS Client, Cloud Client libraries, Rest Client libraries, SOAP Clients. 3rd Party Web Frameworks: Client Focused: Pascal->JavaScript Transpilers. Write in Object Pascal and translate/Compiles in to JavaScript. Creates a pure Web client Solution. Compatible with many popular server solutions. TMSSoftware’s Web Core Integrates into Delphi IDE. Write object pascal and design in RAD Studio, builds pure HTML & JavaScript. Works with TMS’s cross-platform FNC components. Builds a Single Page Application. The large reusable component set with database access. Smart Mobile Studio (SMSC) transpiler has its own IDE uses familiar Object Pascal dialect. Compiles to pure JavaScript. Has lots of target like Node.js Tizen, console & Espruino. Has own RTL and full Visual component framework. ElevateSoft’s Web builder transpiler has its own IDE with components similar to VCL. Supports using native Elevate Web Builder Web server Modules. It compiles to optimized JavaScript. Full Stack or Client/Server Focused: Framework covers the Server app and client interface. Balanced Approach good to choose when Both Server and Visually designed UI is one project. WebBroker is the core on the server for most frameworks listed below. AtoZed Software’s IntraWeb: Installs into IDE, Modeled on VCL, Visual Client Designer. The client built from the JS and HTML library. Delphi UI event handlers run on servers, extensible via typescript. FMSoft UniGui: Installs into Delphi IDE, VCL like design and use. Provides data-aware controls, supports desktop and mobile.

C++17 On Windows 10 With The C++ Builder

Noutați

As you know from C++ Builder 10.3, we have support for the modern C++17 On Windows 10 version. Here you can see the C++ 17 support chart. In this CodeRage session, Dion Mai shows demo applications in action. You can find out how you can use the new C++17 On Windows 10 functions and an updated C++17 standard library. What you can find in this session? Moreover, you can find out how you can call WinRT functionalities. You can find all the wrappers from the RAD Studio installation folder. Source->RTL->Win->WinRT C++ Builder provides three levels of development:1. Components (VCL and FMX)2. Common Libraries (RTL).3. Platform APIs (iOS, Android, Mac OS) In this post we will discuss the Common Libraries (RTL). C++ Builder has several hundred functions, macros, and classes that you call from within your C and C++ programs to perform a wide variety of tasks, including low- and high-level I/O, string and file manipulation, memory allocation, process control, data conversion, mathematical calculations, and more. The C++ Builder Run-Time Library (or RTL) is composed of a number of base header files that provide the underlying support for most of the VCL and FireMonkey component libraries . The RTL includes global routines, utility classes such as those that represent streams and lists, and classes such as TObject, TPersistent, and TComponent. Although closely allied with FireMonkey and VCL, the RTL does not include any of the components that appear on the Tool Palette. Instead, the classes and routines in the RTL are used by the components that do appear on the Tool Palette, and are available for you to use in application code in either VCL projects or FireMonkey projects, or when you are writing your own classes. For example, the System header contains most of the Run-Time Library (RTL). And from the System header, you have the System.Math.hpp header that defines classes, routines, types, variables, and constants related to mathematical operations, vectors and matrices. Or the System.Bluetooth.hpp header that provides classes to use the Bluetooth capabilities of the device that is running your application to connect to applications running on remote devices. Or the System.Sensors.hpp header that provides classes and components that let you obtain information and manage system sensors. The Sensors are pieces of hardware or software that can provide measures of physical quantities to your applications. Or the System.Threading.hpp header that defines classes and types that implement the parallel programming library.

Embarcadero Subscription Benefits – Highlights for September 2020

Noutați

Embarcadero Subscription will help Your team to focus on most important things – increase efficiency and Reduce development time and get to market faster with RAD Studio, Delphi, or C++Builder. Design. Code. Compile. Deploy. RAD Studio Update for Embarcadero Subscription benefits continues to expand. In addition to multiple FREE components and tools available to Update Subscription customers, we want to highlight several exciting features for September related to the 10.4 / 10.4.1 releases. Custom HighDPI ready VCL Windows Styles In 10.4, we significantly extended the VCL Styles architecture to support High DPI and 4K monitors. All UI controls on the VCL form are now automatically scaled for the proper resolution of the monitor the form is displayed on. Each UI element can be selected from a library of multi-scale versions and scaled to any DPI, resulting in crisp UI elements on all monitors. The following 13 custom VCL styles have been updated to fully support High DPI with your VCL applications: Calypso Stellar Wedgewood Light Material Oxford Blue Puerto Rico Material Patterns Blue Windows 10 Modern Malibu Windows 10 Modern Blue Whale Windows 10 Modern Clear Day Windows 10 Modern Black Pearl Flat UI Light Lucky Point Zircon Parallel Debugger Today’s applications don’t just run on one thread – they’re spread over the main UI thread and multiple parallel threads all inter-operating. Yet most IDEs are built around interacting with one thread at a time when debugging, or have debugging controls that aren’t even aware that more threads might exist at all. Debugging thread interactions can be hard, really hard… and we have the solution: a new parallel extension to RAD Studio designed for understanding and controlling what your multi-threaded application is doing. Visualize thread call stacks in parallel. See multiple threads indicated inline in the code editor. Control execution on a per-thread basis. And more! This exciting new extension is coming soon exclusively for Update Subscription customers using RAD Studio 10.4.1. TwineCompile: speed up C++ builds C++ can be slow to compile, for all C++ IDEs – and TwineCompile is the answer. This amazing C++Builder extension parallelizes C++ builds, speeding them up by the number of cores in your machine – making your project build in half, a quarter, or even less time. This add-on is one of the best productivity extensions available for C++ development. Depending on your application size, it’s possible to save an hour or more per day – a huge time saver for your entire development team! There are three short, two-minute videos introducing TwineCompile and how to use it: probably the best six minutes you could spend today improving things for your C++ team. You can get TwineCompile now for C++Builder with your Update Subscription — including for Professional edition customers! Updated FMX Linux We also recently updated the FMXLinux package for Delphi in GetIt. The latest version has full support for 10.4.1 and includes a number of quality improvements.

Delphi 10.4 Sydney – the best tool for creating Windows Apps

Noutați

Delphi has long been a favorite tool of many Windows developers. After launching new Delphi 10.4 Sydney that statement may be considered as simply wishful thinking to many people, but sometimes the truth is not as obvious as it should be. The ‘truth’ to many is that Visual Studio is the ultimate tool for Windows developers. While I may concede that truth for many C++ developers, it’s definitely debatable for .NET developers. (Simply ask a Visual Basic developer how they feel about no more language features planned.) Many .NET developers started with WinForms back in 2002 – including a whole bunch of Delphi developers that jumped ship to the greenfields of .NET from what many consider a historical pinnacle of Delphi development, Delphi 7 (an ancient version which many developers still use today!) Some developers have stayed with WinForms over the years, but many moved to WPF and XAML in .NET 3.0 back in 2006. Others chose to take the five-year Silverlight boondoggle starting in 2007. WPF went stagnant around 2013 as the year prior Microsoft released Metro Apps in Windows 8. Microsoft quickly shifted the label to WinRT in Windows 8.1. By 2015, an updated app platform for Windows 10 was named UWP as the new ‘final’ solution but again the improvements didn’t help it to gain traction. Microsoft was recognizing the obvious resistance and quickly created new technologies to bridge applications across various platforms. They developed an iOS bridge, an Android bridge, a web apps bridge, and a classic Win32 desktop apps bridge. (Did you know that there still is an Objective-C for Windows?) The Android bridge is dead. While the Win32 bridge is still active, it has not been utilized much. The new ultimate solution starting in late 2019 has been .NET Core 3.0 and most of the old technologies like WinForms are being reinvigorated to work with it (well, except Silverlight of course!) The new goal is to make “every platform feature available to every developer” to solve the “massive divide” between platforms due to the rejection of UWP. (Note that WinForms and WPF are not cross-platform options with .NET Core 3.0 so they get rejected once again.) The very latest technology revolution unveiled by Microsoft in the last few days is Project Reunion. This is supposed to be the new way to drag all the Win32 applications into the future (something they have been trying very hard to do over the last 14+ years!) A quote from Microsoft: “The idea behind Project Reunion is that it allows developers to build one Windows application and target all 1 billion Windows devices….We’re bringing together the combined power of Win32 and UWP so developers no longer have to choose because we’re unifying these existing APIs and in some way decoupling them from the OS.“ I would pose a fairly significant question behind Microsoft’s bold statement of a billion Windows devices out there: how many applications on those billion devices are Win32 versus UWP? I’m sure Embarcadero has a strong opinion on that specific topic! To be fair, there are a few dozen people in that commune in Belize which still use Windows Phones. And there are a few thousand people using the $3,500 HoloLens headsets. (It’s $1,500 less than their first version after all so it’s bound to […]

Top 3 features in Delphi 10.4 Sydney to try

Noutați

Following the beta testing period and some blog post-pre-announcing some of the key features, on 27 Mai 2020 Embarcadero officially released RAD Studio 10.4 Sydney, which includes Delphi 10.4 Sydney. My Top Three Features There are many new features in the product. For Delphi developers the key are: The first cut of Code Insight based on Language Server Protocol. This is a huge step for the product, a new foundation for the future of the “IntelliSense” capabilities. From this foundation, we’ll continue to improve and expand in the future. Top feature is completion within words — rather than starting with what you type. Nice side effects, much better red squiggles. The introduction of custom managed records. Records in Delphi are extremely powerful and handy (with methods and operators overloading) now custom initialization and finalization add more power The extensive enhancements on VCL, with support for High DPI Styles and new platform support with TEdgeBrowser control, among many other features (Per Controls styling, TTitleBar, Virtual Image component, updated API declarations…). FMX and RTL and many other areas got improvement, but the work on VCL has been really extensive for this release There is way more in the product, this is just my personal take of the top 3 areas we worked on. Extensive bug fixing is another key element of Delphi 10.4 Sydney, with one of the highest numbers of public reported bug fixed in a release. And the return of a very nice classic Delphi Greek helmet logo!
