Looks really promising! Its also a signal for Lazarus that TMS-Software decided to offer comercial products for an open source project.

[Mike.Cornflake]

This looks amazing, the 150Euro price tag is attractive, and you provide source code!

Can you please confirm which version of fpc or Lazarus this is for?   I traditionally use Trunk for each, but for a filterable grid, I'd consider sticking to specific releases if that was required.

UPDATE: Regardless of answer, I've decided to purchase :-)  Couple of reasons - I've been chasing a decent grid that supports filtering for a long time now, and I have high hopes for yours.  But also to support those who support Lazarus & fpc :-)   Many thanks

[tmssoftware]

Hi Mike, thank you for your purchase.
Support is provided for Lazarus 1.4.4 with FPC 2.6.4 and Lazarus 1.6 with FPC 3.0

@Mike

Which widgetset do you use under Linux? gtk2 or qt ?


Best regards

I have been in contact with TMS about TTMSFNCPlanner.
Would you mind sharing your experience with TTMSFNCPlanner with us ?
Thanks !

Hi Mike, thank you for your purchase.
Support is provided for Lazarus 1.4.4 with FPC 2.6.4 and Lazarus 1.6 with FPC 3.0

Laz 1.6 with FPC 3.0 will do very nicely :-)  Many thanks.

Which widgetset do you use under Linux? gtk2 or qt ?

Both, but usually only QT for testing purposes.  For the app with filterable grid though, that's tightly bound to DirectShow so Windows only right now.  I won't be able to port that app to Linux until I get around to switching the bindings over to mplayer (and that's a side project I started back in 2014, so it's not happening quickly)

Never used it, and it's only the grid I'll be using in the short term.  I do note that only evaluation units are available for Delphi, so am happy to perform evaluation on behalf of others.  Send me a direct PM with your requirements, and I'll have a quick play and get back to you with some results.  Who knows, they may even even have a suitable demo I can just compile and send through.  I'm offshore right now with poor internet, so I won't actually be downloading the code until I'm back on land around April 15.

Take your time .. no hurries.
I got already a demo from TMS. That works very nice.
But your lessons/experience could add more.

[zeljko]

That pack looks promising. I'll order it and see how it works with qt lcl on x11,win and mac...stay tuned

[zeljko]

Ordered and installed. Testing on qtlcl linux 64bit, trunk lazarus + fpc-2.6.4 ...
Grid problems:
1.Scrollbar cannot scroll to the end (works with gtk2 but not with qt, probably related to lcl TScrollbar problems).
2.Start typing in editable grid when editor is not visible shows ? instead of nonascii char eg ž. ascii works fine...

There's a lot of properties, so I'll need some time to check it all

[zeljko]

Scrollbar problem under qtlcl is fixed in lazarus trunk r52151

@tmssoftware

The FNC UI pack is really impressive. The grid control is just GREAT!. Can we expect more FNC packages/controls in the near future?

With best regards

[tmssoftware]

Many thanks for your much appreciated positive feedback!!!

We are creating FNC equivalents for several VCL & FMX controls available in our subscriptions.

Yesterday we posted a teaser screenshot of the upcoming FNC full-featured tabset & pagecontrol on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/tmssoftware/) :

It looks great! Well done. However after I downloaded your demo and ran it on my machine I noticed that the name of the month of August in French was either incomplete and missing accents (see attachment).

Is there anyway to correct the localization issue?
