I have typical rich gui fat clients and am considering moving to lighter html

  • 0

I have typical rich gui fat clients and am considering moving to lighter html displaying clients using embedded chrome, but now FireMonkey looks potentialy interesting too.

The 2d/3d transformations are nice, but I’m writing typical bussiness apps, and there are features I’d need in order to consider using FireMonkey.

  1. Does it have grid/list/tree controls, and if so what features does it have (sorting, drop down menus, date edits, etc)
  2. Can it display html ? How about html editing ?
  3. How efficiently does it transfer over Remote Desktop/VNC ?

ps

I’m aware it’s still unreleased, but someone might know (if not now, then after release)

    1. It does have a rather basic control set, which doesn’t support anything fancy
    2. No, there is currently no support for displaying HTML
    3. Not sure, seen conflicting reports, havent tried myself

    So, my conclusion is that FireMonkey is still too raw and risky to use. There is currently no 3rd party support. Best to give it a year or two and see how it works out.
