We are pleased to announce the release of a new component for Delphi - Dockable Panels - FireDocking 1.0. The component implements the concept of dockable panels, widely used in the development of desktop applications. How Delphi IDE or Microsoft Visual Studio does. The component allows to deploy the docking infrastructure on any FMX.TControl or FMX.TForm. The component supports containers for splitter-separated panels or tabbed panels. Auto-Hide containers are also supported along all edges - left, right, top, bottom. The component fully supports the work with the styles of the Firemonkey. Any style from the Delphi supply can be used. Additionally, the component is equipped with a form designer plug-in for Delphi IDE.

We are pleased to announce the release of an update the Grid component for Delphi - Firemonkey - FireDataGrid 1.8. The current version optimizes work with the latest version of Delphi - Sydney. Fixed problems when working with datasets, rendering errors and others. The structure of the source code has been redesigned.

We've updated our serie of components for Qt. In the current release, we have fixed bugs that were found by our users in the previous versions and added a number of new features. The Qtitan::PopupMenu class was added which inherits from QMenu and allows add the scrolling buttons if the menu items do not fit completely. In addition, it is possible to add a custom widget to this menu to the right side from the items, to organize a preview for selected item or give a hint to the end-user.

The mechanism of working with the QPalette has been refactored, we attempt to ensure that the modifications of the widget's palette by the user are preserved when switching the QStyle-based styles. In the previous version, palette settings were lost in the case of changing the styles. Fixed a number of errors in customization of the topp-level window title bar. Rendering errors and behavior. Aditionaly, all the projects are adapted for Qt5.15.2 and Visual Studio 2019. Fixed compilation errors for Qt5.15.2 + PySide2 and errors when building statically.

• QtitanRibbon - Improved system menu, now it has scroll buttons for items. Fixed rendering errors under different themes.
• QtitanDataGrid - Improved CardView, added the ability to hide the title of the card and the way to completely disable the feature to remove records from the grid - GridViewOptions::setRowRemoveEnabled (true / false) and CardViewOptions::setItemTitleHeight (0). Fixed behaviour for flag Qt::ItemIsEnabled. Now you can disable any cell in the grid by removing the flag Qt::ItemIsEnabled from the QModelIndex associated with this cell. Added other improvements and bug-fixes.
• QtitanDocking - Active tab is now activated when restoring from XML file.
• QtitanNavigationDesignUI - Improved support for keyboard navigation. The navigation button that has the focus, obtained by keyboard input is highlighted a bold border (as in Windows 10). FIxed tab order issues. Other improvements and bug-fixes.
• QtitanChart - Other improvements and bug-fixes.

We are pleased to announce the release of the second beta version of the component for FMX - FireDocking 1 beta 2. In this beta version, we have added support for MacOS and implemented a mechanism to store the docking layout into the XML file. You can save the state to the XML and then restore it. In addition, a number of bugs were fixed and the ability to place the docking manager directly onto the FMX form was added.

QtitanDataGrid 6.7 introduces "Row Sizing" feature - the ability to change the grid rows height using a special splitter between rows. Works like a regular QSplitter. To activate this feature it is necessary to turn on the property GridTableViewOptions::setRowSizingEnabled(true). The feature is available for horizontal grids and is supported in all possible modes. For example, if the preview row is enabled, then this function makes it possible to change the preview row in height. It is in great demand when implementing the concept of a master-detail view. "Rows Sizing" feature is also supported in the mode when the row height is calculated based on the its cells content. If you change the size of the grid row manually, then the row will always be of this size and will not depend on the content. If you need to return all rows heights to their original state, then just click F5 or call the GridViewBase::bestFit() routine from the code.

In the current version, the code has been optimized and refactored, as well as added the ability to build a component with QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII define and optimization by using a string literals QStringLiteral instead of QLatin1String.

This version adds a light effect to the buttons, as was done in the original Windows Fluent Design user interface. The light appears when you move your mouse over the button. The inner background and the separate frame border are highlighted as a light. For some buttons, the border is highlighted separately. When you click on the button with the light effect, the pressing is accompanied by light animation.

Bug-fixes updates for QtitanRibbon 5.6, QtitanChart 6.0.7 and QtitanDocking 3.4 components were released. In this update the base library QtitaBase version 1.4.0 is used. The update fixes compilation errors for older versions of Qt5.x, improves work with QAction, improves integration with Windows 10 and a number of others. In addition, added the ability to build a component with QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII define and optimization by using a string literals QStringLiteral instead of QLatin1String.
