Stop hand-coding control positions in FMX. Align, anchors, margins, and container layouts like TGridPanelLayout give you resolution-independent forms across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android — with no resize handlers.
Choose VCL for Windows-only apps needing performance and component maturity; choose FireMonkey for cross‑platform deployment with GPU acceleration and styling flexibility.
Decide between VCL and FireMonkey in RAD Studio by evaluating platform scope, performance, and UI needs. Compare features in a table, weigh trade‑offs, and test with minimal prototypes to confirm your choice.
Learn how to replace repetitive UI synchronization code in RAD Studio with LiveBindings to create declarative, bidirectional links between datasets and visual controls.
Learn how Delphi LiveBindings let you declaratively link UI controls to data, cutting boilerplate code while keeping the UI responsive and maintainable.
Learn how RAD Studio’s LiveBindings Designer lets you bind VCL/FireMonkey controls to datasets visually, cutting boilerplate code while keeping full two‑way data sync.
Learn how to combine a bundled base FireMonkey style with platform‑specific overlays at runtime to keep a consistent brand while respecting each OS’s UI conventions.
FireMonkey Accessibility Role Assignment for Custom-Drawn Controls Expose semantic accessibility roles, labels, and hints for custom-drawn FireMonkey (FMX) components so screen readers can announce them during navigation. FMX uses a custom rendering engine instead of OS native controls, so automatic accessibility mapping is incomplete for user-painted elemen
When targeting both Windows and macOS with RAD Studio, a developer can either maintain two separate VCL projects—one compiled for each OS—or adopt a single FireMonkey codebase that builds for both platforms. The goal is to choose the approach that satisfies the need for native Windows look‑and‑feel and direct Win32 API access while keeping overall maintenanc
