Version 13.0.2.13 (4/16/2021)

TwwDataGrid - Performance with most recent OS X/BigSur was noticeably slower in painting/scrolling. We recommend adding the following line of code to your project source before the initialize which uses metal graphics and is faster to paint.

begin

FMX.Types.GlobalUseMetal := True; // add this line.

Application.Initialize;

Application.CreateForm(TMainDemoForm, MainDemoForm);

end;

Note that also this build has a new method of painting the default text in the grid that is significantly faster even when metal is not used. If there are any unforeseen issues, you can return to the old behavior by adding this line of code in your main project source.

wwGlobalManager.InfoPowerControlsManager.TextPaintingNew:= false;

Application.Initialize;

Note: You will need to add the units fmx.types to resolve the GlobalUseMetal reference and add fmx.wwmanager to resolve the TextPaintingNew reference.

Version 13.0.2.11 (2/24/2021)

Now Compatible with RAD Studio 10.4.2 Release
TwwDataGrid - Fixed issue when exporting with Android. It could generate an access violation the second time the export was done.

Version 13.0.2.2 (7/6/2020)

In some instances FirePower edit controls could stop showing their background when resizing the form and a TwwDataGrid goes out of view. This is related to the caching of the style manager. This problem is addressed by the grid now defaulting to DisableDisappear as True which prevents the control from losing its style attributes.
TwwTrackPanel embedded in TwwTreeView now better supports keystroke handling with the arrow keys.

TwwComboEdit - The ItemIndex was not properly updated in some cases
Add TwwManager.Grid.DiscardChangesMessage property which is the message that the grid shows when cancelling changes (User escape key)
TwwLookupComboEdit's ListBox and TwwDataGrid- Cleaned up logic so mouse wheel scrolls view instead of simply moving the record position. This allows for a more smooth and instinctive feel to the user. To return to the old behavior, you can set the new property PaintOptions.MouseWheelScrollsRecord to false for the grid or DropDownGrid. For the dropdown list the vertical scroll bar up/down buttons will now scroll always instead of just when PaintOptions.LoadAllRecords is true.
TwwLookupComboEdit - In some cases the highlighted record in the dropdown list would disappear when moving through the list. The active record could also jump to the middle sometime when scrolling. This problem is fixed.
TwwLookupComboEdit and TwwCalendarEdit when attached to a time field: When embedded in the TwwDataGrid, the edit portion remained highlighted causing a confusing cell highlight with an inner selected text highlight. This problem is fixed.
TwwLookupComboEdit's dropdown height and width were not large enough when the scaling of the user's window setting was set to precisely at 125%. This was noticed when running in windows. This problem is fixed.
TwwRecordViewPanel - Cleaned up code when destroying auto-created controls
TwwLookupComboEdit - Cleaned up code in closeup to free created resources. This is avoid OSX64 random access violations when repeatedly dropping down the list.

Version 12.0.5.8 (4/6/2020)

TwwRecordViewPanel - Android keyboard scrolling to bring edit control into view did not work when scaled. It also would fail to bring the edit control into view if the record view has already scrolled down. This problem is fixed.

Version 12.0.5.7.1 (4/2/2020)

TwwLayoutGrid - Ignore invisible controls for tab stop purposes. Otherwise the user could enter tab to move out of a panel but the grid does not move to the first available control in the next panel.

Version 12.0.5.7 (3/31/2020) - Requires RAD Studio 10.3.2 or 10.3.3

TwwDataGrid - When the grid is associated with a dataset that has only partially loaded its data, the grid will not load a new page of records if trying to drag the thumb downward at the bottom of the scrollbar. Now you can set the property PaintOptions.ThumbDragLoadsMoreRecords to true to enable this functionality.
TwwDataGrid - Could generate runtime error when displaying a column of type BCDField. This problem is fixed.
TwwDataGrid - Fixed issue with invisible grid causing access violation. This could happen since the grid internal handle is not yet created on events such as EditingChanged would fire.
TwwDataGrid - Master/Detail with lookup combo in detail grid could cause access violation since the lookup combo's grid handle does not get its style applied.
TwwRecordViewPanel could generate a design time error when adding display fields to a item of type lookup combo. This problem is fixed.

TwwPlatformServices Email with attachment not previously working for newer Android devices. This problem is fixed.

Version 12.0.5.5 (12/10/2019) - Requires RAD Studio Rio 10.3.2 or 10.3.3

TwwLookupComboEdit could yield access violation when closing up in OSX64 bit. This problem has been fixed by using a delayed timer to execute closeup operation after a mouse clicks in the dropdown list.

TwwDataGrid - When embedding a drop-down combo in a column in the grid. the dropdown list was not scrollable on Android. This problem has been fixed.
TwwRecordViewPanel - The automatic scrolling to bring a control into view was not working (so it doesn't overlap keyboard) if the control being edited was near the bottom. This could happen with newer Android devices where virtual tool buttons would appear when the keyboard was shown so the keyboard overlap was not recognized.This problem is fixed.
TwwLayoutGrid - In some instances the grid would recognize a click in the wrong position and could shift the grid up one row. Also fixed issue where active record panel could be shifted into wrong position in some cases.
TwwLayoutGrid - Support binding to TBooleanField - Previously treated boolean as string which does not cause any issues with display, but could cause issues when using custom drawing events and using the GetValue method.

Version 12.0.5.2 (9/27/2019) - Requires RAD Studio Rio Update 2.

TwwLayoutGrid - For desktop the dataset would not always be on the clicked record at the time of the OnItemClick event. This problem is fixed.

In some styles the enabling the checkbox in a TwwListBox could yield an access violation This problem is fixed.
When using OverrideStyleSetttings.BackColor, the TwwMemo background color's opacity changed to be consistent with TwwEdit. Previously the TwwMemo and TwwEdit had different default opacities causing it to be difficult to have a consistent background.
In some cases, the TwwLookupDialog could yield access violation when no columns were selected. Fixed.
First row could be painted to wrong internal canvas when dgindicator was disabled, causing the title text to be in the data row. This issue is fixed.
TwwLayoutGrid - OnCustomDrawControl event now fired for all controls in active record even when ReadOnly is false. Previously only when readonly was true would this event fire for all controls in the layout grid.
TwwLayoutGrid - When touch scrolling the bouncing at bottom was erratic in its display. The bounce should now be more consistent with the bounce at the first record.

TwwDataGrid - Grid's internal RecNo could be wrong when the dataset applied a filter. The grid now detects this and avoids the problem of being in the wrong scroll position in some cases after a filter is applied.
TwwDataGrid - ImageControl tied to an ImageList would not show its image if the image was the active cell. This problem is fixed.
TwwDataGrid - Dbl-Click Col Sizing (Change size to be longest displayed width of column) was not working consistently. This problem is fixed.
TwwImageControl now supports binding to a floating field and not just integer fields when binding to an imagelist. Floating point numbers are rounded to the nearest integer to compute the imageindex.
Footer design slightly changed so that it is part of the content instead of the parent layout. This allows the footer to stay above the horzscrollbar where in some cases in the past it could be below the scrollbar.

Version 12.0.4.4 (3/4/2019)

MainDemo now works for file sharing in Android. Previously would fail with sdk > 24.
TwwDataGrid - Avoid index out of range when resizing columns in a columnless grid.

Version 11.0.3 (8/20/2018)

TwwLayoutGrid - In some instances an embedded TwwEdit would not return the correct value when a display format was assigned
TwwLayoutGrid with TwwImageControl - When bound to an integer field and used in a TFrame, the image was not displayed for the inactive rows. This problem is fixed. Also fixed issues with the image when bound to a integer field with a display format assigned. Any non-numeric characters could cause an exception (even at design time).
TwwLayoutGrid with TwwTrackBar - Inactive rows would not always display the value.
TwwDataGrid in frame could cause memory leak when created dynamically. This problem is fixed.

Version 11.0.2 (7/25/2018)

TwwDataGrid - Add event OnColWidthChanged which fires when the end-user resizes a column with the mouse. Note that this event is not fired when changing pragmatically the column's Width property. This event is useful in cases where you wish to perform some action based on the user changing the width of a column.
TwwRecordViewPanel - Fixed issue with using the ControlAttributes.Combo.PickItemList property for one of the record view items. Previously the items editor would not come up.
TwwFilterDialog - Fixed memory leak when clearing an existing filter for a selected column.

Version 11.0.0 (6/20/2018)

FirePower brings a host of enhancements regarding integration of images into the controls.
TwwSwitch - In particular the switch controls support custom images so that you can use it to display more intuitive controls for your end-user. Image can come from ImageLists specified with either a reference to either ImageIndex or ImageName. Using ImageName is especially convenient so that your images are not dependent upon the order, but a more static reference such as the name of the image. Also support for custom effects and colors for each state of the image, such as checked, unchecked, or hot.
TwwSwitch – You can assign a GroupName to a collection of switches to create graphical and custom radio buttons.
TwwImageControl
- Support for images defined and loaded from an ImageList instead of being assigned. This is more efficient in memory and loading if you have the same being used in multiple places. You can also refer to an ImageName from an ImageList instead of just an ImageIndex
- Improved support for coloring the image with a selected color – See Effects.Color property
- Now supports transparency when using effects. Previously you would lose transparency with some effects
TwwAdvancedComboEdit – Support for ImageLists, ImageName, multiple columns, and the ability to hide the text and just show the images in both the control and its dropdown list (See screenshot below). Hiding the text is useful if the graphical representation is sufficient information for the user.
TwwDataGrid and TwwLayoutGrid support for embedded custom switches.
Two complete demos (Delphi and C++ Builder) where one uses data from memory, and the other uses data from an sqlite database. The only difference is one unit (the data module) in the project. This shows how easy it is to change your application to use any data or backend by editing only one unit.
