We would have to rewrite them, especially since we use the Windows API directly and extensively (and that’s not going to work on the Mac). So, the first implication is that our controls, as written, will not compile with FireMonkey. It has been written from scratch to be able to use the GPU for speed and to target the two completely different operating systems.
DELPHI RAD STUDIO XE2 MAC OS
FireMonkey is the new cross-platform run-time for Delphi that allows developers to write code that can target both Windows and Mac OS X. Will DevExpress support FireMonkey™? This question is perhaps the hardest of all to answer definitively. Adding support for some other engine might bloat the code and at a minimum cause breaking changes. We already have a full-featured robust skinning engine for VCL that we’ve been shipping for several years. Will DevExpress support the new VCL styles? To be honest I doubt it at least not in the initial version. Obviously it would make sense if we can, but we do have an entire data controller layer already in place.

Will DevExpress support LiveBindings™? (This is the ability to “connect any visual element to any type of data”.) Still investigating. So if 64-bit floats your boat, buy Delphi XE2 and ask us for the beta when we announce it. I’m going to predict that we will make the 64-bit capable code available as a beta before we actually release it. Sounds easy enough, but the devil is in the details.

If you are old enough to remember (like I do!) you’ll recall the issues encountered going from 16-bit Delphi 1 to 32-bit Delphi 2. The code already compiles and we’re in the midst of some rigorous testing. Will DevExpress support compiling to 64-bit? Duh, yes, of course. Given that some of the finer details about XE2 are still under wraps, I shall have to be fairly circumspect and general at the moment. Naturally, we are starting to get some questions about what we are going to do with regard to this next version with our VCL subscription. I’ll certainly be playing around with it when I get a copy of the released version. There’s certainly a palpable sense of excitement in the Delphi air more so than any previous new version for a while. David Intersimone and his band of Merry Developer Relations Men are on a tear at the moment, flying around the world, spreading the news about the new features.Īnd what great features they are too.
