    <p>FireMonkey comes from the former DXScene library, which has been acquired by Embarcadero.</p> <p>You've plenty of information and screenshots in this blog site: <a href="http://ksdev.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ksdev.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Eugene wrote <a href="http://www.ksdev.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=987" rel="nofollow">in his forum</a> that all registered users (like me) will get the Embarcadero version "for free"...</p> <p>Here are the features of DXScene - working with FreePascal compiler to run under Linux or Mac OS X:</p> <blockquote> <p>DXScene is 3D hardware accelerated graphics library Delphi/C++ Builder/Lazarus.</p> <ul> <li>Hardware accelerated graphics on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux</li> <li>3D and 2D graphical editor integrated in IDE</li> <li>Powerful 3D layer containing items such as Cube, Sphere, Cone, Plane, Mesh, free Camera and Lights</li> <li>Mesh object have WPF mesh data format, DXScene have advanced import tool which support - GLSM,WRL,TIN,STL,SMD,Q3BSP,BSP,PLY,OCT,OBJ,OBJF,NURBS,NMF,MS3D,MDC,MD2,LWO,GTS,GLM,GLX,GLA,B3D,MD5MESH,MD5ANIM,MD3,3DS,PRJ file formats</li> <li>Powerful 2D vector engine like Adobe Flash or Microsoft WPF includes high quality shapes and controls like window, label, button, checkbox, textbox and more</li> <li>Advanced GUI engine - window, button, textbox, numberbox, memo, anglebox, list box and much much more</li> <li>Advanced skinning engine based on vector graphics styles. Cool exists styles - Dark, Modern, Vista.</li> <li>DXScene can be used to create hardware accelerated 2D applications with cool animation like CoverFlow, layer and more</li> <li>Easy to use time-based animation and transition effects</li> <li>Layered windows, Jpeg, Png, Tiff and Gif format read/write support, fast thumbnail creation</li> <li>Realtime mode for games and realtime simulations</li> <li>DXScene can be used as development tools for SCADA, GIS, CAD and KIOSK applications</li> <li>DB-Aware controls - TvxDBNavigator, TvxDBLabel, TvxDBTextBox and more Multilanguage engine, editor and examples</li> <li>Physics simulation using Newton Game Dynamics</li> <li>Cross-platform solution available on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X and Linux</li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>We can guess that FireMonkey will have some of these features, depending on the new Delphi XE2 cross-compiling features. Will it build OSX, iOS, Linux apps? Does it require XCode?</p> <p>In short, FireMonkey will allow you:</p> <ul> <li>To build 32 bit and 64 bit Windows or 32 bit Mac OS X native applications, and debug them from the Delphi IDE, running in Windows - but you need a Mac computer to run remotely the OSX app;</li> <li>To build iOS native application, with XCode-based debugging - in fact, the iOS simulator in OSX runs in x86/x64 mode, and the FreePascalCompiler is used to create ARM applications;</li> <li>Applications may be 2D (with controls) or 3D (using DirectX under Windows or OpenGL under Mac);</li> <li>To build DB-related applications, using the new <em>Live Bindings</em> feature.</li> </ul> <p>But FireMonkey is not compatible with the GUI part of the VCL. It's a brand new library, with its own architecture, which is indeed based on the former DXScene.</p> <p>All details available at <a href="http://www.deltics.co.nz/blog/?p=735" rel="nofollow">http://www.deltics.co.nz/blog/?p=735</a></p> <p>I think Mac OS X support is reduced to 32 bit version, because FireMonkey uses the Carbon API, which is 32 bit only. See <a href="http://developer.apple.com/carbon" rel="nofollow">http://developer.apple.com/carbon</a> It’s worth saying that making a Mac OS X 64 bit version will need to use an "Objective C" syntax (or linking) and direct Cocoa. Some additional work…</p> <p>I’m still waiting for the Linux version. FireMonkey ancestor (aka DXScene) was already Linux ready (using GTK/Pango/Cairo/OpenGL), and they already have an ELF linker in-house (the one from Kylix, which was very good). I understand that Mac OS X had a higher priority in the list, since it’s a more common platform for desktop computing. But for server applications, Linux is a most have. In XE3, may be?</p> <p><em>Edit: previous "pessimistic" version - extracted ;)</em></p> <p><em>Edit: I’ve made <a href="http://blog.synopse.info/post/2011/08/11/FireMonkey-and-DXScene" rel="nofollow">some screenshots of DXScene components demo</a> - it may help you have a better impression on what FireMonkey will be.</em></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
