I haven't find a function to get a screenshot in FMX.Platform (anyway, nowhere else...). With the VCL, there are many answers (stackoverflow, google, ...). But how to get a screenshot in an image(bitmap or whatever) for Windows and Mac OS X? Regards, W. Update: The link from Tipiweb gives a good solution for OS X. Regarding the Windows part: I have coded this, but I don't like to use the VCL, and a Stream to achieve it... Any better suggestion, comments? Thanks. W. uses ..., FMX.Types, Winapi.Windows, Vcl.Graphics; ... function DesktopLeft: Integer; begin Result := GetSystemMetrics(SM

I created an (Delphi XE2) Firemonkey sample program which contains a TButton and a TSavedialog with two different filters. (The TSaveDialog component supports the Win32/Win64 and OS X platform.) It works fine on Win32/Win64, but I don't now why it does not show the Savedialog filters on OS X (VirtualBox/OS X 10.7.x). How can I get it to work on OS X ? procedure TForm1.Button_SaveClick(Sender: TObject); begin SaveDialog.Filter:='Format_1 (*.fmt1)|*.fmt1|Format_2 (*.fmt2)|*.fmt2'; If Savedialog.Execute Then ShowMessage(SaveDialog.FileName+#13+'Selected filterindex: '+Inttostr(SaveDialog

Looking at the new Delphi XE2 with Firemonkey. Considering that it compiles for Windows, Mac OSX and iOS, VCL components are useless in a FireMonkey application. My question is: Is there/will there be an Indy Firemonkey Edition? Cause I seriously need the IdHTTP.Post(); . If not, is there a way to do this in FireMonkey? I have been googling for quite awhile now, not finding anything. :S VCL means Visual Component Library . There's nothing about Indy that is "visual" (meaning "seen at runtime"), meaning that "VCL components are useless in a FireMonkey application" has no relevance to Indy . You

How can show any string in right to left languages such as Persian or Arabic in Android or iOS with FireMonkey? I Use Embarcadero Rad Studio XE6 (Delphi) and when I put a TLabel or TEdit and set its text to "سلام" (Hello in Persian) everything is OK in Windows and Mac but in Mobile platform that is wrong display, in Android shows "م ا ل س" and in iOS does not show anything but space. The problem still exists in Delphi XE7. As per LURD's suggestions. Download and use D.P.F Delphi Android Native Components and/or D.P.F Delphi iOS Native Components . That will fix the problem in XE7 and prior.

I just had a look at Firemonkey's grid implementation and it turns out that it is a very simple implementation (only 1800 lines which seems not much for a grid implementation). It does almost no custom painting but does instead aggregate a lot of other controls - which seems to be the Firemonkey style of doing things. For example, each column keeps an array of controls - one for each cell. For a normal text column with 1,000,000 rows, the grid would keep 1,000,000 edit controls in memory - which seems a little crazy to me. ( EDIT: not so sure now if that assumption is right. It seems to take
