I will be presenting the following sessions:
Creating a Branded Kiosk with FMX Styles
The advanced graphics capabilities of FMX make it well suited for creating kiosk applications. Add Skia into the mix, and the results can be outstanding. But what if you need to customize your kiosk interface to reflect each customer’s unique branding? This is where FMX Styles really shine. In this session, I will demonstrate how FMX Styles can be leveraged to create a branded interface including logos, backgrounds, buttons, and labels. I will also present a technique for storing a color palette in an FMX Style and show how to utilize it in code. And let’s not forget Skia–I’ll even show a way of defining a branded Lottie animation inside an FMX Style to be displayed in the kiosk interface.
VCL Layout Techniques
Today’s computers utilize a wide variety of display sizes including High-DPI displays and 4K monitors. Developers rely on layout techniques to create a responsive user interface that can handle varying display sizes. This session focuses on the various VCL layout techniques available in RAD Studio. The traditional Align and Anchors properties are covered briefly along with some tips for using them effectively, but the majority of the session is focused on more sophisticated layout controls such as TRelativePanel, TStackPanel, and the recently improved TControlList. Plus some layout specific controls from KSVC are highlighted along the way.
