Very nice!

Cool, but all we are waiting XE2 install with 64 bits ASAP, and next version supporting Firemonkey, i hope usable on iOS.

Donald ...

Modesty and discretion have always been a positive feature of the Delphi developer community :)

@Mr. Julian - Thank you for letting us know.

Nice! Is there a way to give skins more generic names. Most end users have no clue what to expect from a skin called VS2010, Sharp Plus or any other skin name that refers to programming lingo.

Sure thing, Mark! You can customize default skin names as your needs dictate. Once TdxSkinChooserGalleryItem is populated with default skin names, you can customize gallery item captions as necessary:

 dxSkinChooserGalleryItem1.PopulateGallery;

 TdxSkinChooserGalleryGroupItem(dxSkinChooserGalleryItem1.GalleryGroups[0].Items[0]).Caption := 'MyCaramel';

Alternatively, you can customize default skin names globally within your application, via cxLookAndFeelPaintersManager, before any TdxSkinChooserGalleryItem is populated:

uses

 ..., cxLookAndFeelPainters;

// ...

var

 APainter: TcxCustomLookAndFeelPainter;

 ASkinDetails: TdxSkinDetails;

begin

 // ...

 cxLookAndFeelPaintersManager.GetPainter('Caramel', APainter);

 APainter.GetPainterDetails(ASkinDetails);

 ASkinDetails.DisplayName := 'MyCaramel';

 // ...

end;

Donald: 64-bit XE2 support is slated for v2011 vol 2, not a minor update to v2011 vol 1. 32-bit Delphi XE2 support is due any day now (last I heard was today, but there might have been a last minute hiccup). C++Builder XE2 support is proving difficult: we're running into some bugs with the compiler/linker/runtime, so I have no news on when that will be ready.

FireMonkey support is and always has been a long term proposal. There is no way I could prognosticate if and when we'll be selling it. If you look at our VCL support, you'll understand why it's not a simple conversion.

Cheers, Julian

Thank you

I've been waiting for them, especially, the white one.

Thanks Julian...  we are greatly anticipating the XE2 release.  We have been using your Delphi DevExpress controls for many years and we can't do without them!

This is great, Julian, thanks for the update.  Can you comment on the possibility of a new text editor in the upcoming release?

Hello Team Devexpress,

thanks for the XE2 release.  We have been using your Delphi DevExpress controls for many years and we can't do without them!

@Bill: I beg your pardon, I'm not quite following your inquiry. Are you requesting a new text editor for FireMonkey?

I received some support center updates (for instance, s38010) that indicate activity was happening with the cxRichEdit control, and I remember in the past seeing discussion about making the control more full featured, and wondered if this was happening.

Ah, I see, our rich edit control (cxRichEdit). Yes, we have implemented a number of suggestions extending the control's functionality in v2011 vol 2. The suggestions include:

S38010 - cxRichEdit - Add paragraph options to specify the justified text alignment, absolute indent, and spacing

S38011 - cxRichEdit - Add the capability to create tables

S38012 - cxRichEdit - Add the capability to create numbered and bulleted lists

S38013 - cxRichEdit - Add the capability to add page breaks

We will change the status of the suggestions and publish implementation details shortly.

Do we have an approximate date for vol2 release?  Prior to end of 2011?

v2011 vol 2 will be released before the end of the year. We are preparing a beta for VCL subscription customers that will be released soon.

Are there any demos out there showing rounding of buttons, group boxes, etc.

right to left support?

Beta out now and while I haven't downloaded it (don't have time to play with the beta really, probably will be waiting for the official release) there do seem to be some cool little changes/new features in there. Good job.

OTOH as ahmed said, right to left support is a glaringly missing feature which clearly costs us money (we have Middle East prospects who would buy if we could do RTL) so while clocks and skinnable scroll boxes are nice, a start on RTL support would be much nicer!

Hello! Where I can download this skins now? I don't have access to VCL Subscription v2 beta, but I user SkinLibrary and some other components

@execoma:The skins are only available with 11.2. If you don't have access to the beta because yyou are not a licensee of the full VCL subscription, you will have to wait until the release is published and upgrade.

Cheers, Julian

The release will be issued until the new year?

@execoma: The 11.2 release will be published in a week or so.

Cheers, Julian

Any chance you can show or demonstrate skins making a square or rectangle button round?

@TSawyer: Some of the sample screenshots of skins and supported components available at devexpress.com/.../info.xml show buttons with rounded corners. This page will be updated with new skin samples soon.
