NG Complete

Latest Version: 2024.2

Introduction

The new Next Generation (NG) Control Suite supplements the LMD line of products for Embarcadero Delphi/C++Builder.NG components make use of new IDE and language features of most recent IDE releases (Delphi/C++Builder XE2 and above). This approach allows us to neglect compatibility issues (e.g. Unicode and Generics support) and to use ideas which are not possible with older IDEs. Besides that NG Controls are designed to be lightweight and task-focused. They do not represent a complete framework like the LMD VCL platform and can be used at the same time with LMD VCL controls, the VCL or any other 3rd Party toolbox.
Actually all features of the following NG standalone products are included:

A Site License package covers unlimited number of developers in same organization at one location.

Components

TNGHTMLLabel
Represents a label control with simple HTML rendering capabilities (mainly font faces and standard font attributes). However the control uses a very lean and fast internal parser (miniHTML engine).
TNGHTMLPanel
Being a TWinControl descendant, TNGHTMLPanel is a better choice for html content with embedded controls than TNGHTMLLabel.
TNGHTMLView
Use this control to display large scrollable html text. Like TNGHTMLPanel embedded controls and advanced HTML controls are possible.
TNGHTMLListBox
This listbox can display multiline html text in each item.
TNGHTMLHeaderControl
Allows to create headers with html text.
TNGHTMLDBLabel
DB-aware version of TNGHTMLLabel. Can be used in two modes: usual and as a template. In second case it can display content of several datafields.
TNGHTMLDBView
DB-aware version of TNGHTMLView. Like TNGHTMLDBLabel, this control supports template mode. Can be used to display scrollable html forms that combine both html text, embedded controls, and data from several datafields.
TNGHTMLStorage
This component is a storage for your html texts. Allows to create collections of hyperlinked html items without any coding. One item can refer to another by means of <a href='itemname'> tag that references another item by name.
TNGTaskDialog
TNGTaskDialog is a component that provides the modern Vista task dialog not only in Windows Vista and better, but also on earlier Windows installations. The list of features that enable a better user experience include HTML and Unicode support, customizable common buttons, radio buttons, "command link" buttons, expandable text area, progress bar, verification checkbox, user function callbacks, timer support on timer etc. All of these features can be easily set via an extensive component editor at designtime or via code at runtime (either via standard or fluent interface).
TNGInputDialog
TNGInputDialog is a dialog component, which provides a way for the user to enter input value. Usually this value is a string value, so edit or memo controls are used to represent/edit the value. However, input dialog supports more input controls: Edit, Memo, Date-time picker, Editable Combo-box, Non-editable Combo-Box, Password edit, Custom Mini-HTML template. Many of the TaskDialog features like verification checkboxes or custom buttons are available as well.
TNGMessageDialog
TNGMessageDialog component allows to configure and show simple message dialogs with a look, compatible with TNGTaskDialog. The main purpose of the component is to be used internally inside TNGDialogs.Message overloaded methods, so, it, probably, need not be used explicitly. The component provides a set of properties, which are analogous to Delphi standard MessageDlg function parameters.
TNGButtonPanel
Simple TaskPanel descendant which automatically arranges button controls to help creating dialog bottom panels more quickly.
TNGTaskPanel
Simple TPanel descendant which emulates the look of bottom panels in Taskdialogs on Windows Vista and better.

TNGRequiredFieldValidator

TNGHintErrorProvider
Enables a Validator component to indicate errors by displaying icons near the validated control.
TNGInPlaceErrorProvider
Enables a Validator component to indicate errors by changing the visual appearance of the validated control (font and background color and other effects are supported).
