• Define Directive Control

I had a discussion with one of my colleagues the other day about $DEFINE compiler directive and the question that came to my mind is: Why is $DEFINE not global for. Onesafe software.

What is FireMonkey? FireMonkey is cross-platform Framework developed by Embarcadero. FireMonkey was originally designed by Eugene Kryukov in the company “KSDev” as VGScene. In 2011 Embarcadero acquired the rights to the software and renamed it to FireMonkey. FireMonkey is included, along with the traditional Visual Component Library (VCL) in Delphi and C++ Builder. FireMonkey was introduced in XE2. It’s goal is to allow developers to design cross-platform applications and interfaces that take advantage of the acceleration features available in Direct2D on Windows Vista and Windows 7, OpenGL on Mac OS X, OpenGL ES on iOS, and GDI+ on Windows platforms where Direct2D is not available Applications and interfaces developed with FireMonkey are separated into two categories HD and 3D.

HD and 3D elements can be mixed by utilizing built-in components that are included in the IDE. HD applications are 2D applications with flat interfaces similar to software that is developed using VCL. Intel dual core 2 6 ghz. 3D applications are 3D applications and feature an three dimensional XYZ interface. Firemonkey is a full software development framework, and retains many features available with VCL. The major differences are: • Cross-platform compatibility • Vector drawn interface elements • Any visual component can be a child of any other visual component allowing for creation of hybrid components • Built-in styling support • Support for visual effects (such as Glow, Inner Glow, Blur for example) and animation of visual components Due to the framework being cross-platform compatible, the same source code can be used to deploy to the various platforms it supports.
