Hi I am using uniGui For almost 2 years , and I agree that it was the best thing that happened to Delphi in as long as I remember, I think Mr. Farshad and the FMSoft Team is doing a good job , there is always a room for improvement and it can be faster but so far so good. I have finished my first project and it is very stable and working fine for 3 hotels so far no complains whatsoever. everyone is missing some feature and waiting for it to be released for example I was waiting for : 1- the Scheduler Quasar (2.0.0) 2- the UniDBgrid able to type without mouse click or press Enter I hope you all the best and may next year be better roadmap for FMSoft Regards

Dear Friends, Here is a step by step way to use them. 1. Download the official kit from : https://fontawesome.com/download by choosing FreeForWeb 2. Copy this folder (uncompressed) into your files Folder 3. In your Unigui Project add this simple line on your ServerModule > CustomFiles : (Thx to GerhardV) <link rel="stylesheet" href="files/fontawesome-free-5.12.0-web/css/all.css"> (5.12 is the current release) 4. Put an UniLabel on Mainform and set its TextConversion to txtHTML 5. Use your FontAweSome like this : procedure TMainForm.UniFormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin Unilabel1.caption:='<i class="fa fa-dove" style=color:green></i>'; end; Where : fa is the Class Name and fa-dove is icon's Name. See more details in : https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/referencing-icons/basic-use 6. Choose your icon from 1553 free icons : https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&s=solid&m=free 7. You can also, use them OnLine from public CDNs : by adding this simple line to the CustomFiles (Thx to Marlon) <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.12.0/css/all.css"> ___________ Enjoy OffLine_FontAwSome.zip

I had a quite similar problem - it seems that RichText conversion and print is only possible in a non-uni-gui form (normal windows form), because it seems to use some background functions of windows for converting. For myself I still didnt found a solution at the moment. If you have HTML printing possibilities, its better to use them

Hi All, I have read posts in this topic, and i share my experience and my thought; I have license on Unigui and also on TMS web core (and many other library and components); Goal of TMS web Core is "openess and cross-platform", due to only javascript generated code; it's still young and in constant evolution, now also work in Visual Studio Code; Well, the question is: Why I must use it if I need a "only javascript + HTML5" approach to my applications? I have tested a lot of frameworks and, if I must "rewrite" my apps for the web without Delphi approach (I intend use of datasets, frames, etc...) and I need a separate REST data management I change totally direction and go with Devextreme and pure javascript, due to its UI power (or Infragistic, or Telerik, etc...), no more dependence from Delphi in UI and no more pascal; maybe the data server can be Delphi :-) The truth is that "the magic wand" is the visual IDE, creation wysiwyg of forms and manage of event and property at DESIGN TIME. Infact TMS Web core attract our attention ONLY because it have a visual editor, like the Delphi Edition. Without a visual editor, who use pascal code in Visual Studio code for generate javascript? Ok, It is another solution if I want to approach the standard web: client code + separate remote data management, so stateless and client centric; but I need to worry about sessions, timeouts, and other not visible "variables" of the project, and I need to expose too into client browser. Moreover performance is not the best; With Unigui I take about 2 seconds at runtime for show a form with 300 fields (I develope tax applications, Farshad Known...), 10 seconds with TMS, due that creation object in javascript is not the same of Delphi, the same when you need complex calculation of use of fast complex functions. Sure they optimize it in the future, so I think it is a good product. I will look at evolution. But we have also Unigui that follows Delphi way; visual forms, datasets, events, etc. ALL in ONE perfectly integrated. With a crazy productivity in time development ($$$). Indeed, what we want (and what is missing) is that Unigui have all that we see on modern richfull libraries like Devextreme (for ex.), on Client User Interface, no one dares to question on its Delphi server logic that is PERFECT. This because our customers see only UI, but the real treasure is in the exe (or dll) that manage all, and work worderfully with its session management. So, if I can have DBGrids that have the same power and richness of great Devextreme, very powerful Listview, Lookups, Charts, etcc... without write a lot of javascript client code (all Client features!!!) why I must change UNIGUI? Why I need to change Unigui if all I need is at 95% in Unigui components property and events, with only 5% of my custom javascript client code? (I naturaly don't speek on Delphi server code) Only for obtain a cross platform javascript product, with A LOT of extra work, I think; But now I need powerful Windows (based) applications; maybe linux release give me freedom on server side for cost, when available; Mac (server) is not a problem for me; So I think that Unigui with Equinox full features completed is a powerful tool for my need, thanks the powerful updated components. We need a more attention to forum requests, more responsiveness on bug and primarily on help request about ExtJs interaction and simple client features that Delphi programmer don't known (I don't have experience in ExtJs, I study it gradually on need). Most of times the problem is that we are locked on stupid or little request, easily solvable by an expert on forum or (better) with a new timely release (I am wating for a direct editing in a cell without press Enter, for ex.) but that prevent release of the entire project for months!! So I hope only more powerful components and more attention to user requests, in short time. When all Equinox features are available I Intend to substitute also desktop application with all-in-one project. Because I think that Unigui is, at present, the best web tools for Delphi programmers. Good job to Farshad. (Sorry for my very poor english :-) )

Hi everyone, This post has two parts: A complaint about the development speed of uniGUI (and about the transparency about its progress) Alternative solutions like TMS Web Core Your complaint is valid because the progress in uniGUI development slowed down this year (good reasons or bad reasons, it doesn't matter). Also, the Roadmap 2019 was very ambitious and it was affected by the slower speed. You are right on this point. The second point is not right for most of the developers using uniGUI. Let me explain why (before I get lynched without jury or trial). The main goal of uniGUI is to bring the power of a Delphi desktop application to the web and doing so while preserving what makes Delphi one of the best RAD tools ever created. Some people could be smiling now but let me mention a few things we take for granted in Delphi: Visual form designer with property editors and under-the-hook links to data modules containing datasets, action lists, and all kinds of events (no need for pesky MVC,/MVVC, or any other over-complicated and over-engineered tools except pure and clean Delphi). Data grids that get linked at design time and just work. Clear separation of the user interface and the business logic using forms and data modules. Any common application requires a database and if you need a scalable application, you will need a good middle tier for connecting to it and managing the connections from multiple clients. This scenario was always a problem for client/server applications written in Delphi because each one of them used a data module for its connection, but so did every other client. Products like RemObjects DataAbstract were created for solving this issue. With uniGUI, you get your server which holds that data module and DataAbstract becomes a luxury you don't really need. As soon as HyperServer runs as a Server Farm, you will be able to handle as many clients as your server infrastructure can handle. On the other hand, you can have all your code in JavaScript and that doesn't mean that your application can scale, it is just that you will need to create your own server and manage your connections. I could expand my answer, but it should be enough. My last comment is that TMS Web Core is not the only "alternative". Even the old IntraWeb is trying to create a "revolution" by over-promising, under-delivering, and trying to reinvent the wheel. All these products are years behind what uniGUI currently offers. We want more, we want everything! But just try any of the alternatives and you will see the difference. As a parting gift. Last year I was requested to develop a relatively simple application but using IntraWeb plus CGDevTools. After a few days, I finally discovered that they didn't have modal forms and the tricky solution they offered only worked for simple pop up messages. It took me a couple of weeks to create a generic solution that worked "almost" like a modal form. Another week to discover that none of the dataset events were really supported by their grids and that my assumptions were wrong about being capable of working Delphi-style. In the end, I learned a lot of idiosyncrasies about the product, deliver my project, and became convinced that IW + CGDevTools (including jQuery) was a waste of time. Anyone is welcomed to repeat the experience... Sorry for the rant. David Izada Rodriguez (old, very old Delphi developer)

I am working in Msoft LTD a software company, we provide professional solution to our clients ( enterprise and soho) in many fields: Cellular, AI, IT.... We use Unigui for our projecrs. Unigui is stable and just work out of the box and the big advantage is the Extjs js client-side. We don't search for other solutions because all we want can be found in unigui, it is true that some times we use js code to achieve somethings that doesn't included with Unigui but what's the problem doing it in client side in that way you become familiar with Extjs. We have developed more than 30 web apps and some of them are used by clients world wide. Unigui support (Mr. Farshad) is always a helping one and caring about his customers. Before Unigui we used Intraweb and TMS components for Intraweb and the result was not impressed in every browser a different result.
