  1. Thanks..i think i'm going for a subscription on flaticon...the have nice icons
  2. hi i'm looking for new professional outline icons/png for use in uniGui Buying is no problem if it's a good icon pack Any suggestions/links ? Regards Peter
  3. hi I've downloaded the latest beta version and use the example Demo\Desktop\uniTreeMenu In this example in the uniNativeImageList you can select the Font Awesome icons, but there are not all the icons. The Free version has about 990 icons and the pro 1780. How can i add more Font Awesome icons to it or when buying the Pro pack how to integrate them. Regards Peter
  4. Ruslan Don't have to be expensive. Depend on amount of cores you need. These are legal license and i buy them also there. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=shop&q=windows%202016%20sever%20license#spd=15133507900565528223&spf=1523045369736 for a VPS server you don't need a Windows Server license..that's included
  5. I think it is only said that TMS can be a possible competitor. Nobody knows how fast or how good it will be. TMS, of course, also sees opportunities but can also die a silent death just as quickly. Many frameworks have already been developed and just as quickly went into the refrigerator. With every framework it is waiting to see what it will be ... that was also with uniGUI. I myself do not have a need for Intraweb because it's not working for me and our application Promotion through uniGui can be done through various channels and there is no sales department required. The market in frameworks and components is very small. The costs for a sales department in relation to the turnover on the framework is very high. You have to sell a lot of licenses to be able to pay a month's salary and all social charges. Most component suppliers have started like Farshad and when they grow they invest in developers. Look at Elevatesoft, FastReport, DevExpress, Raize components, QuickReport etc. all smaller companies and do not need a sales department to sell their product. Developers look for each other, - like on the forum, and hear and see products, research components and see what is applicable. I have never bought a component through a sales department but by researching on the internet or hearing from other developers. The world has changed ... also from Windows business applications to web applications. That is what I think most of us are doing. We use uniGui to transform our Windows applications into web applications or build new applications in uniGui. That is not for nothing. A web application that is not browser and device independent will not save it in the near future. Not for nothing do suppliers build multitenant SAAS solutions. Of course there are still many standard Windows business applications, but they will also change compleetly/partially and support mobile (device) use. When I look in the Netherlands where I work for a company with 2,500 employees with 400 applications, everyone has a Windows Surface or a Dell laptop as their workplace. Every desk is equipped with a docking station, keyboard, mouse and screen. No more fixed workplace but a flexible workplace. You can work in a conference room, on the train or anywhere else. The new workplace concept that we are developing will be even more based on mobile devices and thus responsive applications. Many software suppliers already make the choice to build a new version as SAAS applications and browser and device independent. The biggest example and success is Microsoft in this. From traditional Windows Office applications to Office365 or Office Online and works on any device..and...it's responsive design. So it is a short turn to say that responsive is for housewives. Perhaps the use of tablets differs per country. Within our company is 78% tablet and 22% laptop user. When I look at Windows or Linux VPS servers, the prices are not far apart. But I can imagine that this is different per country. https://www.strato.nl/server/vps-windows/ https://www.strato.nl/server/vps-linux/ And on a VPS server you can of course install mySQL for free Still, I see little Linux business application developed and choose software companies for Microsoft / Azure. It is good to think about the choices we are going to make ourselves. I am particularly interested in the road that Farshad is going to take. I can not imagine that he will not follow this topic . Everyone has their own view of things and I appreciate and respect that...and it keeps a discussion lively.
  6. I do not think that Farshad needs to hire salesmen but must make a choice about how to go on for the futher. I think there are a few options: - if you develop further at this rate you will be overtaken by the competition with other products like TMS for example - focus primarily on development and inventory what is really needed for an "adult" product. For the time being, no new features, joining ExtJS versions/templatessic state. Service & support via forum as it is now. - be taken over by competitors - provide extra developers The hiring of sales people only makes sense if you want to reach a large target group and a product is ready for all parts including service and support. I have presented uniGui in the Netherlands to Barnsten 2-3 years ago and they are selling it now. This can also be done at the distributors in other countries. If the product and service and support are good, the target group can also be reached through other ways, you do not need salesmen. I myself also faced this dilemma with our Event Management Software. For me, Delphi and programming is not my main task but a hobby that got out of hand. This software is seasonal in relation to the period of festivals, good and extensive software solution, little to no competition, self developed etc. I didn't had the time to promote the software to other events or provide service and support during the event or on multiple events at the same time ... On my own i can't do developing, and promoting and service/support and multiple events. Now I work together with someone who does the events for me and that gives me the time to develop. You can already develop beautiful web applications with uniGui and we see that every day on the forum. But there is more need among current developers to continue faster. As mentioned earlier there will be a time where you have to make choices and that applies to Farshad but also to the developers. I do not know what developers will do if it turns out that TMS WebCore can deliver a comparable product within 6 months because they can develop faster. I would be sorry if I have to switch because it has more functionality for example. uniGui is a very nice framework with all the advantages of Delphi, everyone agrees. Can not hurt to think about the future About the sponsor..ExirBox but also irDevelopers and Board4All
  7. Everyone agrees that Farshad has developed a great framework. Where many other frameworks die a silent death, uniGui has become an almost mature framework. I understand GerhardV's remark very well. We want to develop faster if Farshad can build. Sometimes it is a few default properties for a component that you miss and that you still have to solve with extra code in eg ClientEvents. Extra detours, extra code that you easily forget. Like every one-man business, there will be a tipping point that you can not handle it anymore, maybe just too little turnover to hire someone extra. That is something Farshad has to decide for itself, but personally I think that it needs extra capacity. uniGui will have to develop faster, making it even better and more mature. As a result, other developers will certainly also become interested in uniGui. There are currently no good and mature frameworks such as uniGui. I have also tried Elevatesoft Webbuilder but can not be compared to uniGui, much too cumbersome to link a database, for example. TMS Webcore looks nice in the video but performance is still bad but will quickly develop into a mature framework. There is a team behind and TMS is of course known to Delphi developers. I am still happy with uniGui but uniGui needs to become more mature more quickly, to connect faster with the new version of ExtJS. Components must be provided with more standard properties, as with the standard delphi components.The above is, of course, no reproach to Farshad because it is incredibly handsome what he has developed.
  8. Don't understand what you mean ? I created a separted form which only can access by the administrator for entering new users or edit access. This 'USERS 'table contains usersname, password, fullname, e-mail etc. including fields for the properties you want them to have acces to. Let's say you have a table and form called Country. This tables will be used in a other form as lookup and where the user can select a country. Normally you fill this table Country once and ready. There's 1 user who has to maintain this tabel Country. You create a field in the USERS table called 'access_country' with the value True or False I create a form called USERS for add, editing the users and to grant acces (use a checkbox to set the value for access_country tre or false. that's all
  9. Create a table with you're users and all the menu items or options in you program. Every menu item or button or option is a field in this table. This field can be set true/false. After login you do something like : MainMenu.MenuBank.Enabled := datamodule.table.fieldbyname('Bank').value
  10. Looks nice...good job Question: when clicking a menu option you create a page on the pagecontrol. Ddo you open a form in a page ? Regards Peterl
  11. Hi Sometimes you would like to show the application name, version etc. in you're application I found a nice example which does it all..so let's share it. Add this uVersion.pas to you're project and enter the version information for you're project at main menu Project / Options / Version information and call the routines from the uVersion.pas Greetz Peter uVersion.zip
  12. Hi Marlon Thanks...but where to put the code, ClientEvents-> ?
  13. Hi I use unigui 1.0.0.1425 with uni_mac theme. On the form i place a pagecontrol but you alway see the gradient gray color as background at the top, see image with the red arrow How to remove it and make it my own color, in this case white Regards Peter p.s would be nice some extra properties for a pagecontrol like - tabheight - tabwidth - tabspacing (between tabs) - tabposition
  14. hi Just for the info...don't know if you have seen it: https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/tmswebcoreintro.asp lot's of components...but i think not so good as our UniGui
  15. The attachement was missing...see attachement The form is alligned at the top left site instead op top center mijnCrew.zip
  16. hi I open a form when you click on the 'My account' text.at the left This form needs to be opened in the top centered within UniPanel_Main Now it openens at the left site instead of the top center ​Suggestions ? Regards Peter
  17. Hi I use a separate application server + a separate database server.I notice minimal performance compared to everything on 1 server. This is because we use a VMware server with 2 separate VMs. 1 for the application and 1 for the database. You can also put everything on one physical server, then you keep the traffic internal. Unfortunately I do not use SSL yet, that will be the next step By using the VMware servers, security is also well organized and if something happens on 1 server then it does not affect the other server. Maybe I am privileged because I have my own server in a data center
  18. Hi We have the same concept as Adragan described for uniGui applications - 1 uniGui application server with IIS for 1 or more uniGui applications - 1 mySQL database server for all databases For existing Windows applications we have a portal based on http://www.terminalserviceplus.com You install the Windows application on a Windows 2012/2016 server and the user can run the application in a HTML5 browser. These Windows applications will be migrated to uniGui,- if possible, this year. Why possible...we use lot of direct printing of wristband, rfid card printing, reading/writing. Regards Peter
  19. Hi Take a look at : https://www.strato.com/en_gr/server/windows-vps you're own vps server for €11,- a month, all ssd disk, and unlimitted trafic. I have 2 windows vps servers at strato..works great and fast Also look at this post : http://forums.unigui.com/index.php?/topic/8863-a-good-cheap-cloud-hosting-company/&do=findComment&comment=45601 regards Peter
