Getting Started

TMS FNC Core is the shared infrastructure library for all TMS FNC products. It provides framework-neutral components and helpers for PDF generation, web browsing, printing, data binding, SVG rendering, JSON persistence, styling, and UI infrastructure across VCL, FMX, and WEB Core applications.

Prerequisites

Requirement	Minimum version
Delphi / C++Builder	10.1 Berlin
TMS WEB Core for VS Code	1.3

Install TMS FNC Core through the TMS installer or by compiling and installing the runtime package for your Delphi version, for example FMXTMSFNCCorePkgDXE15.dpk for Delphi 12.

Supported Frameworks and Platforms

Framework	Platforms
VCL	Win32, Win64
FMX	Win32, Win64, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux
WEB Core	Chrome, Edge, Firefox

All FNC units are prefixed to match the framework in use. For FMX use FMX.TMSFNCxxx, for VCL use VCL.TMSFNCxxx, and for WEB Core use WEBLib.TMSFNCxxx.

What's Included

PDF Library

Generate PDF documents with text, drawing primitives, images, and HTML-formatted content.

Key class: TTMSFNCGraphicsPDFEngine

uses
  FMX.TMSFNCGraphicsPDFLib;

var
  PDF: TTMSFNCGraphicsPDFEngine;
begin
  PDF := TTMSFNCGraphicsPDFEngine.Create;
  try
    PDF.BeginDocument('output.pdf');
    PDF.NewPage;
    PDF.DrawText('Hello, World!', 50, 50, 200, 20);
    PDF.EndDocument;
  finally
    PDF.Free;
  end;
end;

See PDF Library guide for full coverage.

Web Browser
