Getting started

Requirements

• Delphi 10.1 Berlin or later
• TMS FNC Core (required dependency)
• TMS FNC UI Pack

Drop a toolbar

1. Drop one of the toolbars — for example TTMSFNCFontToolBar — onto a form.
2. Set its Control property to the rich editor it should drive.
3. The toolbar builds its buttons automatically and keeps them in sync with the editor's selection; handle the toolbar's events to react to user actions.

Minimal example

Connect a font toolbar to an editor. The bar's buttons immediately reflect and apply formatting to the bound control:

Toolbars connect controlPascalC++

// Connect a TTMSFNCFontToolBar to a TTMSFNCRichEditor via the Control property.
// The toolbar reads and applies font changes directly to the editor.

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  TMSFNCFontToolBar1.Control     := TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCParagraphToolBar1.Control := TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCInsertToolBar1.Control    := TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCClipboardToolBar1.Control := TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCFileIOToolBar1.Control    := TMSFNCRichEditor1;
end;

// Connect a TTMSFNCFontToolBar to a TTMSFNCRichEditor via the Control property.
// The toolbar reads and applies font changes directly to the editor.

void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)
{
  TMSFNCFontToolBar1->Control      = TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCParagraphToolBar1->Control = TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCInsertToolBar1->Control    = TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCClipboardToolBar1->Control = TMSFNCRichEditor1;
  TMSFNCFileIOToolBar1->Control    = TMSFNCRichEditor1;
}

Next steps

• Connecting toolbars to an editor — the five toolbars and the Control property
• Formatting toolbars — font and paragraph options, events and state
• Action toolbars — clipboard, insert and file I/O
• Appearance and layout — styling, compact mode and the options menu
