RAD Studio comes with hundreds of visual and non-visual components to make developers’ life easier. But not knowing how to use them is the problem most of the time. I have seen many new VCL and FMX developers try to do something within a hard way. So, we are here for you to help on making things easy for you.
Most of the time problems occur when a developer does not know what he has in his development environment. For instance, creating visually-stunning cross-platform user interfaces with FireMonkey sometimes can be intimidating. But, knowing where and when to utilize the exact component is a good sign of a RAD developer.
Here, I would like to discuss the TMultiView component. TMultiView component allows you to create a master-detail interface quickly. So, you can implement a master-detail interface that can be used for any available platform available in the RAD Studio.
How can I create a cross-platform master detail interface?
The Multiview Navigation demo shows you how to implement a master-detail interface and display the Multiview control as a slide-in drawer, popover menu, docked panel, and several modes.

procedure TForm1.ListBox1ItemClick(const Sender: TCustomListBox; const Item: TListBoxItem); begin Item.IsSelected := False; MultiView1.HideMaster; end; procedure TForm1.MultiView1PresenterChanging(Sender: TObject; var PresenterClass: TMultiViewPresentationClass); begin if PresenterClass = TMultiViewNavigationPanePresentation then begin MasterButton.Visible := False; MultiView1.MasterButton := MasterButton2; end else begin MasterButton2.Visible := False; MultiView1.MasterButton := MasterButton; end; end; procedure TForm1.nbDurationSlidingChange(Sender: TObject); begin MultiView1.DrawerOptions.DurationSliding := nbDurationSliding.Value; end; |
Be sure to head over and check out the Multiview Navigation demo on the GetIt portal and download it from the IDE using the GetIt Package Manager
