edited December 2012 in FastReport 4.0
We are pleased to present the availability of Mida V. 3.0 for Delphi XE2 / XE3 and C++ Builder XE2 / XE3

What's Mida

Mida is a complete converter of Embarcadero Delphi and C++ Builder VCL applications to FireMonkey applications.
It is able to fully convert over 200 components with more being added in each new release. It fully supports and updates the data modules updating the .pas, .cpp, and .dpr files in both Delphi and C++ Builder.
VCL Framework and FireMonkey frameworks are very different and in some cases single click conversions are not possible. But in most cases you can generate a new FireMonkey application with only a few manual changes required.

    Does anyone know how well this works for converting QR to FR?

    We are not going to FireMonkey but would like to switch report engines.

    What is the upgrade policy as far as TMS components are concerned?
    Do they form part and parcel of future Delphi upgrades or will they have to be purchased as separate components?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
