In the previous chapter, we provided an overview of the main similarities and differences between FMX (the main focus of this book) and VCL (the other long-standing application framework for Delphi). In this and the next chapter, we will cover the main FMX components that you are going to use while building real-life applications.
In this chapter, to get the most out of your FMX applications, you will learn how components work and familiarize yourself with the most commonly used ones. There are two big sets of components: simple elements (usually single, independent components) and more complex elements that can handle larger amounts of data.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics, all of which are related to the first set of components (simple ones):
- Understanding the TText component
- Understanding shapes
- Managing images effectively...
