: Displays global character sets in a tabular layout. TTntDBEdit : Enables direct editing of Unicode data fields. 3. System and Dialog Utilities
For a typical migration, a developer would start by installing the pack into their IDE. Following the standard component installation process, the "Tnt" control palette tabs will become available. From there, existing forms can be updated by manually replacing standard VCL controls with their TTnt counterparts.
While newer Delphi versions have built-in Unicode support, the TMS Unicode Component Pack is invaluable for developers working on older versions (e.g., Delphi 7, 2005, 2006, 2007) that are inherently ANSI-based. TMS Unicode Component Pack v2.5.0.1
: Targeted at Delphi 5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006, and 2007, as well as C++Builder 5, 6, and 2007. License and Source : Professional licenses typically include the full source code , allowing for custom modifications. Successor: TMS VCL UI Pack
TMS Unicode Component Pack integrates directly into the Delphi and C++Builder Object Inspector. This means Unicode string properties can be designed and edited directly within the IDE, simplifying the UI creation process. 4. IME Compatibility : Displays global character sets in a tabular layout
Change standard type declarations (e.g., change TEdit to TTMSUnicodeEdit ). Right-click and select .
that allow applications to display and process multilingual text (Unicode) seamlessly. Replacement Controls System and Dialog Utilities For a typical migration,
TMS Unicode Component Pack v2.5.0.1 is a specialized library of over 60 direct VCL control replacements designed to add full Unicode support to legacy Delphi and C++Builder environments. While newer versions of Delphi (2009 and later) have built-in Unicode, this pack remains a critical tool for developers maintaining older projects or migrating existing Unicode-enabled applications. TMS Software Core Functionality
Prior to Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009, Embarcadero (formerly Borland and CodeGear) IDEs used standard AnsiString data types for user interface controls.
Features a Unicode-enabled object inspector for Delphi and C++Builder, allowing developers to manage international text directly in the IDE.
This pack is a successor to the popular, now-deprecated Tnt Unicode Controls. It provides a smooth migration path, allowing developers to modernize their codebase.
