Características

Accessibility, Microsoft UI Automation, and Keyboard Navigation Enhancements

• VCL Data Grid: Master-detail tables, in-place edit forms, and summary/find/filter panels are now exposed as nested UIA nodes for the Data Grid control.
• VCL Tree List: Bands and summary/find/filter panels are now mapped to corresponding UIA nodes of the Tree List control.
• VCL Data Editors: DevExpress added UI Automation support for more in-place and standalone editors. Al newly supported editors allow you to customize UI automation node settings accessible via the Properties.Automation property.

High DPI and Rendering/Performance

• Form resize performance on Windows 11 and WXI Compact is now 30 - 35% better for TdxRibbonForm (with rounded corners and other default settings).
• Optimized skinned forms and vector-based UI elements. As a result, the Mail Client demo forms are rendered 10 - 20% faster.
• The new TdxWindowFrame shadow behaves like the native OS shadow, but is up to 10x faster compared to the previous implementation. It includes an expanded resize zone, distinct rendering for active and inactive forms and is always applied on Windows 11 (and on Windows 10 for forms with square corners).

Fluent UI Support

• VCL Layout Control - Rounded Mode
  • The DevExpress Layout Control can now render rounded corners and padding around individual UI elements (layout groups and embedded controls) whenever the WXI or WXI Compact skin is used.

VCL Template Kit

• v26.1 ships with a VCL Template Kit designed to quickly create common application types and frequently used UI forms. The Template Kit includes both project and form templates, allowing you to scaffold complete applications or add new forms and modules to existing projects. Like its DevExpress .NET counterpart, the VCL Template Kit addresses typical business usage scenarios (such as data-centric forms, master-detail layouts, and common navigation patterns).
• Available App Generation Options
  • VCL Application Builder: Allows you to build modular/multi-view applications from scratch - from selecting the desired navigation structure to adding one or more views with pre-configured DevExpress UI controls based on project requirements.
  • Toolbar/UI Application Templates: Generate a pre-configured blank form with a Ribbon or Toolbar UI, ready for integration with a DevExpress UI control.
  • UI Control-Specific Templates: Generate fully-functional app projects with a Ribbon UI/Navigation Bar and an integrated DevExpress UI control (BI Dashboard Viewer, Rich Text Editor, Spreadsheet, Scheduler, etc.).
  • Form Creation Templates: Add a pre-configured form with a Ribbon/Toolbar UI and a DevExpress UI control to an existing app project.

VCL BBCode-Inspired Rich Text Formatting Support

• Hints in BBCode-Formatted Text
  • You can now add hints to BBCode-formatted text using the new HINT markup tag. The tag can be combined with hyperlinks (to redefine hyperlink hints) and other markup tags.

RAD Studio v13.1 Support

• The most recent release (VCL v26.1.2+) officially supports recent versions of RAD Studio (Delphi 13.1 and C++Builder 13.1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers).
• Native Windows on ARM Compiler (Arm64EC)
  • Windows ARM 64-bit support (introduced in RAD Studio 13.1) is available as a Community Technology Preview in the v26.1 release cycle. The ARM support includes installer and IDE integration along with basic/manual tests of the demos and internal apps.
