1stClass Studio XE5 – 9/17/13 – Version 12.0.1.1
System Requirements
Delphi XE4
Compatibility issues of 1stClass Studio/Win32:
1stClass Studio XE5 is designed to be backwards compatible with 1stClass XE4, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2006, and 1stClass 4000.
The only change for versions of 1stClass prior to 2006 is for the TfcImageForm. If you are using this component in a dialog, you will need to call the ApplyBitmapRegion method for the imageform from your form’s OnShow event.
fcImageForm1.ApplyBitmapRegion;
Without the above code, the form will not take on the shape of the image form’s bitmap.
C++ backwards compatibility : For C++ projects there are a few housecleaning items to take care of in your project to compile with the new version. They are listed as follows.
1. If you use the OnDrawText event of a StatusBar panel, then you will need to change the reference of AnsiString & Text to UnicodeString & Text. Change this for both the header (.h) file and the source file (.cpp).
2. Existing C++ Builder projects will need to modify the references to the infopower header files so that they are preceeded by vcl. For instance, if you have a reference to …
#include “fcstatusbar.hpp”
in your source header file, this will need to be changed to
#include “vcl.fcstatusbar.hpp”
3. Similarly C++ Project source files will need to change the references to the #pragma reference to also be preceeded by a vcl. For instance if you have a reference to …
#pragma link "fcstatusbar"
in your source .cpp file, this will need to be changed to
#pragma link "vcl.fcstatusbar"
