Native controls on FMX controls

FMX TMS mCL
1

Hi support,


it seems, that all TMS native controls can only be placed on a TForm.
Is there a way to place native control on e.g. a TPanel or TabControl from FMX?

Regards
Ronald

No this is not possible due to the nature of the FireMonkey framework.

Isn't the TWebBrowser a native control on iOS and Android, which can be embedded 
in other controls? Is this a limit of the firemonkey on Mac?

The TWebBrowser is wrapper around the native WebBrowser component on Mac OS X and "supports" placing it on a TabControl, and automatically handles the Tab switching, but this has been implemented only for the TWebBrowser control, as you can see in the source code of the tab control.


procedure TTabControl.WebBrowserReallign(Sender: TObject);
var
  BrowserManager : IFMXWBService;
begin
  if TPlatformServices.Current.SupportsPlatformService(IFMXWBService, IInterface(BrowserManager)) then
    BrowserManager.ReAlignBrowsers;
end;

Kind Regards,

Hi Pieter,


maybe it will work while using the TEmbeddedControl.
The FM iOS implementation using that way.
