The FMXTileList overview demo is full of bugs. Changing the wallpaper seems to change the row height instead, and I had to comment out code in the form create event, and add code to the checkboxes on change event in order to show hide the header and footer for tilelist1. Just adding the code caused a crash on loading, and it wasn't until I realised that the boxes are unchecked in the Form onCreate event and removed that code as well, that it stopped crashing.
Also, the search and filter feature is something I still haven't gotten working properly.
I also see in another post in this forum ( http://www.tmssoftware.com/site/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2946&title=ttmsfmxtilelist-link-to-dataset )
that there was a live binding example for the tile list but that is no longer distributed with the latest download (14/11/2014).
This is a great looking control and I would love to use it, but !!!!!!! Is the live bindings demo still available anywhere? Are some of these problems to do with the tile list, or other controls used to change the tile lists properties?
Hi,
Which version of Delphi are you using? We have investigated this here and have improved the demo. The demo was created with the first version of the TTMSFMXTileList and the Styles from XE4. Unfortunately, the style files show incompatibilities between different versions of Delphi. We try to keep compatibility between all supported versions, but it might be possible that we will have to add a demo that is supported starting from XE5 or XE6.
For LiveBindings, you can try out the following sample (which is created for XE7)
Kind Regards,

I'm using Delphi XE7 Ultimate edition. That might well be the problem as it does seem to be styles that is causing the problem with the wallpaper part of the demo. Also the code refers to the bitmap in a loop that concatenates the string 'background' with the loop index. I think this should be changed to 'wallpaper' or there would be an "index out of bounds" error when the 3rd wallpaper is chosen in the combobox, as there are only 2 background images in the style. Many thanks for the link

We will investigate here to improve this demo. Thank you for your feedback.
Kind Regards,
