About FB support in Delphi Weaver

The first session was a “state of the art” keynote by David I, of Embarcadero Technologies. He covered the status of the company (the new owner of Delphi, since the event last year) and its the commercial offering, but delved also in the Delphi Roadmap announced recently (at the San Jose conference, as covered by this blog), demononstrated gesture support in a Delphi Weaver application and also the new Firebird native dbExpress driver. This is the first time this was shown in public, as far as I know.

ListView and Pagination in Delphi + Firebird

Via Leonardo’s Delphi and FreePascal blog

This is one of those things I needed for ages, but didn’t bothered to implement
because I thought it could require an unnecessary amount of work, and allways
opted for a less perfectionist method.

I’m talking about a method to retrieve data in Pages, then browse it in a ListView
transparently for the user.
