Version 6

Overview


NextSuite is 10 years old Delphi/C++ Builder component set, with 5 major versions so far. NextSuite 6 is another major update, but now completely written from skratch. It's based on best features from previous releases and new major features requested by users.

Goals


Our goals with version 6 are:

- Feature rich components
- Modern user interface in components
- Fast and sleek components
- Easy to use and code

All theese goals are achieved with current release, but with version 6 they are be on much higher level.

In version 6 code is much better organized, many features are shared across all components (such as special effects on bitmaps and visual styles). Instead using classes on top of NextSuite, interfaces are used.

Compatibility


NextSuite v6 is a major update from current (version 5) release.

Version 6 controls may be installed and used within same IDE as current version of components. Number 6 is added as suffix to every control in order to prevent conflicts.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Version 6 and older versions are not delete & replace compatible. Main features and properties are the same, but some features are changed and improved.
