What is Embarcadero RAD Studio 11.0?
RAD Studio(r), the ultimate IDE for creating single-source native apps for multiple platforms with Delphi(r), modern C++ and advanced Windows desktop UI library libraries for Windows 11, adds high DPI support to IDE. This allows developers to work on larger screens at higher resolutions. The IDE now supports the latest 4k+ high resolution monitors, which improves developer productivity.
Use RAD for 4k+ Screens
RAD Studio 11 provides high-DPI support for the IDE. This allows developers to work on large, high-resolution screens. Developers can now use the latest 4k+ high resolution monitors for better productivity.
FireMonkey Windows now uses the same DP (rather than Pixel) model of all platforms. This offers significant improvements in the app rendering on Windows HighDPI or 4K monitors.
Design Time with VCL Styles
VCL Styles now offers design-time support. You can prototype stylish UIs faster with VCL Styles' instant design-time view. This allows you to see how your controls and forms will run when they are running.
Modern UIs can be improved by understanding how styles affect the UI at runtime at design time. It is particularly useful to create better UIs quicker when using per-control styles.
Windows 11 is coming soon!
Windows 11 provisioning support with integrated MSIX generation. WebBrowser component to Windows. Supports both the IE ActiveX control and the new Microsoft WebView 2 control (Chromium based Edge).
Visually build native Windows applications with Enhanced VCL Form Designer. C++ RTL and Enhanced Delphi for 32-bit Windows.
