Description

Specifies the type of implementation.

Use the Provider property to select the GUIx component implementation:

Value	Description
Forms	VCL based implementation for Delphi / C++ Builder. LCL based implementation for Lazarus / FPC.
FMX	FireMonkey based implementation for Delphi / C++ Builder XE2 and higher.
Console	Console based implementation.

  After setting the Provider property at design-time, save the form and the corresponding implementation unit is automatically added to the uses section of the from. At run-time you need to manually add the corresponding implementation unit to the uses section. If the corresponding implementation is not linked into the application, an exception will be raised. See the description of the corresponding component for the supported implementations. 

Note: If the Provider property changes its value, then developers need to delete the implementation units for the old Provider value from the uses sections. For example, switching from 'Forms' to 'FMX' requires to delete the TFDGUIxFormsXxx units. 

If the Provider property value is not explicitly assigned, the default value is used. By default this is 'FMX' for FireMonkey based applications, 'Console' for Windows console applications and 'Forms' - otherwise.

The Provider property value must be assigned before the first usage of the component.

Example

uses
uADGUIxFMXfLogin;
....
FDGUIxLoginDialog1.Provider := 'FMX';
FDConnection1.LoginDialog := ADGUIxLoginDialog1;
FDConnection1.Connected := True;
