FMX Components

The FireMonkey component library and its run-time library can be arranged in six main branches:

• FireMonkey primitives, such as TLine and TText, descend from TShape.
• FireMonkey styled controls, such as TPanel and TToolbar, descend from TStyledControl.
• FireMonkey 3D controls, such as TCamera, TMesh, and TShape3D, descend from TControl3D.
• Nonstreamable classes, such as TList and TThread, descend from TObject

  These classes are part of the RTL.

• Streamable classes, such as TGradient and TStrings, descend from TPersistent.

  These classes are part of the RTL.

• Nonvisual database components, such as TClientDataSet and TBindScopeDB, descend from TComponent.

  These components are visible at design time but not at run time.
