Migrating VCL Applications to FireMonkey Manually
Although there is no direct migration path between the VCL and FireMonkey, you can:
- Create a new FireMonkey application.
- Modify, cut and paste the content of your existing VCL application into your new FireMonkey application.
This method is essentially refactoring your VCL application so that it becomes a FireMonkey application. See Commonly Encountered Differences Between the VCL and FireMonkey for a list of issues that you might find during the conversion.
