Delphi 2007 Spacely Screen Shot

I got an nice present in my mail... a screen shot of Delphi 2007 Spacely to share with my blog readers.

I got in my mail an interesting email from CodeGear, with a screen shot of Delphi "Spacely" running on Vista. As you can see, the product title appears to be "CodeGear Delphi 2007 for Win32". From what I know, in fact, this coming version of Delphi is focused purely on Delphi native (Win32) development.

The screen shot (below) shows the new TTaskDialog component, clearly one of the new Vista-specific features of Delphi 2007. IN case you don't know, TaskDialogs are a new features introduced at the native API level by Microsoft in Windows Vista. Notice the properties of the TTaskDialog class in the Object Inspector, as well as the dialog itself showing in the IDE (some sort of preview?).

If you look at the form at design time, there seems to be good support for the Vista enhanced "Aero" UI with properly painted controls. So here is the screen shot:

TaskDialog

PS: Hopefully the extra load won't crash my blog server, that's been a little unstable over the last few days (due to a software update I made).

Update (14 Feb 2007)

I noticed after posting that Dr. Bob has a second screen shot. I also just realized this is the "12 birthday" of Delphi, but this is worth another post.

Great! I'm looking forward to put my hands on this new
release of Delphi, hoping it will help my software to
fully support Vista.

Your screenshot is much cooler than Dr Bob's!

Vista's new Aero UI sure looks good but it makes
taking rectangular screenshots ugly!

My number one hope is for a Delphi which doesn't
require Error Insight to be turned off to be
functional.. :).

A new nice feature is a decent build tool, but let's
hope they fixed the lousy help files...

Wait and see, as usual.

The "preview" is the design-time view of the form.
