DevExpress VCL Dashboards — Store Dashboard Layouts in a Database

This sample app stores a dashboard layout (XML-based template) in the BLOB field of a memory-based dataset (TdxMemData inherited from the TDataSet class shipped with the standard VCL library).

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Windows 10 or newer
• Embarcadero RAD Studio IDE 12.3 (Athens) or newer (Community Edition is not supported)
• DevExpress VCL Components v25.2.3 or newer

Test the Example

1. Run the sample app.
2. Click New Dashboard to create a new dashboard and a dataset record. Alternatively, you can click Design Dashboard to modify the existing dashboard.
3. Create or modify the dashboard layout using tools available within the UI.
4. Click the hamburger button, select the Save option, and close the dialog.
5. Close the app. The TdxMemData component will store layout data between sessions.
6. Run the sample again. Click on grid records to switch between loaded dashboards.
