Ensuring the compatibility of the DevExpress component 3.2 with Delphi 11

Our client was a provider of software solutions for laboratories. The company has been working in the market since 1994. They had an app built with Delphi 7 that used different components, including DevExpress 3.2 and dxGrid. At the moment, when the customer contacted us, their software was being migrated to Delphi 11. The majority of components were successfully transferred to the newer version of the technology by their in-house team without any serious difficulties. However, they faced some challenges with DevExpress. The company didn’t want to start using a newer version of DevExpress, such as cxGrid. Instead of that, they wanted to modify the existing DevExpress 3.2 components to make them compatible with Delphi 11.
