LMD DesignPack – Features

The LMD Design pack comprises five native VCL components that can be compiled into applications without royalties. The controls provide advanced design features by adding object inspector-like controls, extended form designers or diagram-like objects. The components include full source code:

• TLMDDesigner: make enduser design features similar to the form designer in Delphi IDE. The control can be used as a stand alone control for setting a form in design mode or used in connection with the TLMDDesignPanel which acts as container for any TWinControl descendant requiring runtime design features
• TLMDDBDiagramm Class: a specialised variant of the TLMDDiagram component that is used to visualise relationships of database tables similar to the table relationship diagrams
• TLMDDesignPanel: required for using the TLMDDesigner in connection with a TWinControl descendant instead of using the form designer » mode. This control does not provide design features but handles the control for which the design feature should be enabled (adds scrollbars when the design area extends dimensions of TLMDDesignPanel etc)
• TLMDPropertyInspector: simulates the functionality of the object inspector from the Delphi/CBuilder IDE. Integrate advanced design features into applications and use the powerful interface which allows simple integration of custom property editors or extended features
• TLMDDiagram: display boxes that can be linked to each other so that relationships between different items can be made visible.

Features include:

• Object inspector-like component, form designer and diagram based controls
• Demonstration projects
