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
