LMD Tools offers you an almost complete solution for the development of your applications - everything from one single source.
LMD-Tools is a collection of up to 426 native VCL components that can be compiled into your application royalty free, and without the need of additional files for distribution.
Buttons, Dialogs, Multimedia, System, Data-aware, Container, Standard, Label, and Extended controls will allow the developer to produce professional applications, quicker and easier than ever before.
Among other things the main new feature in LMD-Tools 8 is the common LMD 2007 runtime which is shared with LMD ElPack and which includes many new features like Vista controls, enhanced HTML renderer support, native regular expression engine, new XML lib, native PNG support etc.
If you are looking for enhanced functionality of existing components in the VCL, or just want to add that personal touch to your application, LMD Tools has a solution to fit you. And it ships with a vast array of sample projects and demos for all of the components found in the package.
LMD-Tools supports all Delphi/C++ Builder IDEs from release 5 on. Besides that each LMD-Tools license covers LMD-Tools 3.5/5.X license as well (supporting all other prior Delphi and CBuilder versions).
Boost your productivity!
Discover the most extensive and powerful productivity set available! Whatever you want to develop, LMD-Tools is the real thing. This toolbox provides easy-to-use components for all the power you want to implement in your projects. Furthermore LMD-Tools controls provide unique features you won't find in any other component suite.
Since Delphi 1 LMD-Tools represents a component suite which was dedicated to offer flexible components of superior qualitaty for a broad range of development tasks. You can trust this continuity in the future, too.
Never too much of a good thing...
LMD-Tools covers more than 425 components (Relase 8.0 CE) for any task you can imagine. Following component groups are only examples for the broad range of available components: LMD Tools includes controls for superior interface design, system programming, file controls, database applications, internet-/web-components, multimedia, text/data input (RichEdit), display of formatted text and many more.
Most of the visual components support transparency, advanced font effects (3D, outline, ..), different backgrounds or -effects. In latest version an integrated parser supports display of formatted text (e.g. HTML) for many controls. All together, they form a solid base for your development.
Finish your projects in record time!
We did not only create a large component suite: We want to help you to achive your development goals fast and comfortable as well. Therefore almost all components provide component editors allowing fast access to the most important properties. Manipulate common used objects via extended property editors. Check out this unique feature!
Enjoy the object oriented style of LMD-Tools!
Many components are based on a small number of carefully created objects which are used repeatedly in various components. Cut your learning curve: Acquire knowledge of such an object once and be familiar immediately with a broad range of components which use this object.
Team work inside!
Working in a team is more efficient. Realizing this, we made our components and data containers know each other and work with each other. The result: everything fits together really well. Be suprised of what is possible!
Note
This package represents a free extract of almost 100 components of our successful LMD-Tools component suite. Against previous SE releases this version uses the same core like the full releases without any limitations. Even the same runtime packages are now included.

· More than 348 components for various development tasks
· PrintPack, RichPack, ShellPack and SysPack bonus packages included
· More than 80 component and property editors
· MegaDemo project containing more than 200 single projects
· Supports Delphi 5 and better (including VCL.NET)
· Includes a 5.X Standard License for Delphi 3, 4 support.
· Includes a 3.5 Standard License for Delphi 1, 2 support.

Requirements:
· Operating System and hardware requirements depend on the installed Delphi/C++ Builder version.
· Support for Delphi version 5 and higher (including VCL.NET). Professional packages (and better) support correesponding C++ Builder releases.
· Required Space: ~20 MB (Standard version).
· Media Type: CD-ROM or online

Limitations:
· Against commercial versions, the freeware version limitations are among others:
· · Major components like the ButtonBar, SplitterPanel, Extended Dialog, Datasensitive or TLMDCalendar related controls are missing.
· · Several enhanced editors are missing.

What's New in This Release:
· Compatibility with Delphi/C++ Builder 2010
· Support for Delphi/CBuilder 5 and Delphi 8 was dropped (licenses for older releases are as always included, though).
· This resulted in code cleanup and optimization, because much redundant legacy code could be removed.
· Number of LMD-Tools editions was reduced to 2 (LMD-Tools SE and LMD-Tools, which is equal to previous LMD-Tools CE licenses minus DesignPack/ScriptPack)
LMD 2010 Shared Runtime:
· LMD-Tools, LMD ElPack and LMD IDE-Tools share the same core runtime. This avoids redundant code and provides common advanced features for all major LMD products. This includes a shared Unicode library, improved HTMLRenderer (including support for display of TGraphic descendants) and shared imagelist support (all main LMD imagelist container are part of the LMD Shared Runtime packages), advanced designtime support (completely new editors for all LMD container controls, new splashscreen and configuration dialog, new component editor for TLMDGraph...
