LMD-Tools

Latest version: 2022.6

 

Introduction

 

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 quality 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 500 components 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 achieve 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 surprised of what is possible!
