Feature Notes

TLMD3DCaption, TLMDFxCaption

Under Vista: Tracing property --> AutoSize no longer work correctly when Tracing feature is used

LMD Shell Tab

All 4 components of LMD Shell tab are now part of LMD ShellPack

Unit name changes

LMDCPGet.pas

Features of LMDCPGet unit were splitted to following new units: pLMDCPGetCore and pLMDCPGetMain

LMDGraph.pas

Several featurs of LMDGraph.pas were moved to LMDGraphUtils.pas (Simply adding LMDGraphUtils.pas to uses clause solves this problem)

LMD Packs

LMD BarPack

• LMDBarCommon unit is no longer used
• LMDBarCtlXPSupported --> LMDApplication.XPThemesSupported (unit LMDClass).

LMD RichPack

• LMDRichRumpTo --> LMDFireURL (LMDProcs)
• Several basic routines in LMDRTFBase.pas can now be found in LMDProcs and LMDUtils shared RTL units.
• Conversion routines can now be found in LMDConversion.pas unit.

LMD ShellPack

• Unit LMDShCmp50 is no longer available, simply remove from uses clause.
• TLMDSystemFolder types (sfDesktop, sfMyComputer etc.) are now defined in LMDShUtils unit.
• LMDDirectoryExists method removed, use DirectoryExists method from VCl (filectrl unit).
• LMDSHXPRes.pas, res removed completely. Use shared LMDXPRes.pas instead.

LMD SysPack

• Several basic routines in LMDSysBase.pas can now be found in LMDProcs, LMDSysIn and LMDUtils shared RTL units.

LMD WebPack

• ReplaceStr --> LMDAnsiReplacestr (LMDStrings unit)

LMD ElPack

• if TElFString is used => uses ..., LMDTypes
  
• replace:
  • ElUnicodeStrings -> LMDUnicodeStrings
  • TElBorderSides -> TLMDBorderSides
  • TElBkGndType -> TLMDBackgroundType (type with many new gradient's styles)
• if you get message "The <Method Name> method referenced by <Form Name>.<Event Name> has an incompatible parameter list. Remove the reference?" then you need to replase TElFString on TLMDString in <Form Name>.<Event Name>
• ElUxTheme -> LMDXPStyles
• ThemesAvailable -> XPThemesAvailable
• DrawArrow -> LMDDrawArrow (LMDGraphUtils)
• FireURL -> LMDFireURL (LMDProcs)
• GetOwnerFrameForm -> LMDGetOwnerFrameForm (LMDProcs)
• GetOwnerForm -> LMDGetOwnerForm (LMDProcs)

A lot of basic routines in ElStrUtils can now be found in LMDUnicode.pas or LMDStrings.pas. Usually the new name is equal old name with LMD prefix (ex: WideStrAlloc -> LMDWideStrAlloc) but several was renamed. You can find the list of this exclusions below:

• CompareWideStr -> LMDWideCompareStr
• SameWideStr -> LMDWideSameStr
• IsDigit -> LMDAnsiIsNumeric
• IsDigitStr -> LMDAnsiIsNumericStr
• uni2uppers, uni2lowers was moved to LMDUnicode without renaming
• WideTrimLeft -> LMDWideTrimL
• WideTrimRight -> LMDWideTrimR
• const SPathDelimiters, SWidePathDelimiters -> LMDPathDelimiters, LMDWidePathDelimiters
• GetWideStringOf -> LMDWideGetStringOf
• GetWideCharRangeString -> LMDWideGetCharRangeString
• H2D -> LMDAnsiH2D
• H2DDef -> LMDAnsiH2DDef
• IsAlpha -> LMDAnsiIsAlpha
• StrStartsWith -> LMDAnsiStrStartsWith
• ContainsAt -> LMDAnsiContainsAt
• SetWideString -> LMDWideSetString

A lot of basic routines in ElVCLUtils can now be found in other modules such as LMDGraphUtils, LMDProcs etc. Usually the new name is equal old name with LMD prefix. Exclusions:

• GradientFill -> LMDGradientPaint (parameters are little changed)

Functions from ElCBFmts has moved to LMDUtils

• GetFormatName -> LMDGetClipboardFormatName
• GetFormatIndex -> LMDGetClipboardFormatIndex
• HasFormat -> LMDHasClipboardFormat
• ElGraphics.ElDrawSmoothLine -> LMDGraphUtils.LMDDrawSmoothLine

Functions from ElInprocHookAPI has moved to LMDInprocHookAPI

• TElList -> TLMDObjectList

ElColor was deleted. Its functions has analog in LMDGraphUtils

• BrightColor -> LMDColorLighter
• DarkColor -> LMDColorDarker
• ElExtBkgnd.ExtDrawBkgnd -> LMDGraphUtils.LMDExtDrawBkgnd
• ElExtBkgnd2.ExtDrawBkgnd -> LMDGraphUtils.LMDExtDrawBkgnd2
