LMD VCL - Description

<< Back to Getting started page

[edit]

The LMD 2011 VCL Release continues the modularization and integration of the three main LMD VCL products:
LMD-Tools, LMD ElPack and LMD IDE-Tools. They are based on the same shared modules/packages.

Most common features like unicode, printing support, logging tools, theme services or regular expression support are shared equally, thus development of these features can be optimized and redundant code avoided. Besides that all main packages or sub packages can (and even should!) be installed into the same installation folder on your system.
The following images describes all available packages and their relationships:

• LMD-Tools is available in 2 editions: Full version and the freeware SE Edition. The full version is equivalent to the former LMD-Tools CE release, except that no longer DesignPack and ScriptPack are included (which are now included in LMD IDE-Tools). For more information about included controls and packages check out the LMD-Tools product page.
• Against previous releases there are no longer different editions of LMD ElPack. The one and only edition which can be purchased now is equivalent to the former ElPack Professional release.
• The LMD IDE-Tools product comprises the already available DesignPack and ScriptPack packages and adds a fully unicode enabled SyntaxEdit control along with powerful IDE integration features.
• All packages together can be purchased in LMD 2011 VCL Complete Pack, which is also available with a 2-year subscription (includes all (major) updates during subscription period) and SVN access (access to the most current development trunk with any SVN client + usage of DevUtil to generate any possible combination of LMD packages in a simple and fast manner).
