LMDI

About

The LMDI Suite ("Lazarus MDI" Interface Simulation) is composed of components to make a simulation of MDI application. It is written entirely based on components already in the VCL/LCL (TPanel, TImage, etc). The LMDI Suite contains the following components:

TButtonsBar = A bar of buttons to minimize, restore and close the child windows (also can be used for other purposes).

TFormPanel = A kind of "child-windows", which will be used as a skeleton for the component TChildDoc (see MultiDoc).

TTitleBar = A bar of title, descendant of TButtonsBar, which will be used in child-windows and will drag these windows in the container (TMultiDoc).

Change Log

• Version 0.1 2007/12/31 First Beta Release.

Dependencies / System Requirements

This component is exclusively derived from high level standard component (TPanel, TImage, etc).

It must work on all the Lazarus platform without change.

It was tested on Windows (2k and XP), but not tested in any Linux distro.

WidgetSets

• Win32: OK. It's work nice;
• GTK2 (Win32): OK. It's work nice! (With some tests, I did found a small problem in title bar height of first child);
• QT (Win32): OK. It's work nice!
