LMD DialogPack
Latest Version: 2017.3
Introduction
The LMD Dialog Pack consists of a number of components that not only emulate the Windows Vista TaskDialog and TaskDialogIndirect API functions on other operating systems but also provides enhancements over those APIs (e.g. custom header settings, extended text formatting, integration of checkboxes etc)…
There are components for enhancing the dialogs with edit controls and also replacing the Radio Button functionality with Check Boxes. Also included are three Password specific dialogs, that allow you to capture password information by dropping a component on your form and writing a line or two of validation code.
LMD DialogPack allows you to create applications that look and act like they are using the native Vista and Windows 7 API. With LMD DialogPack you can:
- Create and configure new dialogs easily.
- Create complex dialogs that accept and require several inputs. If default options are not sufficient, you can use frames to insert any controls into your dialog.
- Take advantage of visual Component Editors and IDE Expert for dialog creations.
- Ready to use editor templates for fast code creation.
- Modify only your uses clause of existing applications to use the new dialog look and feel.
- Control the appearance of all your applications Dialogs in one place.
- Centralized resourcestrings for easy translation into the language you require.
