Components

LMD Bar

	TLMDExplorerBar TLMDExplorerBar mimics the behaviour of the Explorer Bar known from MS Windows XP. Similar like a ButtonBar, the sections can be extended/minimized by arrow buttons to show/hide the content of the panels. The control provides various possibilities to implement different visual styles. Inner panels can be either usual item lists, control containers or owner drawn areas.
	TLMDExplorerBarStorage TLMDExplorerBarStorage is used to store different sets of panels for display in TLMDExplorerBar. Thus switching between different "pages" at runtime is made simple (for example to achieve a dynamic set of options like in Windows Explorer, where shown options depend on the current folder).
	TLMDExplorerBarController TLMDExplorerBarController is used to predefine different custom visual settings for TLMDExplorerBar, so that at runtime only one line of code is required to switch to a new visual style.
	TLMDSectionBar TLMDSectionBar represents an extended variation of TLMDButtonBar known from LMD-Tools. Notable differences are the slightly changed look and feel (like in Visual Studio), the extended funktionality for inner items (can be selected and pressed via code) and certainly the possible use of TLMDSectionBarStorage and TLMDSectionBarController components.
	TLMDSectionBarStorage TLMDSectionBarStorage is used to store different sets of sections for use in TLMDSectionBar. Thus switching between different "section set" at runtime is made simple.
	TLMDSectionBarController TLMDSectionBarController is used to predefine different custom visual settings for TLMDSectionBar, so that at runtime only one line of code is required to switch to a new visual style.
	TLMDSectionBarPopupMenu The TLMDSectionBarPopupMenu control has been designed for adding enduser design features to section bars without coding. Enduser may add, rename or delete sections or items. In addition the popup menu will take care of enabling/disabling possible actions automatically.
	TLMDBarHTMLLabel TLMDBarHTMLLabel represents a label control with simple HTML rendering capabilities (mainly font faces and standard font attributes). However the control uses a very lean and fast internal parser.
