LMD Innovative - Forum https://forum.lmd.de/discussions/feed.rss?lt%3B%2Flink=&gt= Sat, 30 May 2026 17:09:16 +0000 LMD Innovative - Forum en-CA Selection already changed in AfterInPlaceEditOperation with TElTreeInplaceComboBox https://forum.lmd.de/discussion/1248/selection-already-changed-in-afterinplaceeditoperation-with-teltreeinplacecombobox Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:56:12 +0000 Konzeptum GmbH 1248@/discussions
we are using a TElXTree with EplorerEditMode set to true. After exiting a TElTreeInplaceComboBox via click on another row, the TElXTree's .Selected.Index will already have the new index value when arriving at the editor's .AfterInPlaceEditOperation event.
With the others (at least TElTreeInplaceEdit, TElTreeInplaceCheckBox), the Selected.Index will still have the old value.

The difference also becomes obvious with TElxTree.OnItemFocused:
  • with e. g. TElTreeInplaceEdit it's AfterInPlaceEditOperation -> OnItemFocused
  • with TElTreeInplaceComboBox it's OnItemFocused -> AfterInPlaceEditOperation
I'd expect the sequence to always be the first one, especially if "The AfterOperation methods are bound to OnExit events of the editors by default" from
still holds.

We have tested with Delphi 11.3 + LMD 2022.10 and 13.1 + 2025.4 (the older one also has the "no parent window bug" with the CheckBox, which seems to be irrelevant in this regard, though)

Can this be addressed or am I missing something/should not rely on the sequence?

Thanks for checking and all the best,

I'm not sure what's going on but the horizontal scrollbars for me are behaving kinda odd, the horizontal scrollbar just keeps growing and growing when dragging the mouse with a text selection.

I noticed MaxHorizScroll property which is 500 by default but even setting it lower it behaves strange.

Additionally, how could we calculate the optimal HorizScroll? I imagine we need to get the longest line in the document?

we’ve encountered a reproducible issue with TLMDScriptControl.Prepare() that appears to be a parser/compiler problem in Pascal-Script.

Prepare() hangs indefinitely for a specific syntax pattern.

Example Script:
var
  i, x;
begin
  x := 'a';
  for i := 0 to 10 do
  begin    
    if (x = 'a') or (x = 'x') then
      ShowMessage('a')
    else
      ShowMessage('b');
  end;
end;

As far as we observed, the issue only occurs with this combination:
  • for loop
  • if..then..else
  • or-condition
  • parenthesized sub-expressions
Variations that work:
  • Removing parentheses around the OR operands (if x = 'a' or x = 'x' then)
  • Removing the else branch
  • Removing the for loop
  • Splitting the condition:
     if x = 'a' then
       ...
     else if x = 'x' then
       ...

We encountered that Problem in LMD ScriptPack 2022.10 and 2025.4.
Is this a known issue in the Pascal-Script parser/compiler?]]> Lmddocking: how to add Icon left to TabCaption? https://forum.lmd.de/discussion/1245/lmddocking-how-to-add-icon-left-to-tabcaption Wed, 01 Apr 2026 14:41:37 +0000 ANDREA GIAQUINTO 1245@/discussions Hello,

we have an issue with the TElComboBox (latest release, Delphi 13 Win64):



First is how it is displayed at runtime, second is how it is displayed at design-time (as we want it to look at runtime also).

ThemeMode := ttmNone;
Color := $003F3F3F;
ButtonColor := $003F3F3F;
ButtonArrowColor := $00FC9F2E;

If we call 

ElComboBox1.ThemeMode := ttmNative;
ElComboBox1.ThemeMode := ttmNone;

at runtime, it will be displayed properly.

Any ideas?

]]> Replacing old AQDock docking manager with LMD Dock https://forum.lmd.de/discussion/1237/replacing-old-aqdock-docking-manager-with-lmd-dock Fri, 21 Nov 2025 15:13:45 +0000 Intrepid Control Systems Inc 1237@/discussions
We are replacing an old docking manager with LMD.  So far, everything works as expected.  When we create new windows, I can create them as the dkTool type, and that type ALSO allows docking.  The problem with the dkTool type is that it doesn't seem to support tabbing, so when several items are docked in a dkTool, we will see a button bar along the bottom, which won't replace the AQDock functionality exactly.

To replace AQDock functionality, I would like to have new forms use the ClientKind = dkDocument, which does not allow docking by default.  My thought is that I could add a site to all dkDocument windows.  The dkDocument would then allow tabbed content, which would duplicate what we had with AQDock.  Is this the right way of thinking and do you have any suggestions on how to go about this?

As a side note, I noticed an existing VCL property that was accidentally set on a couple of our forms called DockSite = true -- interestingly, LMD wrapped windows would interact with those windows, although the results were not as expected and I've since removed this propertly.  If it is as simple as setting a property, that would be great, but I suspect we will need to add a Site to each of our spawned windows if we want them to behave like I described?  Thank you for any advice.

With regards,

Bill at Intrepid

See mock image attached.

The behavior pretty much works here but it uses a TLMDDockSite on either side, the trouble is if you dock say LMDDockPanel1 from the left dock site, into the right dock site, because the left dock site is now empty it shouldnt take the space up, but it still does. I imagine I need to hide the dock sites if no panels are docked, and show them again when a panel is in docking mode?

i'll see if this will work..

]]> Firemonkey Form in Dock Panel? https://forum.lmd.de/discussion/1228/firemonkey-form-in-dock-panel Thu, 14 Aug 2025 03:46:06 +0000 Craig Thomson 1228@/discussions
https://github.com/LaKraven/MonkeyMixer

https://parnassus.co/tfiremonkeycontainer-a-vcl-control-for-mixing-vcl-and-fmx/

The trouble is it feels a little clunky (undocking a tab makes the FMX form / content disappear) and performance becomes rather slow when the Window is made bigger.

Has anyone successfully mixed FMX with the LMD docking and can provide some useful tips?

I need to use VCL for the docking, but I also need FMX as I want to render 3D content in the dock panel.

Thanks

It does not happen in all forms and frames, and I have only seen the problem on forms and frames with multiple TElXtree components. Are you aware of this problem or do you need more information from me? I have not tried to debug with the source code of LMD ElPack. I have tried to downgrade to version 2024.8 to confirm that the access violation goes away with the previous version, and it does.

image]]> High DPI bug in LMD Docking Pack 2024 https://forum.lmd.de/discussion/1222/high-dpi-bug-in-lmd-docking-pack-2024 Mon, 23 Jun 2025 03:11:08 +0000 Energy One Ltd 1222@/discussions
Problem:
The floating panel/window and the glow outline are painted in different positions when the panel is on a monitor with scaling set to something other than 100%.

Scenario:
Run the LMD Docking Demo on a system that has two monitors, primary set to 100% scaling and a second monitor set to 150% scaling.
Drag one of the docked panels out of the main window so that it is floating.
Drag that panel to the secondary monitor with 150% scaling.

Expected:
Glow border is painted in the correct position, as shown here when it is on the primary 100% scaling monitor:

Result:
The glowing border outline is painted in a different position to the panel window, offset horizontally and vertically which  changes depending on where on the monitor the panel is dragged as shown below.
There are also strange glow outlines painted in strange positions while the panel window is visible on both monitors and some strange jumping/movement of the panel window shortly after moving it to a different monitor.

This is a problem both with Delphi 12.2 and 10.1, in both the LMD Docking Demo and in our own application (which is not DPI aware).

I was unable to try LMD Docking Pack 2025 because the download links are broken (see next post).

UPDATE: I tried changing the DPI Awareness manifest setting in the project options of the LMD Docking Demo and found that ONE SETTING WORKS: Per Monitor v2.
If the setting is anything else then the position of the glow/border is incorrect. In our application we use a setting of None.
]]> LMD Docking Pack: Register FloatingDockSiteClass to implement custom TLMDFloatingForm https://forum.lmd.de/discussion/1224/lmd-docking-pack-register-floatingdocksiteclass-to-implement-custom-tlmdfloatingform Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:36 +0000 Energy One Ltd 1224@/discussions Our forms need to intercept CM_DIALOGKEY for special processing of arrow and other keys. Because our form is parented by a TLMDFloatingForm that message does not get to our form, so we implemented our own TLMDFloatingForm descendant class and set TLMDDockPanel.FloatingDockSiteClass to our form class. It might be useful in other scenarios for users to implement their own floating form descendant.

That works well when a new floating form is created at runtime because of this code:

1. Create our form
2. Create a TLMDDockPanel
3. Call dockPanel.ManualFloat (implemented in TControl.ManualFloat) which calls TControl.CreateFloatingDockSite which contains this code:
    Result := FloatingDockSiteClass.Create(Application);
4. Set our form Parent to dockPanel

This also works when dragging a docked form from TLMDDockSite out to become floating because of this code:

TLMDDragObject.Init
    fscls   := Control.FloatingDockSiteClass;
        FDragForm            := TLMDFloatingForm(fscls.Create(Application));

And I can also see that TLMDDockPanel.CMFloat contains this code but I am not sure when it is triggered:
    fscls := TLMDFloatingForm;
    if FloatingDockSiteClass.InheritsFrom(TLMDFloatingForm) then
      fscls := FloatingDockSiteClass;
    form            := TLMDFloatingForm(fscls.Create(Application));

However it doesn't work when loading saved forms when calling TLMDDockManager.LoadFromFile because there is a hard-coded TLMDFloatingForm.CreateEx in TLMDDockManager.FindSite.

Request: Allow a custom floating form descendant when the forms are loaded from file.

Add the following to TLMDDockManager:
    FFloatingDockSiteClass: TWinControlClass;
    property FloatingDockSiteClass: TWinControlClass read FFloatingDockSiteClass write FFloatingDockSiteClass;

In TLMDDockManager.Create:
    FFloatingDockSiteClass := TLMDFloatingForm;

In TLMDDockManager.FindSite:
  fscls: TWinControlClass;
    fscls := TLMDFloatingForm;
    if FFloatingDockSiteClass.InheritsFrom(TLMDFloatingForm) then
      fscls := FFloatingDockSiteClass;
    form   := TLMDFloatingForm(fscls.CreateEx(Application, Self));

Thank you.

I guess that it is the zone that contains the panel that needs to be constrained, but how can I do this?
