General

Release 5.05 of LMD Tools fixes reported bugs, provides some recommended features to existing components and adds Delphi 6 Support.

Note (from 5.03)
There seems to be a problem with collection item events (like in the TLMDCaptionButtons component) if used with form inheritance.
Please use the main component events instead of the collection item events or assign the methods dynamically in the form's OnCreate event if you want to use form inheritance!!

Enhancements

TLMDIniCtrl
New properties:

property EncKey:Word;
Use EncKey to specify unique key used for encode string data.

property Encoded:Boolean;
Enable Endcoded to encrypt/decrypt all following calls to String/TStrings methods (e.g WriteString, WriteStrings, WriteFont or ReadString, ReadStrings etc.)

Please note, that used encoding algorithm is rather simple.

LMDStrings Unit
Very simple crypto-routines added:
function LMDEncode(const aValue:String; Key: Word):string;
function LMDDecode(const aValue:String; Key: Word):string;

LMDSysin Unit
New LMDSIWindowsME global variable.
