Introducing VisPro/C and VisPro/C++. Order by 9/16/94 to
take advantage now of our pre-release sales price of $149.00 each.
That is 60% off the $399 retail price.
VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ are full-featured visual programming tools
for the IBM CSet++ compiler and IBM User Interface Class Library.
These tools allow you to build 32-bit OS/2 2.x applications in record time.
VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ give you the robust features you have come to
expect from solutions costing much more. These tools leverage all of the
important features of OS/2 including full integration with the Workplace
Shell. And they come from HockWare, the pioneer in value-priced visual
programming products dedicated to OS/2.
Easy-to-use drag and drop programming
Quickly develop robust OS/2 2.x GUI and DB2/2 client/server applications
with ease using drag and drop programming--the C or C++ statements
automatically appear for each event. An abundance of CUA '91 objects,
multiple development views, entity-relationship database designer and
integrated environment are just some of the productive features you can
count on for powerful development. With all of this, no other tool matches
the functionality and productivity of the VisPro environment--or its price.
Objects, objects, objects
From simple buttons and boxes to 3-D business graphics and everything
in-between, VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ provide the most CUA '91 objects. Not
only do they support all objects in OS/2, they have extra add-on objects. Also
available is VisPro/Objects, a SOM-based object builder that allows you to
quickly develop your own custom objects.
The best of OS/2
VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ give you the best of OS/2 with complete Workplace
Shell integration. Drag and drop programming, multiple development views
including Layout, List, Event Tree and Settings views, and the ability to
get pop-up menus on the objects are some Workplace Shell features that
give you maximum leverage of OS/2.
C and C++ code just like you'd expect and more
VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ generate well-structured source code. The result
is non-proprietary, royalty-free code that is easy to read and maintain.
And both tools support code regeneration. VisPro/C++ has two special
features that ease C++ development: Graphical class browser that allows
you to easily view the IBM User Interface Class Library. You can also drag
and drop methods from the class library into your VisPro/C++ program.
Automatic generation of object and object event-handler code so you don't
have to worry about the details.
Lightning fast DB2/2 database design
For DB2/2 programming, both VisPro/C and VisPro/C++ include the visual
database designer. It provides an entity/relationship diagramming tool and
SQL builder that lets you quickly create DB2/2 applications or
reverse-engineer existing DB2/2 databases.
FEATURE FUNCTION
Drag and drop Workplace-Shell enabled drag and drop programming
programming that automatically generates the code for you. It
also allows you to drag items to the printer, shredder
and Workplace Shell folders.
CUA '91 objects Comprehensive set of CUA '91 programming objects
including: push button, radio button, check box,
3-state check box, list box, combo box, group box,
entry field, MLE, text, graphical push buttons,
spin button, value set (C only), frame, bitmap,
icon, slider, notebook and container.
Extra objects - 3-D business graphics - displays data in bar,
stacked bar, pie, line and area charts
- Formatted entry field - allows users to
display and edit specific formats of data
- Spreadsheet - allows users to enter and
display data in typical spreadsheet format
- Clock - allows users to view time in analog,
digital and military format
- Calendar - allows users to view and interact
with a traditional monthly calendar
Code generation Well-structured code generation gives you high
quality code that is easy to read and maintain.
The non-proprietary, royalty-free code can be
used outside of the VisPro development
environment. VisPro supports code regeneration
which allows you to incorp orate changes you
have made to events and code sections outside of
the VisPro environment back into VisPro.
Integrated Integration with compiler allows you to:
environment - manage bitmap, icon and string resources
- visually set compiler and linker options
- monitor compiler progress - click on errors to
find corresponding location in VisPro editors
Multiple views Four development views allow you to efficiently
create, change or customize your program. Views
include Settings, Layout, Event Tree and List.
The layout view provides a WYSIWYG design canvas
and a floating tool palette. Visual DB2/2
database designer Visual method for developing
DB2/2 database applications or
reverse-engineering existing DB2/2 databases
into entity-relationship diagrams. Using the
E/R diagramming tool, you drag and drop tables
and relationship links into a layout view to
generate com plete applications with embedded
SQL. The point-and-click SQL builder allows you
to easily build error-free SQL syntax.
VisPro/Objects SOM-based interface that allows you to create
and add custom controls to the VisPro tool bar.
It allows you to specify behavior, styles and
methods and generates most of the source code
needed to bring the object into all VisPro
environments - C, C++ and REXX. (Free upon
request.)
Other features - User interface resource compatibility
- allows you to build an application with VisPro/REXX
and import the interface resources to VisPro/C or
VisPro/C++ and vice versa. User interface
resources include: bitmaps, icons, panel
definitions, menus and accelerator key
definitions.
- Hot keys - allow you to type a couple of characters
in the event editor to automatically generate
commonly used logic structures.
- Form styles - provides full support of all OS/2
frame window styles as well as plain, sizeable and
scrollable.
- Drag/drop support - enables you to add drag and
drop functionality to your program.
- OS/2-style help - allows you to provide
OS/2-style (IPF) help to your program, which allows
users to access your program's help file just like
help for other OS/2 applications.
VisPro/C++ - additional features:
Graphical Graphical browser allows you to view the IBM
class browser User Interface Class Library. You can also drag
and drop methods from the library into your
VisPro/C++ application.
Object code Automatic generation of object and object
generation event-handler code.
