- I'll agree that the Borland Resource Workshop (BRW) is not quite as snappy
- as VB when designing dialogs, but if you add the "Data Entry Workshop"
- (DEW) from TurboPower, you're closing in on VB fast.
-
- Trying hard not to sound like an advertisement, these are the hilites:
-
- Picture entry fields, Numeric entry fields, Toolbars, Toolboxes, Spin
- controls, Meter controls, Shade controls, and more. Data validation is
- also included. The best part is that all controls are very easy to
- expand/modify, since you as usual (Thx!, TurboPower) get the complete
- source code.
-
- It allows you to design a dialog within standard resizeable window,
- and it generates the skeleton source code for the dialog.
-
- One of the cool things about DEW, is that it merges into the BRW by adding
- it's controls to existing control palette. This way you don't have to
- learn yet another tool.
-
- It supports TPW 1.5, BPW 7.0, TC++ 3.x, and BC++ 3.x.
-
- and... if you add the Win/Sys library, you even get error recovery:
- No more Runtime errors, Exception 13's, and such...

- PS. I have no relations to TurboPower what so ever, except from
- beeing a happy customer.
