- I have the following "problem":
-
- We currently use a combination of Microfocus COBOL and ObjectView for a
- large project. ObjectView is used as a smart interface to the Windows
- SDK. It basically is a C interface (COBOL can call C programs). The
- interface solves all problems of screen refreshes etc.
-
- ObjectView delivers a screen painter which generates a special p-code
- objectfile . This file is used by the runtime. One can communicate with
- the UIF by simple functions allowing putting values in fields, list
- boxes etc and getting the user actions. E.g. pressing a button triggers
- a specific (definable) C function.
-
- The major problem of ObjectView is cost. They charge for run-rimes and
- we are talking about 20-40,000 systems here.
-
- What I want to know is if there are other smart UIF systems delivering a
- simple way to access the Windows UIF. The system has to be linkable in a
- C environment and must support the medium and large memory models.
- Preferable the entier program should be in DLL's.
-
- Anyone any suggestions?
