- PowerCode - The Extensible Application Generator for Windows
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- PowerCode is a powerful application generator for Windows. Its extensible
- design gives the developer maximum flexibility and control over the source
- code generated. It provides the beginning Windows developer with an
- amazingly powerful CASE tool. The intuitive point-and-click interface
- allows for the rapid prototype and design of full featured Windows
- applications. Even difficult elements of a Windows program, such as tool
- bars, are designed and tested with ease. The integrated environment helps
- the beginning developer manage the many steps required in creating a
- Windows application. The environment provides quick access to
- prototyping, generating, compiling, linking, and executing the new
- application.
-
- The experienced developer will appreciate PowerCode's advanced features.
- Every aspect of code generation can be modified by the developer. The
- extensible features of PowerCode are implemented in two ways. The code
- generation module of PowerCode is an interpreter that processes a
- high-level scripting language. These script files are referred to as
- source drivers within PowerCode. The source drivers process the
- information stored from the design stage of PowerCode. These source
- drivers can be easily modified, and extended to generate any type of
- source code. PowerCode ships with source drivers to support several
- languages including C++, C, and Pascal. The second feature of PowerCode,
- allows the developer to access, and extend all objects that are designed
- within PowerCode. A typical Windows application consists of interface
- objects like windows, menus, dialogs and controls. In other application
- generators you are able to specify a fixed number of attributes for each
- of these objects. For a window object, you may only be able to specify
- its style, or background color. These systems are very closed and limit
- the type of applications that can be generated. PowerCode allows you to
- add your own attributes to these objects. You may want to add attributes
- that support database access, graphics, multimedia, or other class
- libraries. These attributes are easily maintained within PowerCode. They
- can then be accessed from the source drivers to create any type of
- application.
-
- The extensible features of PowerCode are very important when programming
- in object-oriented languages such as C++. A powerful benefit of these
- languages is using inheritance to create your own classes of objects.
- Unlike other application generators, PowerCode allows you to generate code
- that directly supports these new classes. Other application generators
- force you to adopt their standards. You have to live with their naming
- conventions, source indentions, source file organization, comments,
- everything. With PowerCode, you have complete control. If you don't like
- it, change it!

-
- The PowerCode demo is a complete version of PowerCode with the code
- generation disabled. It Includes several complete examples of a generated
- application, featuring a stand-alone tool bar class that can be easily
- incorporated into your own applications. This is a valuable prototyping
- tool even without the code generation.
