Prominare Designer Release 5c is now available from Prominare Inc. through
their web site http://www.prominare.com for $179 (US$). Current owners of
Prominare Designer Release 5a and Release 5b can upgrade to Release 5c for
free.
Release 5c is a maintenance release with enhancements for Unicode and
porting to Windows NT.
In conjunction with this release, a beta version of Prominare Design Studio
Release 6 is available for Windows NT.
Prominare Designer is a programmers tool for the creation of fully featured
GUI's for OS/2 and Windows NT/95. Acting as an extended resource editor,
Prominare Designer supports all OS/2 controls for all versions of OS/2
including Warp Version 4.0. Its inherent flexibility enables the power of
C to be fully exploited, with the added benefits of intelligent code
generation.
Prominare Designer offers the best of prototyping and programming tools.
Prominare Designer enables programmers to quickly create applications which
conform to an individual company's:
- programming standards
- coding conventions
- selected level of CUA compliance
The linkage to the resource editor allows Prominare Designer to offer
uniquely excellent facilities in the areas of custom controls, facilities
which are lacking in other tools.
The programmer can use one interface to create both the resources and code
for OS/2 PM and Windows NT/95 applications. The resource editor is
backwardly compatible with all versions of OS/2 and Windows NT/95.
Prominare Designer speeds the process by which interfaces are completed by
removing unnecessary generation phases. When the system is modified,
Prominare Designer regenerates only the parts that have been modified since
the last generation operation was carried out.
Prominare Designer's inherent intelligence enables the programmer to change
the look and feel of the interface without having to reprogram the actions
of individual controls. Whenever code is regenerated, Prominare Designer
scans the existing code, if manual programming changes have been made, the
changes are immediately inserted, unchanged, in the updated code.
Prominare Designer provides total flexibility in the code generated. Its
code structures, can be modified by the programmer to ensure that the
generated code conforms with company naming conventions and coding standards
- a capability that is essential for major companies developing GUIs. This
also speeds the process of programming as the code generated is in a form
that the programmer already understands.
