SECANT TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF OS/2 CONTROL PACKAGE
CLEVELAND, OH -- Secant Technologies, Inc. announces the release of
the ObjectPM Control Pack library for OS/2. This package offers over a
dozen control types that extend the set of controls supplied by OS/2
Presentation Manager. It is also the first control package to support the
PMCX control window specification allowing these controls to be used with
products such as the IBM Universal Resource Editor and Prominare Designer.
The PMCX specification is the latest control extension similar in concept
to the VBX specification in Windows.
"These controls will be a welcome addition to any OS/2 programmer's
tool set" according to senior architect Michael Flis. "Many badly needed
features such as multi-column list-boxes and edit masks are missing from
OS/2. This product fills those gaps."
This list of controls included with the package include:
- Spreadsheet A "grid" control allowing data to be presented
in rows and columns. The rows and columns can
be sized hidden, inserted and deleted. Cells
can directly edited, and support character
formatting.
- Cellbox A new list-box that adds multi-columns, images,
"hot buttons", and in-line character formatting.
- Data Field An edit control extension that supports edit
masks, and a host of data types.
- RTF Viewer Displays and prints Rich-Text-Format (RTF)
documents. This is a great tool to add prining
capabilities to your apps!
- Calendars Displays a calendar, one month at a time,
allowing a user to click on a day to select it
or flip between months and years.
- DateComboBox Combines a combo-box with the calendar control
which implements a visual drop-down date field.
- CellComboBox Combines a combo-box with the cellbox to add
extended combo features such as multi-selects
and list-box columns.
- Splitbars Horizontal and vertical split bar controls for
dragging.
- ControlList Contains a list of other controls that can be
scrolled up and down. This allows a large
number of controls to fit in an area than
otherwise would be possible.
- Gauges A set of various indicators such as dials,
thermometers, and LED bars.
All controls in ObjectPM Control Pack conform to the PMCX
architecture. This allows the components to be used by virtually any OS/2
programming tool. To support the various C++ programming environments, the
Control Pack adds a set of class libraries that integrate the controls
natively into the OpenClass (IBM), ObjectWindows (Borland), and ObjectPM
(Secant) application framework environments.
The ObjectPM Control Pack is available in binary form at an
introductory price of $99. Source code is also available. Programs that
use the controls can be distributed along with the run-time libraries
without royalties or additional purchases. To order, contact Secant
Technologies, 23811 Chagrin Blvd. Suite 344, Beachwood, OH, (216) 595-3830.
