WinMaker Pro 6.0 Makes C and C++ as Easy as Visual Basic

WinMaker Pro 6.0 immediately doubles the productivity of C/C++ compilers.
WinMaker Pro 6.0 is as visual and easy-to-use as Visual Basic but provides
developers with industrial strength C++ (MFC and OWL) and ANSI C code
instead of Basic.

Washington D.C., Software Development '94 East, Booth #315, October 4, 1994
- Blue Sky Software is now previewing WinMaker Pro 6.0, the new version of
WindowsMAKER Professional, award-winning Prototyper and C/C++ Code
Generator for Windows, Win32, and Windows NT. WinMaker Pro's new Project
Manager lets users instantly access all objects and resources (dialog
boxes, menus, icons, windows, etc) in their application design. Three new
floating palettes, a Property Sheet, a Toolbox, and a Color & Font Palette
give the developer instant access to all functionality and features.
Integrated Switch-It Code Generation Modules (SIMs) generate expert-level
ANSI C and the latest versions of MFC C++, and OWL C++ code. Programmers
can quickly and visually design their application and attach functionality
to any object without writing a single line of code.

New Project Manager

A new configurable Project Manager allows users to instantly access
windows, dialog boxes, toolbars, icons, cursors, bitmaps, source code and
more in their application from one central place.

Three Floating Palettes

Three new floating palettes make design options readily available to the
developer in an organized and intuitive way. The Toolbox allows users to
easily drag and drop new resources and controls into the application; the
Property Sheet enables users to instantly access any controls and set
their styles, characteristics and event options; and the Color and Font
Palette lets users set colors and fonts for any control from one place.
These configurables palettes allow fast editing of the interface and the
programmer can instantly see the results.

Version Control and Group Support

WinMaker Pro 6.0 maximizes the productivity of a team of programmers
working on the same project through usability with Version Control
software such as PVCS from Intersolv. The Project Manager always displays
the status of a file: READ-ONLY SYSTEM READ-WRITE, Or NOTCREATEDYET.
Object attributes READ/WRITE/EXIST are checked each time the user tries to
edit or create a new object.

VBX Controls Support

WinMaker Pro 6.0 supports VBX Controls. WinMaker's users can now benefit
from the VBX Controls available on the market.

More Design Real Estate

The WinMaker Pro main window and the application design area are now
independent, giving more "design real estate" to the developers.

Templates

WinMaker Pro 6.0 allows the developer to create application templates.
Programmers can also customize one or several templates for frequently
used design objects such as dialog boxes, toolbars, client views and
status bars, and set the default size, position and contents of their
resources. The Toolbox can be customized as well for an easier use of
regular and custom controls.

Multimedia Extended Functionality Module (EFM)

With the Multimedia EFM, developers can now quickly integrate multimedia
into their Windows applications, adding digital video, voice, or sound to
menus, graphical buttons and screens. The EFM supports .AVI files for
digital video and .WAV for sound and voice. It includes Video for Windows
1.1 runtime that enables users to run digital video on a normal VGA
screen. The EFM also includes a sound driver for the PC speaker and a
performance monitor that analyzes the system's ability to play
multimedia.

Time Savers

WinMaker Pro's time savers have been developed to dramatically improve
Windows programmers' productivity.

* QuickRun Technology allows the user to preview an application
  design before compiling
* Code Window lets users add code instantly, directly behind any
  object (Visual Basic-like code editing)
* TrueCode Technology, protects the user code 100% upon code
  re-generation
* Automatic generation of precise, expert level, fully commented
  code that can be compiled into 16 or 32 bit applications (code
  that developers would otherwise have to write manually if they
  were just using Visual C++ or Borland C++ alone)
* Device independent graphics: special option lets developers use
  and display the same bitmap for graphical buttons and toolbars
  for both VGA and Super VGA -without distortion.
* Context-sensitive SmartMenus provide a streamlined interface
  which displays the options available to the developer at any
  time

Extended Support

* Special effects support: fonts, colors, 3-D buttons,
  applications with 3-D look and more
* Full toolbar, status bar and MDI application support
* On-line Help code support, to generate the code for calling
  the Help system
* Supports all Windows and Windows NT compilers, including
  Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++, Symantec C++, and
  Watcom C/C++
* Supports Windows and Windows NT (Intel, Alpha & MIPS)
