What can PowerBASIC do?

PowerBASIC has long been known as a high-performance tool for computational code in Windows. Many thousands of Visual Basic programmers have used DLLs created with PowerBASIC to speed up areas of their lagging code, and many have migrated completely to PowerBASIC to build their entire application suites.

With the many new benefits in this latest version, we expect that trend to continue. But there is more to PowerBASIC... much, much more...

PowerBASIC for Windows now offers even more enhancements to DDT (Dynamic Dialog Tools). With DDT, you'll build complete GUI applications easier than ever before.

Don't struggle with complex form designers. Don't fight with resource scripts or get lost in a sea of API calls! With PowerBASIC DDT, a few simple BASIC statements will build a complete Graphical User Interface!

DIALOG NEW creates an empty dialog box. CONTROL ADD places buttons, icons, frames, bitmaps, combo boxes, labels, list boxes, text/edit boxes, even custom controls and more. Add a menu, then display the dialog with DIALOG SHOW. It really is just that easy! Perhaps best of all, DDT is dynamic. Alter dialogs and controls "on-the-fly"! Change the size, position, color, and style at will.

With DDT, we put the power in your hands. That's precisely where it belongs! In addition, DDT can be used in both EXEs and DLLs created with PowerBASIC. But this is just the tip of the iceberg…
