Complete Development Environment with Visual Tools
The development environment is intuitive, even if you are a new user, giving you a quick and productive start. Yet OpenROAD Workbench is sophisticated enough to provide the powerful features that advanced developers require.
For example, the Frame Editor lets you quickly and easily paint the user interface for an application and handle much of the programming logic behind the interface using event-driven, object-oriented code written in the OpenROAD 4GL language.
Advanced programmers can take advantage of additional features, such as:
• Using 4GL to its full extent to create applications capable of dynamically generating frames at runtime
• Exploiting the eClient, Mobile Client (mClient), and OpenROAD Server technologies
OpenROAD Workbench includes visual editors that enable you to design the frames, menus, and other user interface components for your applications using point-and-click, drag-and-drop techniques. For immediate feedback on your design as it progresses, you can start a simulation with a few mouse clicks.
