WB RAD

Rapid Application Development
for
*WinBatch.

Project/script management.

The manipulation of Dialogs such as sorting, renumbering, changing control order, batch changes to fields, etc.

Generation of Dialog Controls from database tables.

Generation of a CallBack Structure based on specified dialog with numerous supporting SubRoutines.

Generation of code for things such as ToolTips, DropDown Menus, Dialog Resizing, etc.

Generation of meaningful "Name"s.

Creation of "Tags" for code that is needed in the compiled script but not in the Interpreted/Development code.

Integration of Dialogs and Tags into the source code itself at compile time.

Multi-Script compiles.

Pre and Post-Compile processing.

...and a few other things...

Watch a Demo (based on version 1.0m)

WB_RAD (version 2.0d - February 10, 2010)

It works with Version 6.1 and Version 6.2 Dialogs. Should be compatible with Vista/Win7 UAC. You may need to adjust the "Settings" so it points to the correct version manifest. I plan on this being the last version that supports 6.1 dialogs.

WB_RAD (version 2.0c - August 28, 2009)

It works with Version 6.1 and Version 6.2 Dialogs.

WB_RAD (version 1.0m - October 2008)

It only works with Version 6.1 Dialogs.

Only two things are changed in the Registry during the install, both of which are undone during the uninstall process. The iGrid grid control is registered and the install path is written to the the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Data & Stuff\WBRAD key. Also, a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 is required. It is recommended that one read the Introduction section of the Help file.

Note: This tool does not replace the editors provided with *WinBatch. It is not an IDE in that sense. One can specify which editors they wish to use. This tool simply attempts to make the development of WinBatch scripts, especially those which utilize dialogs, much easier and faster to develop. Within a minute or less of completing the design of a dialog one can have a fully functional call-back structure based on the dialog. Of course, one must then flesh out the structure to perform specific tasks but most of the tedious coding is provided.
