dialogs, custom controls and even VBX's.
SuperBoxes-X v4.0 provides seamless
integration with Superbase v3.2 and offers a host of new features
including: A powerful new data-aware outline control; Complete ANSI
support that makes integration with international character sets
a snap; And, a powerful new SuperBoxes RAD Designer that lets developers

SuperBoxes-X v4.0 also includes dozens
of new commands, support for the Windows95/NT40 look and feel, and
significant performance increases.
Standard Features

VBX Support - SuperBoxes-X hostsVBX
custom controls seamlessly. VBX events map directly into SuperBoxes
callback routines, so your Superbase code is called the instant
an event occurs! SuperBoxes-X also includes a VBX Object inspector
written entirely in SuperBoxes with complete source code included.
This powerful utility automatically generates SBL code for setting
properties and responding to events!
Dynamic dialogs - SuperBoxes-X dialogs
replace standard Superbase dialogs and offer increased control and
functionality.
Dialogs may be modal or modeless and applications may continue to
process even while a dialog is displayed on screen. A complete range
of controls, including custom controls, may be added and manipulated.
Multiple windows - Multiple windows
(each with individual menu bars and menu items), offer users a lateral
approach to managing database information. Floating toolbars and
multiple views of data can make applications easier to manage and
navigate. SuperBoxes-X controls may be added to either Superbase
MDI windows or SuperBoxes child windows. SuperBoxes-X windows offer
a complete range of styles.
Standard windows controls - SuperBoxes-X
supports: Buttons, list boxes, combo boxes, edit boxes, scroll bars,
statics, child windows, and others. These help to create a more
consistent look and feel with existing Windows applications. SuperBoxes-X
supports all standard control styles and event-notifications as
well as actions such as double-clicking and drag and drop.
Custom controls - SuperBoxes-X includes:
Picture buttons, picture windows, tab-indexes, gauges, tables, spin
buttons, owner-draw list boxes, pop-up balloon help, and calendars.
These controls enhance the look and feel of your application. Also
SuperBoxes 3.0 introduces data- aware controls that allow tables,
list boxes, combo boxes, edit boxes, statics, and buttons to accept
industry standard SQL commands to manage their contents. These data-aware
controls provide staggering performance improvements while minimizing
code.
SBL Code Generation - SuperBoxes-X
introduces new commands to open/close read/write SBL code from within
your Superbase application.
BoxScript - SuperBoxes-X provides
a graphical scripting language called BoxScript. Using BoxScript,
you can display dynamic forms, charts, and images in both windows
and dialogs. BoxScript also allows you to customize your own buttons,
list boxes, and combo boxes, or develop entirely new controls. Developers
can now create live interactive charts, animation, calendars, graphical
sliders, dials, or virtually any other control imaginable.
Programming with SuperBoxes-X Dozens
of samples ensure quick learning for new users and a library of
code for developing applications. On-line help exhaustively covers
each detail of SuperBoxes and provides examples for over 250 functions.

speed quickly.
