Brief Review of GP_Term

The breeze is an emulator of the terminal for DBMS D3, working in MS Windows environment, and providing the following opportunities on integration D3 and MS Windows.

• Development of object-oriented events-controlled applications in FlashBASIC language (the thin client) with the own set of the objects supporting various styles, properties, methods and events (more than 3000).
• Development of applications on standard languages of programming (VB, VBA, Delphi, C++  etc.) with access to D3 through the OLE/COM-server supporting more of hundred functions, it is most full realizing potential of mvDBMS and FlashBASIC. The completely interactive mode of work with the server from programs on a workstation allows to write as much as complex programs. (At a choice, it is possible to work in synchronous and asynchronous modes).
• Management from the server the external devices connected to the workstation's local port, with using the methods and events of object IOFILE.
• Management from the server the workstation file system with the filesystem methods.
• Management from the server the sytem registry of a workstation with the methods of the system registry.
• Use of ready graphic utilities (manager D3, the manager of data exchange, the editor etc.).
• Within the framework of the same session it is possible to combine usual terminal input-output with use of the Windows-dialogs created as on FlashBASIC so on VB etc. Reengineering the inherited applications it is possible to do by degrees. Applications turn out more variability.

For creation in applications of more convenient and stylish interface base structures are developed: screens, dialogs which can include others GUI objects.

Screens    

A screen is the element of the interface which operates objects according to their accommodation on the screen. The screen can contain in itself other objects besides the usual symbolical interface. The quantity of screens can be big. Each screen can consist of several windows. The sizes of the screen can be changed by programs. Functions of a printing of the screen easily allow to print out reports and forms. The formatted text with using of any fonts allows to organize a fast and evident printing.

Dialogs  –

A dialog box is a temporary window an application creates to retrieve user input. An application typically uses dialog boxes to prompt the user for additional information for menu items. A dialog box usually contains one or more controls (child windows) with which the user enters text, chooses options, or directs the action.
Windows also provides predefined dialog boxes that support common menu items such as Open and Print. Applications that use these menu items should use the common dialog boxes to prompt for this user input, regardless of the type of application. For more information about using common dialog boxes in your applications, see Common Dialog Box.
There are many functions, messages, and predefined controls to help create and manage dialog boxes, thus making it easier to develop the user interface for an application. This overview describes the dialog box functions and messages and explains how to use them to create and use dialog boxes.

Objects

BRIZ supports work with the majority of the Window's common controls. Some unique objects are in addition developed . For all objects support of all methods is realized, except for the direct reference to a device context. All objects are adapted and added with methods for work with mvDBMS (for example LISTCTRL can be used as the editor of tables). The system of support of processing of the majority of events and messages is developed. The system of the automatic answer to event allows to release resources of the server. The unique system of automatic change of the sizes, easily allows to design dialogs with the varied sizes. Association of objects in groups allows automated to operate them without processing events on the server........

Menus

Work from menus is completely realized

The opportunity of work with special objects is in addition realized:

• Lists
• Cursors
• Image lists
• Free tables
• Regions
• System registry
• File system
• Excel
• IOFiles
• ..................

There is an opportunity of set-up of the keyboard, parameters of display, processing of service symbols

Three variants of recording(item) of a dump

Mode of separate input-output .........

It is impossible to describe all opportunities in this brief review
