How does GUI ScreenIO compare in usability to other COBOL GUI tools?
GUI ScreenIO is the easiest to use – by far. Try it and see for yourself. Be sure to look at what it takes to use some of the more powerful Windows features, such as listboxes, comboboxes, and listview controls, too. These are a snap with GUI ScreenIO, but can be a real pain if you use most other products. Take a good look and compare us. When we set out to design GUI ScreenIO, we resolved to make ease of use as important as the features. It took a great deal of work to make a complex Windows application simple to program, but we did. One of the nice things about GUI ScreenIO is that simplicity, which was designed from the ground up. Older products (including our own legacy ScreenIO) are saddled with older (1980’s) character-mode interface designs that are often clumsy or not applicable to the Windows environment. We designed GUI ScreenIO from scratch specifically to avoid dragging obsolete stuff into it. As a result, GUI ScreenIO’s programming interface and behavior is 100 percent con
