UIM/X Cross Platform Toolset


Product Overview


The Cross Platform Toolset is a set of components for cross-platform development. The initial version includes capability for OSF/Motif and Windows. This allows developers to take advantage of the full power of
UIM/X to develop applications for multiple deployment platforms.

Key Features and Benefits


The Cross Platform Toolset components are application-level GUI classes that are abstractions of common user interface objects such as File Selection Dialogs and Option Buttons. The Cross Platform Toolset includes two sets of libraries: one that implements the components on the UNIX platform, and another that implements them in the MS-Window environment.

A GUI that uses the Cross Platform Toolset components only contains calls to the public interfaces defined by the components. The components encapsulate the details of their implementation, so the GUI can easily be ported to another platform simply by linking it with the appropriate library. This allows for having more than a Least Common Denominator approach. For example, the Motif implementation handles form constraints, while Windows does not provide this capability.

The components define properties, methods, and events. You can configure the components by setting their properties. You perform operations on them by invoking their methods. You define their behavior by installing event handlers.

The components are integrated into the UIM/X palette. You can interactively create them, set their properties, test their behavior, and generate code.
