[comp.misc] I'm looking for a graphics code generator for PC's

I'm looking for a software package either share ware or commercial that
will 
     1) Have a mouse driven interface (optional) to design
	graphics screens in text mode for PC's. 
     2) generate the appropriate code in C or Pascal.
     3) Allow me to point to a place on the screen for a data entry bar
	specify what kind of data is allowed and what the variable 
	names are. 
     4) Allow me to point to a place on another screen and show
	the variable at that location by typing in the name or
	some function using a combination of variables.
     5) Generate the appropriate C or Pascal code.


     Basically I am tired of generating user interface screens 
    'the old fashioned way' and would like to be able to draw
    the screens by hand (with a mouse) and tell where the data
    input and output should go by pointing to locations.  The 
    target audience does not necessarily have graphics capabilities
    so I am using the IBM extended charater set to draw boxes
    etc.  A program that could generate either text graphics
    and pixel graphics would be a bonus I suppose.  

			      Thanks,

Sounds like a very useful tool, Tony. I don't know of anything
quite like that on a PC platform, though...  Please post a summary
of responses you receive!
