[comp.sys.mac.comm] Need recommendation for language or app gen

We wish to program a mac to provide a visual means to control
an external box via a data link.  We want to create the image
of a control panel and move slide switches and push buttons.
Questions:

1. Is there an application generator that allows construction of
such control panels from a tool box approach, that can turn
the visually entered commands into strings to be sent out over the 
serial ports.  Responses to the commands must be parsed and
displayed in a variety of ways.

2. If not, which compiler supplies the best tools to construct
such a thing?  We would prefer C compilers, but would consider
others.

Please send mail.
