[comp.os.msdos.misc] GUI Builder for Windows 3.0

hxb@ztivax.UUCP (Johann Burgstaller) (10/01/90)

I want to find out about tools on the market allowing to interactively
build the user interface of a Windows application (in UNIX the name
UIMS is used for this kind of tools). 
Is there something like a market leader, or which of the tools are 
the most popular ones.
Please send email(hxb@ztivax.siemens.com) to me or post your responses.
Thanks in advance,

     Programmer's Paradise 1-(800)-445-7899 has a bunch of tools.  I think
the type you're looking for is Actor 3.0.  The blurb under the ad reads
"provides you with comprehensive classes tyhat offer complete support for
all Windows 3.0 functions, messages, and styles."  Lists for $695, they have
it for $559.  They've got a bunch of other stuff, too.  I'm not familiar
with any of it.  The ad appears on p. 59 of Byte Magazine, Sept. 90.
     I'm not quite sure what you mean by "interactively build the user
interface."  If you mean is there a cut-and-paste type program like "WIndows
Apps interface Construction Set" along the lines of Budge's/EA Pinball
Const. Set or music or adventure const. set.  I don't know of any.

Hope this helps.
