Converting programs from Dataflex to Powerflex ought to be simple and it is! It just takes these 3 simple steps.
- Compile your Dataflex code with the PFXplus compiler. No database conversion required! Often a few minor changes are necessary to your code - but don’t worry, we’ve seen it all before and we’re always there to help. Our support is legendary!
- Recompile your new PFXplus code to automatically generate fully functional Windows graphical-mode screens. Your programs will now work fine in Windows (including the mouse). Now you can go to work on how they look.
- Use our CCA tools to lay out screens and add menus, toolbars, help and so on, to make your new Windows applications look just the way you want them.
The end result is a genuine fully 32-bit native Windows Application, just like in the sample.
It looks like Windows, it works like Windows, because it is Windows.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the feeling of PFXplus running your programs in a Windows environment.
