RadBuilder 3.10

RadBuilder is a complete rapid application development (RAD) tool to create interactive multimedia applications, database applications and Web applications for Windows - without programming. You don’t have to be a programmer, but with RadBuilder you’ll feel like one. Even though it is very easy to learn and use, it has everything you need to develop professional software applications with a completely visual drag and drop environment.

                                                             

                                                                   

Create database applications

Create database applications that can create, restructure, fetch data from, update, and otherwise manipulate local (Paradox, dBASE, FoxPro, and Access) and remote database servers (Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL server, and DB2). You can access a wide variety of database servers, using ADO or ODBC to connect to different databases.

Data objects for database applications

Provides a set of data-aware objects that represent data from fields in a database record, and, if the dataset allows it, enable users to edit that data and post changes back to the database. By placing data objects onto the forms in your database application, you can build your database application's user interface (UI) so that information is visible and accessible to users.

DBGrid, DBImage and DBRichText objects

You can display information from a single record on the screen, or list the information from multiple records using a grid (DBGrid). You can choose between objects that are designed to display and edit plain text, objects that work with formatted text, objects for graphics, multimedia elements, and so on.

DBNavigator object

You can let users navigate through the records of datasets and add or edit data. You may want to add your own objects or mechanisms to navigate and edit, or you may want to use a built-in object such as a DBNavigator.

Master/detail relationships

DBTable datasets can be linked into master/detail relationships. When you set up a master/detail relationship, you link two datasets so that all the records of one (the detail) always correspond to the single current record in the other (the master).

Lookup fields

You can define lookup fields for dataset object, DBQuery or DBTable. A lookup field is a read-only field that displays values based on search criteria you specify. In its simplest form, a lookup field is passed the name of an existing field to search on, a field value to search for, and a different field in a lookup dataset whose value it should display.

Calculated fields

You can define calculated fields for dataset object, DBQuery or DBTable. A calculated field displays values calculated at runtime. For example, you might create a float field that displays values calculated from other fields.

Chart object

Analyze and summarize information from databases so that users can draw conclusions from the data. The DBChart object lets you present database information in a graphical format that enables users to quickly grasp the import of database information. DBChart includes chart series types: Line, Area, Point, Bar, Horizontal Bar and Pie.

Report objects

You can create database applications that print database information. If you want to let your users print database information from the datasets in your database application, you can use Report objects, visual report design objects. You can use Report objects to create a variety of reports, from simple banded reports to more complex, highly customized reports. Users can also export reports to PDF (.pdf), RichText (.rtf), Excel (.xls) and Text (.txt) files.

Create Web applications

With RadBuilder you can create standalone Web applications exactly the same way you would create normal database applications. It is a revolutionary new way to create web-based applications. The standalone Web application is a web server that run without dependencies from any other web server (IIS or Apache).

Create interactive multimedia applications

RadBuilder is a professional application development tool and multimedia authoring system for creating a wide variety of utilities, interactive ebooks, presentations, catalogs, educational or training materials, slide shows, sales or promotional materials, custom applications, and more.

Create Autorun CD menus

Would you like to distribute your product or company presentation, electronic documentation or e-product(s) on a removable storage device such as a CD, DVD or USB stick? You can create autorun CD menu now and publish your presentations, documents, files and software,… on portable media such as CDs, DVDs and USB sticks.  RadBuilder can even directly burn your autorun CDs or create ISO CD images file without any need for external CD burning software.

                                           

Completely Visual – No programming required

RadBuilder is a tool for designing and developing interactive multimedia applications, database applications and Web applications without writing any code. And you don't have to be a software programmer to do it. With its intuitive integrated development environment (IDE) and drag-and-drop objects, it's quick to learn and easy to use. It requires no programming knowledge whatsoever! You'll be amazed with the powerful functionality and stylish visual appeal that RadBuilder puts at your mouse-clicking fingertip. Design and distribute your software with a few clicks of the mouse.

                                           

Visual Interface Objects

RadBuilder includes 70 built-in object types. You simply add them onto a form and then edit their ‘properties’ and ‘events’ to customize them however you want. You’ll be able to layout your graphic user interface as fast as you can drag and drop!

                                     

Actions

From the application developer's perspective, an event is just a name related to a system occurrence, such as OnClick, to which actions can be attached. For example, a button called Button1 has OnClick property. If you add actions to the OnClick event property, when a click event occurs in the button, the actions will be done.

                                               

Form Templates and Object Templates

One of the features which makes RadBuilder so quick and easy to work with is the included library of ready-to-use form and object templates. To apply a template simply select a form in the form template list or drag an object template icon from the object template list and drop it to form or parent object, RadBuilder will do the rest.
