XVT-Architect 1.0 XVT-Architect, the second component of the Development Solution for C++ provides a graphical way to develop portable C++ applications. By reducing hand-written code, and providing point-and-click interaction with the XVT-Power++ object hierarchy, XVT-Architect makes the functionality of the underlying application framework easier to access. "More than 200 companies participated in the beta program," said David Locke, XVT (EXtensible Virtual Toolkit) A C++ developer's toolkit for creating user interfaces across multiple environments from XVT Software, Inc., Cary, NC, a division of Providence Software (www.xvt.com).

"Developers new to C++ appreciate the way the product helps them learn how to use the application framework to its full capability; experienced C++ developers appreciate the many features which increase their productivity." XVT-Architect is used for the entire application development life cycle, from design to layout through final application building. It's composed of three modules: an object hierarchy browser which interactively sets up the internal object relationships; an advanced GUI builder Visual programming software that lets a user build a graphical user interface by dragging and dropping elements from a toolbar onto the screen. It may be a stand-alone program or part of an application development system or client/server development system. ; and an object attribute editor with class browser. XVT-Architect offers advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. functions such as a notepad The text editor that comes with Windows. It is a very elementary utility, but gets the job done most of the time. See text editor and WordPad.
