Years ago I purchased PB 3.2 for DOS and was quite impressed
with it. Recently I purchased a "Learning Edition" of VB and
felt ripped off when I found out it didn't support serial
communications or other goodies I had hoped for. The kicker is
you have to pay big dollars for the meat of VB, something I
didn't know until it was too late.
I have a couple of questions about PB/DLL:
* Dynamic Dialog Tools - Just exactly what does it do? The
description isn't too specific and there are no pictures to show
what it actually is. I know it's not the drag and drop like VB
but what specifically does it do? Create prefabbed code? Or is
it just a fancy name for a set of capabilities PB has?
* Do I have to buy Power Gen to get the advantages of drag/drop
creation of menus, boxes, etc?
Thanks,
Steve
