Objective Views

Objective Views offers a fully MFC-compatible, object-oriented framework for creating applications that allows users to visually work with data. Objective Views acts as a layer of abstraction for the Windows GDI, shielding you from the low-level implementation details so you can concentrate on application design. You can allow your users to add objects to a layout from a palette (just like Visio^® ) and to create hierarchies, connections, and containers. Objective Views allows you to incorporate custom graphical objects and enhanced drawing capabilities into your applications. It is tightly integrated with Visual C++ 5.0 and 6.0. With Objective Views you can develop any application that includes a drawing surface and interaction with graphical objects quickly and effectively.

You can develop any application that includes a drawing surface and interaction with graphical objects quickly and effectively using Objective Views. Here are some of the possibilities:

• CASE software - applications that show the relationship among concepts using symbols as notation, such as a modeling tool
• Hierarchy diagrams, such as a corporate organization chart
• Control flow applications that describe a process graphically, using symbols to represent decision points that link to different sections of the diagram
• Classic flowcharts, computer network diagrams, family trees, office layouts, and much more!

It takes only minutes to create an application with sophisticated graphical functionality. It's a simple four-step process:

1. Use the built-in Symbol Designer to create your graphical objects.
2. Add access to your objects through the user interface.
3. Use the Objective Views AppWizard to generate a complete program.
4. Compile, link and run!
