Developers, take note: Excel Software is shipping RbApp 2.1 for REALbasic developers. RbApp is a collection of reusable classes for developing Mac OS X and Windows software using the REALbasic programming language from REAL Software.
The new release has enhancements in the RbEdit, RbView, RbCommand, RbPalette, RbGrid, RbChart, RbStringList, RbXML, RbHelp, RbQuickLicense and RbLibrary components. Version 2.1 adds new properties and methods throughout the RbApp classes. For example, RbGrid can now manage external data stored in files, databases or program variables. External data can be linked to any cell within the rows and columns of a grid. Cell data can be colored, styled, sized or edited with standard controls like an edit field, popup menu, combobox, slider bar, checkbox or radio button list.
RbApp 2.1 supports REALbasic 2005, 2006 and 2007. It’s been tested on PowerPC and Intel Macs and Windows 98 through Vista. RbApp is US$295 for a single user license. It can be added to a Mac or Windows REALbasic program using a step-by-step procedure. It includes sample applications, source code examples, a printed and PDF Developer’s Guide and royalty-free distribution of RbApp code compiled into applications.
