MBBuilder gives an opportunity to shift from the traditional programming interface elements in MapBasic commands to their visual design. Application project maintenance, writing and use the components, rapid contextual help in the integrated MBBuilder environment simplifies the process of creating and abridges the phase checkout/debugging of the application.
MBBuilder Overview
MBBuilder is a visual Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for MapInfo MapBasic with the features, typical for this products category:
- Menu Editor
- Toolbar Editor
- Project Manager
- Component Editor
- Object Inspector
- Dialog Editor
Project Manager
MBBuilder Project
Manager supports project paradigm as a collection of
files in MapBasic format, so you don't need
to work with each file separetely: simply work
with your MapBasic project!
Object Inspector
Supports all
application objects (Dialogs, Menu Items, Toolbars, Toolbar buttons
and Controls) properties
Dialog Editor
You can have
as much dialogs as you want in your
application and control them with easy
One storage
for all files
All project files are stored
in one place. So, you can load the
files in the File Editor to rename, delete
or add the new file. This is very
convenient, if you want to use your old
project code
F9 magic key
Press F9
and your project will be compiled, linked and
MapInfo will run your application immediately
Component Editor
The main feature of MBBuilder. You can write
your own components to use your code repeatedly
In two words: MBBuilder is a "VisualMapBasic"!
MBBuilder at a glance
MapBasic features: why MBBuilder was
developed
MapBasic application development environment contains text editor,
compiler and linker. Unfortunately, creating dialogs, menus and
toolbars requires much time and routine work when
describing them in specific MapBasic commands. Even greater
efforts demand changing, adding and removing individual components
of the interface during development.
MBBuilder is the RAD tool for MapBasic
The Windows oriented development support systems (Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual Basic and other Rapid Application Development tools) for a long time use visual methods of creating program interface with automatically generated program code. Using of RAD Tools in development process radically simplifies the development, deployment and management of applications.
microOLAP MBBuilder is the first RAD environment for MapBasic that fully supports all its features. With MBBuilder, corporate or individual developers can create MapInfo MapBasic applications quickly and easily.
MBBuilder project development environment
The control center of the application development process is the main menu (see Figure 1). It controls the files, included into the application, and does all work at project maintenance, its compilation and run.
We'll name here the main window components only:
- Main menu - allows to have access to all activities for development environment and locates directly under the window heading line
- Toolbar - provides rapid access to the most commands of the main menu. Locates in the left part of the window, below/under the main menu
- Components palette - this is just an amazing resource for rapid application development! It gives access to the repository of such components as edits and labels, buttons and lists etc., which may be put on different forms, and thereby the application interface will be created
- Component Editor: You can use the existing components, and also add your own ones by using the Component Editor
- Project Manager: MBBuilder allows to control all the project files with ease
- Dialog Editor: (Figure 4) is one
of the main design tools, which is mostly
used for application creating. You can display some
dialogs during the development, but only one of
them may be active. Working in collaboration with
the Object Inspector, the Dialog Editor performs the
following activities:
* add components to the dialog
* modify the dialog and its components
* link the component event handlers with the MapBasic procedures, which the File Editor contains. - Object Inspector: (Figure 5) is used for setting the published properties of the dialog components. MBBuilder uses these initial parameters in order to generate the new values code of the application objects automatically
- File
Editor: just that programming tool, which allows bringing
all the interface elements together and sets the
application work ideology
Programming of logical and calculating procedures, as well as the initialization and setting of the application and any other procedures, is executed the same way as in the usual MapBasic text editor - Menu Editor: MBBuilder allows to create and edit the menu tree visually by Menu Editor
- Toolbar Editor: has the same functions as Menu Editor, but is used for creating toolbars
Single or site license?
In case of single user license MicroOLAP authorizes Customer to install and use Software on one Customer owned computer, by one designated user. Additional Licenses are required for additional users using the Software and computers on which the Software is installed.
In case of Site license MicroOLAP authorizes Customer to install and use the software on unlimited number of computers, at the same physical Site location. This Site location would normally be defined as a single building, but could be considered to be a number of buildings within the same, in general, geographical location, such as an industrial estate or small town.
