Remember a few weeks ago when DiaBuilder was first announced in this
forum? This is a software tool used for building MapBasic dialog
code visually. For me, writing MapBasic dialog code is pretty much
an ordeal and it takes far too much time. I needed something that
would speed up this process, and figured that risking $40 was no big
deal, so I bought it. Besides, it's built by an active MapInfo-L
member (Trey Pattillo), and I've learned that you can sometimes find
some pretty amazing software inventions in this group!
Well by golly, it works, and it works very well! It *is* a real
find. I liked it enough that I thought it was worth reviewing to let
other developers know about this, so if you're interested, click on
over to Directions Magazine and you can read about its pros and
cons: http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=76
There is a free demo of DiaBuilder available from
http://www.wap3.com/diabuilder2000.htm, but if you have to write
more than 2 or 3 real MB dialogs a year, I think you will find that
the commercial version pays for itself very quickly.
