Dear Palm developer!
We are glad to inform you about POL 3.0 Professional release. POL is a powerful C++
library for Palm OS.
So what new can you find in this version? Every our new release is designated to
implement strategically new aims of our Software Engineering group. Different
communities, such as doctors, businessmen and employees, use Palm devices in
increasing frequency. It requires a rich set of different services from Palm
applications.
POL 3.0 is assigned to maximal simplification of all classes of Palm applications:
starting with small business applications up to large corporate packages.
For small business applications POL provides framework and basic GUI functionality. A
corporate application requires flexible database access and rich set of
database-bounded controls. To achieve it POL provides you with a great number of
stream classes and database-bounded grid/list controls.
Let's examine key features of this release:
1. Palm OS 3.5 - 4.0 API support;
2. support of graphical forms;
3. modal forms support (extension of standard Palm OS features);
4. support of standard controls (tables, buttons, fields, lists, labels, scrollbars,
etc);
5. custom control support;
6. event routing facilities;
7. classes for working with Palm databases;
8. grid and list controls that are automatically integrated with Palm databases;
9. an MFC-like powerful string manipulation CString class
10. streams support;
11. built-in collections support, including dynamic arrays, lists, hash tables and
stacks;
12. exceptions support;
13. exchange manager support;
14. Net library support;
15. serial manager support;
16. miscellaneous classes.
The most significant parts of POL are database-bounded controls and stream classes.
POL extends Palm OS table manager by hierarchy of grid classes. Grids in POL work in
different selection modes. They can automatically show your data with different styles
of dividers and borders. Total streaming is quite a new feature of this release. You
can use well known "<<" and ">>" C++ operations for accessing everything in the same
manner: starting from database records or network connections and up to memory access.
POL is automatically integrated into CodeWarrior IDE by adding predefined starter
applications. It provides you with comprehensive help system and a rich collection of
examples.
And let us remind you, POL is supplied with a real Support Service, which provides
quick answers to any our customer's questions and conducts your preferences and
opinions.
