Windows Application Design


Applications for the Windows platform can be developed in C or in C++, using one of the available class libraries such as Microsoft MFC. While the program infrastructure can be generated using an application builder, this results in a user interface that looks and feels like a Microsoft product, not your own. A truly excellent Windows application goes beyond the style guide and adds unique yet synergistic features that add value to the Windows look and feel.

New applications can use object embedding (OLE Automation) to separate the application into reusable components, or to use custom controls based on ActiveX or ATL conventions. Now, you can embed your application in a Word document or display it in a web browser. Similarly, the application can be distributed across multiple tasks on one or more computers.

Whether your needs call for custom object classes, new Windows controls, or ports from other operating systems, DeLise Consulting can help you reach your goals on both 16 and 32 bit Windows platforms.
