Galil's Visual Basic Tool Kit is a power-
ful software package that lets the
designer quickly and easily create an
operator interface for the DMC-1700,
DMC-1500, DMC-1400 and DMC-
1000. The Tool Kit provides the VBX
and OCX custom controls that are
loaded directly into the Visual Basic
run-time environment.
Pre-built objects include a DMC
terminal, polling window, send files
and storage scope functions. Dialog
boxes allow objects to be easily cus-
tomized for color size, location and
text.
The Tool Kit shortens the devel-
opment time of an operator interface
from days or weeks to a matter of
hours. Plus, the tool kit is easy to
use, making it ideal for even the
novice programmer.
Microsoft's Visual Basic and
Galil's Tool Kit make developing
an operator interface for the con-
troller quick and easy.
Galil's Tool Kit includes a DMC
terminal object which is useful
for sending commands and edit-
ing programs.
