Perforce Stingray Studio Components Made Easy
Discover how the components of Perforce Stingray Studio make it easy to customize and enhance your GUI application.
Objective Toolkit
The diversity of components in Objective Toolkit makes it easy to customize and enhance your GUI applications. You can use a wide variety of powerful Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) components such as color well, tab control, calendar, currency, and calculator.
Objective Grid
Objective Grid provides a complete library of extension classes that implement a grid control to deliver custom spreadsheets. You’ll be able to manipulate data by enhancing the capabilities of cells within the grid. Plus, you can migrate existing Objective Grid applications into a .NET environment — and create new components using the designer.
Objective Grid can use multiple methods for data exchange:
- ADO and ODBC databinding
- XML and HTML serialization
- Interaction with Microsoft Excel
Objective Chart
Objective Chart delivers high-performance, advanced charting capabilities. Charts provided are fully customizable and can be combined into new chart types, including: bar, line, pie, web, area, and plot types with variations on each.
With a class-based architecture, you can easily extend and enhance these basic capabilities by using the chart extension system.
Objective Edit
Objective Edit offers an advanced text editor with support for existing and custom languages.
You can use Objective Edit to:
- Implement an interactive environment similar to the Microsoft Visual Studio editor
- View and edit source code, scripts, and mark-up languages , including C++, C#, XML, JavaScript, VBScript, and HTML
Objective Views
Objective Views provides components for building drag-and-drop graphical interfaces. You can use it to incorporate custom graphical objects and enhanced drawing capabilities.
Objective Views are similar to other diagramming tools in that you have a drawing surface abstraction to use for drawing and manipulating symbols and graphics. These objects can be moved, scaled, rotated, connected, or even animated.
