The VBtrv Table control supports a SQL front end to the
Btrieve Extended operations with virtual list capability. It can
be easily bound to Grids, list boxes and other dynamic controls
with just a few lines of code. In this picture the VBtrv Table
control has been dynamically bound to Apex software's TrueGrid
control to make a database file editor and browser.
The VBtrv Toolbox Controls version 4.1 is a special bundle of
controls, tools and libraries we put together for Visual Basic
and Delphi programmers. For C++ programmers we created a special
bundle that also includes our C++ class library Btrv++. Both The VBtrv Toolbox controls and
VBtrv\C++ each come with all the tools you need to easily create
either 16 or 32 bit Btrieve applications. Like all off our
products they provide single or multi-user access, with full
network capability. They are optimized for Btrieve access to
provide support for Btrieve versions 7.x, 6.x and 5.x, complete
control over indexing and keys, variable length record support,
SQL Query support and the lightning fast speed you have come to
expect from Btrieve.
Both the VBtrv Toolbox Controls for Btrieve and VBtrv\C++ come
with Classic Software's VBtrv custom controls. This set of
controls is made up of 6 OCX controls for Visual Btrieve programming. The OCX controls are an upgrade
from version 3.5 of the VBX controls and contain some new features like support for Visual
Basic 4.0 16 bit and the new features to our SQL interface. The
controls contain a complete object-oriented programming interface
to Btrieve. You get everything from
the standard record based access of Btrieve to Field based access
via DDF Files and an SQL query processor. The queries are
automatically mapped to Btrieve Extended operations for the
fastest Btrieve access available anywhere. These controls are 100% source
code compatible between the OCX and VBX versions. They share the
exact same properties, methods and functions from a source code
level.
Both products also come with an object oriented function call
library in a Windows DLL. This library is used by the controls
for their lightning fast database access. This library is
documented in basic for VBtrv and in C for VBtrv\C++. Because
this library is a standard DLL it can be used from any
development environment capable of calling a Windows DLL. The
library is provided in both a 16 and 32 bit format.
At no extra cost you also get DDF Maker 32 bit edition,
a Windows hosted Btrieve DDF File editor. DDF Maker is a full
featured product in its own right. Use it to create any new
Btrieve DDF file, or modify existing ones. You can even create
subsets of Btrieve DDF files. Like all of our products it is
fully network compatible.
For VBtrv\C++ we also added in our C\C++ class libraries for
Btrieve product called Btrv++. Full
source code is provided.
For VBtrv\C++ we also have a special bundle available with our
C++ code generator Btrvgen++. The code
generator will generate C++ classes to represent your schema and
tables as well as member functions for common database
operations. It has an integrated DDF file editor, supports
relationships, selective code generation and a derived class
editor and generator. It makes an excellent database complement
to the integrated code generation that comes with your compiler.
The custom controls support any development environment that
supports a standard OCX control. This includes all
versions of Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland C++, Delphi and
many other development environments.
