Application Wizard

The Winteracter Application Wizard provides a quick start when creating new applications.

The Application Wizard is an important component of Winteracter's visual tool set, generating a substantial Winteracter program tailored to your requirements.

In just 5 simple dialogs, you describe how you want your application to look and the basic options you want to offer. The Wizard then generates the Fortran source code for your program. It also creates a corresponding resource file which is ready to load into the resource editor.

As you work through the Wizard, a preview field shows how your application will appear. This will change as different options are selected.

When the Wizard is invoked from the Winteracter development environment (WiDE), a project file is also created for the application's component files. This becomes the current WiDE project as soon as the Wizard completes.

Source style is configurable, using the same code generation preferences as WED, GraphEd and the resource editor. This ensures consistent code style when combining automatically generated Fortran sources.

A standalone version of the Application Wizard is also included, in addition to the version integrated into WiDE. The standalone version offers the same functionality to users who prefer to develop from the command line or in a third-party development environment.
