Form Designer and Code Generator
for PowerBASIC Windows Compiler
PB/DLL5.0 through PBWIN8+
Phoenix is a complete self-contained Rapid Application Development (RAD)
environment featuring an advanced form designer, code generator and editor
for the PowerBASIC Windows compiler. With the ability to edit any number of projects
and documents simultaneously, and access to numerous WYSIWYG property editors, User
Interface design has never been so easy.
Tired of clunky listbox or treeview based menu editors? The menu editor is WYSIWYG,
displaying the menu in its true form as you design it. Need to initialize controls
such as listboxes and treeviews with data? Just open up the Property editors for these
controls and add the data right there in the designer. Tired of writing complex error
prone resizing code? The Layout Manager reduces the creation of complex resizeable
windows to a single button click.
Need to resize a control or change its name without fear of breaking old code? Just
reopen the project, make the changes, and rebuild. Your code is automatically updated
to reflect the changes.

Code generator
-
- Generates code using the standard Windows programming technique of source and
resource files. The generated code is clean, well commented and is similar to
handwritten code. That is, the code does not reflect the underlying data structures
used by the code generator, or form designer, or have unnecessary library code.
Phoenix supports two code generation modes and four project layout models. This allows
the choosing of a file organization that closely resembles your coding style.
