Why choose Phoenix?

A design environment that is unmatched by the competition

Leave your preconceived notions of a designer at the door, Phoenix takes visual form designers for the PowerBASIC Windows compiler to a new level.

• Simultaneous editing of multiple projects. The number of projects that can be opened at a time in Phoenix is limited only by available memory. As a result, copying and pasting controls between projects is no different from copying an pasting controls within a single project.
  
  
• Control embedding. The ability to draw controls directly or indirectly within other controls to any depth in the designer, means you can design very sophisticated interfaces without having to worry about what the final results will look like. For example, tab control design is WYSIWYG; no need to fiddle around with multiple forms.

A Layout manager second to none

It looks simple, doesn't it? In industry standards such as Visual Basic, this is not as simple as it seems. This simple form layout requires a maze of panels, docking and anchoring properties. In Phoenix, it is as simple as it looks. A few clicks of the mouse in the layout editor, and you are ready to test the form. No need to compile, just drag the borders of the form or click the maximize button while in design mode.

Need to get from this To this

Support for custom control creation and packaging

When the built-in controls do not meet your needs, Phoenix makes the building, testing, packaging, and addition to its toolbox of custom controls you create a snap. The Phoenix samples include the source code for a fully functional custom control to demonstrate the process.

Easy integration of third-party controls

Third-party controls are easily integrated into Phoenix via built-in editors. Once integrated, they are no different from the built-in controls. You have access to styles, notifications, and properties at design-time and run-time, and can even subclass or superclass the controls.
