This software is a powerful visual RAD tool for C++ programming that can work with various compilers, including MSVC, CYGWIN, MINGW, and BORLAND.
Octopod helps developers add a vast array of Windows intrinsic controls and ActiveX controls without much hassle. The latest version, 3.1, supports the BORLAND compiler, provides a special wizard for Windows NT/2000 service programs, and introduces many enhancements to the IDE.
The Octopod editor presents the CodeToolbox feature, which helps developers drag text snippets from the toolbox and drop them into code. This feature emulates a highly visual way of creating the user interface. Syntax highlighting, member and function listing, and online help for function parameters make the code editor highly intuitive.
Octopod helps developers compile programs using four compilers - MSVC, CYGNUS', CYGWIN, MINGW GCC, and the BORLAND compiler. This feature allows developers to adjust individual compiler and linker settings through an easy-to-use project property dialog box.
Octopod comes with a thin Win32 framework that strongly supports COM/ActiveX technology. Wizards and intuitive interface allow developers to create ActiveX servers easily. It is functional under all compilers.
Overall, Octopod for C/C++ is an all-in-one RAD tool with a wealth of features, making developing software a lot easier. More information is available at [website].
