COBOL applications lead the industry with their application features and functionality, but have lacked a full-featured Windows interface. Not because the COBOL language is inadequate for Windows development, but because the right tool did not exist to allow COBOL programs to fully exploit the power of the Windows operating system. Now that tool is here and the world's most popular programming language is integrated with world's most popular operating system! WOW Extensions provide seamless integration between COBOL and Windows, and full access to Windows capabilities. Now there is no need to look beyond COBOL to build outstanding Windows applications.
Make the Move into Component Technology WOW Extensions' default toolbox contains all the standard Windows controls, plus a special control for bitmaps. You can also expand the toolbox by adding ActiveX controls. These ActiveX controls can then be added to your windows and used by your programs in the same way as the standard Windows controls. This capability provides an outstanding opportunity to add special features to your user interface. COBOL Coding Has Never Been Easier This visual approach makes building interactive applications a breeze by easily integrating your program logic with Windows events. Want to execute some COBOL logic when a push button is pressed? Simply select the control, select the event, and enter the COBOL code in the code window. Harness the Power of the Windows API
The Windows API provides an incredible amount of flexibility to control your user interface, and WOW Extensions makes it easy to use. Simply select a function or message in the code window and a fully commented template is automatically inserted into your code. All you have to do is substitute your field names!
