REX 2.5 for PowerBuilder!

Enable Development has just announced that Rex 2.5 is now fully compatible with the new PowerBuilder version 11.2!   Tongue out


Rex 2.5 is a tool for developers that implements the "Runtime-driven" development cycle, allowing developers to master the user interface and explore their applications in runtime. See the PBDJ Article.
 
Rex's many plug-ins enable developers to:

  •  improve the user interface in runtime by changing the layout and properties
  •  explore the application in runtime (windows structure, scripts, properties, buffers)
  •  create and reproduce test cases
  •  document and comment objects, for subsequent changes and bug reports
  •  send the application for review by graphic artists, colleagues, skilled customers, etc. without having to supply the source code

 

Any changes made in runtime can be applied automatically (and safely) to the source code, even when captured from the EXE.
 
Rex has three editions: Free, Standard, Professional, and is priced per developer (200€ for the Standard edition, 500€ for the Professional edition). The Professional edition's 30-day trial transforms into Rex Free, a functional and practical tool, after the evaluation period expires.
 
More about Rex, check out the Enable Website (see the flash movie for an introduction).
