SftTabs 2.0 Custom Control For Windows

August 29, 1995 -- Wharton, NJ -- Softel vdm has announced a major update
of its tabbed dialog tool kit SftTabs. SftTabs 2.0 is now offered as a
Windows custom control, providing tab controls which can be used with
dialogs and also with regular windows. The new tab control supports many
different styles and tab locations (such as top, left, right or bottom).
The popular notebook style is also included. Individual tabs can use
different colors, display bitmaps or icons, use special fonts and display
multi-line text with various alignment options. The included tab design
application allows the developer to create the desired tab control look
(including colors and bitmaps) and generate the required C or C++ run-time
source code to create a tab control look. The design application includes
a "Tab Gallery" with many different predefined tab control layouts, so a
developer can choose the best match and refine the tab look.

SftTabs supports development of "Wizard"-style dialogs and similar
multi-page dialogs which can be switched in response to other Windows
controls (such as a list-box, buttons or Softel vdm's SftTree tree
control).

Because SftTabs is not restricted to dialogs, it can be used in any kind of
window. For example, with MFC, it can be used in a CView-derived window.
Even when programming in C, it is very easy to embed the tab control
inside an MDI child window and attach dialogs and other Windows controls
to each tab.

SftTabs fully supports tabbing into and out of dialogs attached to tabs,
proper accelerator key handling and default button outlining. Another
unusual feature is the available nesting, allowing tab controls (and
dialogs) to contain additional tab controls with dialogs.

SftTabs supports Windows 3.1, Win32s, Windows NT and Windows 95 using the
same API, allowing easy migration of applications across the supported
platforms. The 16-bit and 32-bit DLLs can be used with C and C++ (MFC and
OWL classes are included), or other DLL-capable languages using the
SendMessage API. SftTabs is implemented as a DLL-based custom control,
with support for the Windows SDK dialog editor (16 and 32-bit),
Microsoft's Visual C++ AppStudio and Borland's Resource Workshop. SftTabs
2.0 includes sample code written in C and C++ (for both MFC and OWL).

SftTabs 2.0 is offered at $329 (single developer license, without DLL
source code) or $478 (single developer license, including DLL source
code). Site licensing and volume discounts are available. Each SftTabs
license supports Windows 3.1, Windows NT and Windows 95 and is
royalty-free. Technical support is available via telephone, fax, BBS and
CompuServe. For more information, call (201) 366-9618 or fax (201)
366-3984.
