Title: GUI Prototyping Tools - Mockups
Post by: miturbide on 2011.07.16, 21:08:39
Hi

Do you know which tool will be good to create OS/2-eCS GUI prototypes or mockup?

Tools like this ones (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?GuiPrototypingTools) but for OS/2-eCS.  I don't do programming but possible some OS/2-eCS development tool can be use for this too.

I want to draw a some ideas with the OS2-eCS properties tabs and controls. I'm not interested on generating code.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Martin

If you mean a quick way of building a gui for an eCS(OS/2) app then I suggest WDSibyl - http://wdsibyl.org/ - could well be of use.

Get yourself a good book about coding using Delphi (v2/3) on WindowsNT and you'll be churning out apps in no time  :-)

Regards

Pete

You can check out ure115 (hobbes). For new projects and when you do not need the OS/2 controls I would try QTdesigner. But I've not played with it until now.

I found this one.

It runs in firefox, but the drag and drop sometime don't work to put new elements on the window.

IMHO you can't beat VX-REXX.  Unfortunately it's not for sale anymore, but you can at least use the demo version for prototyping: 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-viewer.php?dir=/pub/os2/dev/rexx&file=vxrcsdemexpanded.zip&backto=%2Fh-browse.php%3Fdir%3D%2Fpub%2Fos2%2Fdev%2Frexx

The demo is limited in that you can't save projects or create executables.  Well, not in the normal way; it's possible to do both by cheating creatively but the technique is a bit awkward.

There is also DRDIALOG, which is freely available for download at Hobbes.
