REALbasic for Macintosh includes a host of new features and functionality:
- The user interface for REALbasic 2005 has been completely redesigned to
make it more accessible to new users. The new browser-style tabbed
interface keeps items in the work area nicely organized. New toolbars
have been added that contain the most common functions. A Status bar
provides up-to-the minute information. The window editor, code editor
and language reference have all been improved as well. - REALbasic’s newly redesigned interface also helps experienced users be
more productive. Multiple projects can now be opened and searched.
Search results, including those found with regular expressions, can be
listed in batch. REALbasic 2005 also includes a new database browser.
All of these capabilities make it easier to find things and work more
efficiently. - REALbasic 2005 leverages the Spotlight technology in Tiger in three
ways. REALbasic users on Tiger can search all of their REALbasic
projects from within REALbasic. They can also use the REALbasic
Spotlight Plugin to include REALbasic projects when using Spotlight from
the Finder. The SpotlightQuery class added to REALbasic 2005 enables
developers to incorporate Spotlight searches into their applications. - New Container Control makes it easy to create custom user interface
controls. It also makes it easy to encapsulate code to facilitate code
maintenance. - REALbasic 2005 includes REAL SQL Database, a new SQLite-based single-
user database engine recently acquired from SQLabs. - Web pages or any other HTML-based content can now be included directly
in any REALbasic application via a new HTML viewer control. - REALbasic is now made with REALbasic and is an excellent example of the
kind of software that can be created with REALbasic. REAL Software
engineers have incorporated many new features and functionality;
REALbasic developers will reap the benefits of these substantial
improvements.
