The Octopod for C/C++ is a completely visual RAD tool for Windows operating
systems. The natural, drag-drop graphical environment is similar to the Visual
Basic and Delphi. The graphical designer supports Windows intrinsic controls
as well as ActiveX controls.
Version 3.1 includes the support for BORLAND compiler, special wizard for
Windows NT/2000 service programs and adds a number of enhancements of the IDE.
The Octopod editor introduces a new technology called CodeToolbox that allows
developer to drag a snippet small piece of source code from the special 'toolbox'
directly into the code thus emulating the visual way of creating the user interface .
The snippet is then written into the source code. In addition, the code editor
has syntax highlighting; member and function listing while-your-type; online
help for the function parameters and intelligent help sensing.
The IDE itself can compile the programs using four major compilers: MSVC, CYGNUS'
CYGWIN, MINGW GCC and BORLAND. All compilers include easy-to-use project property
dialog allowing individual compiler and linker settings.
The Octopod comes with the thin Win32 framework that has a strong support for
COM/ActiveX technology. Using and making the ActiveX servers is greatly simplified
using number of wizards, and it is implemented under all compilers.

The target users of Octopod are C/C++ programmers of all experience levels.
New programmers can use CodeToolbox technology and project management functions;
while more experienced programmers would use Octopod because of its graphical
designer and CodeToolbox technology - both significant time savers.
The Single Computer License includes release version of Octopod 3.1, unlock
code for one computer, source code of ADO/DAO libraries and unlimited 1-yea
