 | HicEst for easy Windows programming |
| |
| The program is for technically interested persons. A minimal sample is |
| |
| number = 1 + 2.34 / 5
txt = "Value of 'number' is appended: " & number

DLG(Title = "Edit number or txt",
NumEdit=number,SYMbol, Edit=txt, SYM, Button="OK")
|
| You type a line of code in the code area supported by inline helpers, then hit the Enter key, and the result or part of it is shown in the left column or in a separate window. |
| Many Windows apps can be programmed in HicEst. But if you feel comfortable with a giant like the almost perfect Visual Studio, stay with it. |
