Rogue Wave Stingray® delivers integrated and reusable GUI components with a familiar Microsoft look-and-feel that are designed to handle the low-level details of user-interface application development. The components are proven, easy to use, shorten development time and make it easier to maintain and evolve GUI applications.
Rogue Wave solidifies its leadership in Enterprise C++ with Stingray®. The Stingray product line was built by GUI application development experts to provide a broad set of flexible, comprehensive components. These components handle the details of GUI functionality and allow developers to focus on end-user requirements and the business logic of an application.
Stingray components provide rich interfaces that can be used to mimic the look and feel of Microsoft applications such as Excel®, Chart®, Visio®, Visual Studio® and Outlook®. Stingray's libraries of MFC extension classes work seamlessly with other technologies, like ActiveX® and the Microsoft .NET® framework, in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments.
Stingray's highly reusable user interface components provide advanced functionality that integrates with existing code. It increases developer productivity and accelerates time-to-market resulting in a reduction of costs, schedule risk, and reliability issues.
An international hardware and software vendor needed to port a DOS IDE to Windows® as quickly as possible. They used Stingray's Objective Edit and Toolkit components to develop an elegant user interface that is fully integrated into the Windows operating system. Objective Edit was used to implement a robust editor with syntax highlighting while Objective Toolkit enhanced the user interface by providing easy access to advanced Windows management functionality. The product shipped and Stingray saved developers six months of coding time.
Stingray's advanced UI development technology makes a difference in today's fast-paced development cycles. Discover why Rogue Wave is the leader in Enterprise C++ by downloading white papers and sample applications featuring the Stingray Studio components.
