WithClass’s unbelievable features are always
growing by leaps and bounds. See for
yourself how it supports UML design and drawing. WithClass reverse engineers Visual C++, Java, Delphi, and IDL as
well as reversing Relational Databases.
It supports Microsoft – Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for code
generation, reporting and integration and
has the ability to create Add-Ins to extend the feature set of the
tool. WithClass is an OLE Application
so it allows copying and pasting of pieces of the diagram into Microsoft Word,
Excel, and Visual Studio to provide manipulating of the diagram.
WithClass is an all around modeling tool that can
ease the developer’s life in all aspects of object programming. With a simple point and click interface the
user can be drawing models, reversing code modules and generating
object-oriented code in their choice of environments within minutes of
installing the product. WithClass is currently aiding corporate
programmers, consultants, trainers, system professionals, researchers,
students, and development teams in programming,
training, design and analysis. Users can
use WithClass to reverse their code for documentation, design and draw UML
diagrams to organize their thoughts, communicate their design to others, and
generate code from their design.
WithClass is a great complement to any of the popular
design environments such as Visual C++ and gives the user the flexibility they
need to make their code, reports and diagrams look the way they want.
5.0 supports the Microsoft® Visual Studio™ 6.0
development system through its Visual Basic® for Applications interface. Now users can have the best of both worlds
by visually editing their software design in WithClass and integrating into
Visual Studio to produce their application.
WithClass 98 is an UML Design tool that allows users to generate
Microsoft Visual C++®-based code from a model or reverse existing Visual
C++-based code into a UML Class model.
The latest version of WithClass has a full COM interface, allowing users
of Visual Studio 6.0 to see their Visual C++-based code generated into the
Visual Studio environment from a model they’ve created in WithClass. In addition, WithClass uses Visual Basic for
Applications to generate reports into Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. WithClass developers can also use the
product to model and generate for Microsoft Visual J++™ and Visual Basic.
The latest feature of WithClass 98 allows
users to create their own Add-Ins.
These add-ins give users additional capabilities such as creating a
Microsoft Access database from a class diagram or using Visual C++ to create
the code for exposing existing attributes and operations to COM. MicroGold plans on coming out with several
Add-Ins to support Visual Studio 6.0 during the year, such as ATL generation,
Internet file sharing, and integration into the Microsoft Visual SourceSafe™
version control system.
WithClass
99 is available in two versions, Enterprise and Professional. The professional
is priced lower than the Enterprise due to the fewer features
involved in the product. Special
features that only Enterprise has are as follows. WithClass
Enterprise provides VBA scripting, compiling and debugging
capabilities. It has the
ability to create forms and add ActiveX Controls
to macros controlling WithClass. You
can create add-ins to WithClass as well as develop a library
of add-ins that work with the Microsoft Repository, integrate
into Visual Studio, import/export
Rational Rose classes, provide
additional navigation in WithClass, and reverse
engineer and generate Access database.
Be sure to try WithClass 99 today and be
