Build high performance business applications in a high productivity environment -- and run on virtually any platform, against any commercial database, including an enterprise-wide application where development is spread across multiple incompatible hardware and software platforms. You can even adapt your application to the World Wide Web without any modifications. Integrated Environment Very much like the ""visual"" languages available today, DesignVision simplifies the user interface design, letting you focus on the functionality of an application or report instead of managing the details of creating applications with a consistent ""look and feel"" and functionality.

Trifox tools, however, are optimized and designed specifically for developing applications and reports that access databases. DesignVision offers a seamless integration of reports and applications, even in a heterogeoneous environment. You can design reports that call and are called by DesignVision-authored applications. Imagine letting your users call a form to query a database and pass the relevant data to a report without any additional work on their part. DesignVision runs in two modes.

The first mode lets you run old TRIM applications in a thin client or fat client windowing environment without having to recompile them. It presents an ANSI terminal look-alike. An NxM character (cell) object (widget) acts as a regular character-based terminal. Internal functions such as confirmation boxes, prompt dialogs, and list viewers all take advantage of the target presentation's native functions and widgets.

The second mode offers the full array of windowing widgets that comprise the DesignVision and TRIM library. You can run existing applications with a simple recompile. Applications can run on MS Windows, any system with a JVM, or any system with a browser.
