Objects of Desire

I received my Diploma in Copywriting after studying at night in Rathmines. This ad represents the classic elements of an advert (headline, graphic, caption, content). C++ was still a relative newcomer on the scene, and I liked the play on the object-oriented terminology: objects, inherit and reuse .

Objects of Desire

Glockenspiel CommonView has really made its mark in the field of Windows development. Thousands of developers have used it to speed up and simplify their projects.

Now CommonView 2 is available, inheriting the success of its predecessor and extending its capabilities even further to deliver efficient Windows 3.0 apps.

That's because CommonView 2 works with Glockenspiel C++ 2.0 giving you a C++ object-based framework that reduces the complexity , cuts the code, manages memory and lets you stay in touch with what you're really doing. From compilation to execution, CommonView 2 applications are fast and powerful.

CommonView 2 objects model the real world of Windows. And that's just the beginning - from there CommonView 2 takes you as far as you want to go.

It doesn't anticipate everything. That's where C++ takes over: its inheritance capabilities enable you to extend the CommonView 2 framework. Just take an existing object and customize it without affecting the original. A few additional lines of code and you could, for example, turn an edit control into a password control. Then reuse it in other applications.

You don't have to learn a complete new language, you can integrate existing developments; it is portable to PM and NewWave; CodeView can be used on your C++ source.

The world wants Windows 3.0 apps now!

And with CommonView 2 you can inherit the earth.
