I am looking for a window-based forms package which enables field data typing/
validation operating in a GUI like SunView or X. I have talked to many of the
major database vendors (such as Oracle, Informix, and Ingres) and standalone
forms vendors (such as C-Scape and Windows for Data) but have been surprised
to find that they only support character oriented displays like the vt100
terminal. The SunView environment supports primitives for text field
validation (via text panels) so why isn't there such a package available?
Alternatively, the X environment would be even better (for us) but no such
primitives for building forms exist (that I know of) and it appears that no
company is willing to develop something like this for anything but the PC.
Any leads to such a forms package/generator would be much appreciated!
The only stipulation is that it operate in the X or SunView/View2 environment
but not through xterm or a tty subwindow! Rumors, pending rumors and other
such info are welcome as well as the cold hard facts :-)
Please email to me and I will summarize if enough interest is shown.
If it helps, here is some 'thanks in advance'.
