Imagine creating a DropDownDataWindow look and feel using HTML form elements
that can show more than one column in a ListBox on a Web page. The data

called the DropDownData-Window that shows the... (more)
Imagine creating your own Web browser that can provide the full power of
Internet Explorer (IE) including scripting, parsing and rendering of HTML

to contain Web browsers. A perfect example is Intuit's popular Quicken
program. Quicken has the normal look and feel of a stand-alone application,
but the startup she... (more)
Imagine creating a PowerBuilder application that not only speaks to the user,
but also understands when the user speaks to it. Speech recognition software
has been around for a while, but so far it's found only limited to success in
real-world use. However, some of the latest advances in speech recognition
make this form of input a viable option for business applications. In this
