    Default Windows GUI

    Hi everyone,

    I have an application where I use a '876A as a remote controller with an Amulet Technologies touch screen LCD as the remote GUI. I need to have a local GUI to control the remote controller from a PC running Windows. Basically I think LabView is a huge overkill since I only have to set 3 analog values and 6 switches in this application (virtual sliders and switches on the LCD GUI). I also looked at MicroGUI from Rhombusinc.com and it looks nice but can't compile.
    Here comes the question; does anyone know of anything similar to these that can create a nice compiled GUI on the PC with a serial comm, without breaking the bank and spend 6mo. to learn?

    Thanks,

    Zenon

    Luciano,

    Thanks, but not quite sure about the links to mistrer-e's site. I was looking for something that I could design myself. It seems that a compiled LabView VI might be the best alternative right now.

    Thanks again,

    Zenon

    Thanks Luciano for the free advert

    In most cases i use Visual Basic and some OCX kit i buyed here and there.

    In the past, Softwire was free... not now, anyways, you needed VB to use it.

    Sorry, i don't know/use software like that.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Take a look at RealBasic
    http://www.realsoftware.com/

    Very capable including USB full speed.

    Capabilities of Windows programs involve more than PBP but easier than VB or Delphi. $99
