Interface Builder generates GUI interfaces for LDA, PCE for WebAgent, ASP for ActiveLINC and DHTML for IEG's IE-WEBS and LDA Run Time.

GUI Builder for LDA and PCE

  • Based on user defined settings, building GUI interfaces will produce an LDA partial model containing generated GUI records to be loaded back into LDA.  GUI standards are consistently applied to the same LDA specification or from one specification to other.   
  • The Interface Builder allows the evolution of GUI screen development.  Evolutionary GUI painting is painting screens in small batches normally 5 to 10 screens at a time.  Attributes defined for a data item are automatically applied to other batches when that data item is used again in other screen batches.
ASP and DHTML form generation for Active LINC and IE-WEBS
  • The Interface Builder generates ASP or  DHTML forms.  Using an LDA model that contains GUI records as input to IB, GUI attributes are converted into ASP or DHTML forms. 
  • Features automatically detected from your LDA specification are:

  • ASP forms are used by Active LINC to web enable host LINC applications.
  • DHTML forms are used by IE-WEBS to enable using  LDA Run Time to deploy a production PC based application.
  • IE-WEBS is the interface between Internet Explorer and LDA Run Time and acts as the "router" using TCPIP as the communication interface. Once your LDA run time environment is setup, IE-WEBS can be used for testing of LDA Run Time sessions or for putting small non-mission critical applications into production on PC platforms.
