WinKit – Modernise your ABL GUI

Speaker: Mike Fechner, Director, Consultingwerk Ltd

The WinKit is part of Consultingwerk's suite of OpenEdge application modernisation solutions. The WinKit is the unique tool to simplify the adoption of the OpenEdge GUI for .NET in existing OpenEdge GUI applications. The WinKit uses the new user interface technology to enhance the visual appearance of any existing OpenEdge GUI applications with features and components like modern toolbars or Ribbon controls, Dockable Panes, powerful Grids, TabFolders and .optionally MDI. The WinKit has been designed to integrate into any framework and application architecture. The WinKit is very often a first application modernisation step, followed by an architectural modernisation.

This demonstration will provide an overview of the capabilities of the WinKit and how it can be used to improve the capabilities of every Progress or OpenEdge application of as well as present examples from real-world projects that have been migrated using the WinKit.
