File Explorer Example Application - 2026 R4 Released!

 ** Hot News Item **

NEW File Explorer Example App!

    Software Tool & Die Inc. (STD) are please to announce a New File Explorer Example application. This application utilizes the "ns_tv_master" TreeView ancestor and the "ns_lv_master" ListView from the STD Framework's 2026 R4 release ancestor classes - that perform all the low level GUI interface. These ancestor classes add much "value-added" features to the application that inherits from them. This application also demonstrates how to implement a "split bar" between the two controls.!

 

   The STD Framework version 2026 R4 was used for building this example application. So features like, for example: Logging, Debugging, Performance Monitoring, Windows Resources Tracking, Themes, Messaging, etc features are standard framework behaviours. All which are in the this example utility by default inheritance. The Run / Wait Example application demonstrates the prowess of the new "nc_run_wait_master" NVUO ancestor as well as you now have the example PowerScript code on how to engage the framework's controls & feature file handling features.

 

File Explorer Example App features ...  

• This new app is built using the latest PB 2025 R2 version build 6464
• Built from the latest STD Framework version 2026 R4 build 2026.4.0.491
• App utilizes the latest STD Framework 2026 R4 ancestors for all working app classes 
• Utilizes the new "nc_file_master" class to handle folder and file processing
• Tested the File Explorer App on W11 O/S version 26H2 build 26300.9550

  

The File Explorer Utility App in action!

 

   The File Explorer Example application is a good example of a PB App that it is all driven by the STD framework. This framework now allows the PB developer to easily build modern GUI Application interfaces that are  required / desired by most today's App users. Implementing all the "bells & whistles" just by using object inheritance. It also assists the PB Applications with interfacing to the many of the O/S's low level features with ease! Thus the framework based applications allow the PB developer to be exponentially more productive as well.

Webcam Capture Example Application - 2026 R4 Released!

 ** Hot News Item **

NEW Web Capture Example App!

    Software Tool & Die Inc. (STD) are please to announce a New Web Camera Capture example application. This application utilizes the new "wn_webcam_master" window class from the STD Framework version 2026 R4 that then embeds the PB built-in Web Browser class object inherited from the "vs_wb_master" framework class. This dynamic duo then implements the live feed and capture of your PC's WebCam into your PB Application! From there, the App User cam take a snap shot of the WebCam's current image which saves that to a PB Picture Control. From there the App can then save the image in the Web Browser to the browser's download area. The example app then allows the App User to open up the files in the download area from PB and to select the captured image for further processing.

 

   The STD Framework (free & open source) version 2026 R4 was used for building this example application. So features like, for example: Logging, Debugging, Performance Monitoring, Windows Resources Tracking, Themes, Messaging, etc features are standard framework behaviours. In which all these features are then in the this example application because of the use of framework inheritance. The WebCam Capture Example application demonstrates the prowess of the new "Web Browser" built-in PB system class, and the framework's derived ancestor from that - plus, the PowerScript code required to engage it's features.

 

Key Run / Wait Example App features ...  

• This new app is built using the latest PB 2025 R2 version build 6464.
• Implemented the entire WebCam Capture uses only pure PowerScript code!
• Supplied P-Cpde and M-Code App EXE compiles of the WebCam Capture App.
• Utilizes the latest STD Framework 2026 R4 ancestors for all working example app classes.
• Tested the WebCam Capture example App on W11 O/S version 26H2 (new) build 26300.9550.
