General
Pro-UIS release 3.00 is scheduled for October
2013. Here is our current requirements plan.
Please read it over and provide us with
suggestion and comment on your
requirements. This plan is subject to change
as customer comments come in.
Quality
Prof-UIS is committed to providing high
quality products. We will start introducing
unit testing in all of our newer classes. We will
provide samples that exercise all of the User
Interface Classes. The new updates will
provide Prototypes to help users get started.
Our aim is not only a better library but a
better C++ experience. This should allow
customer to get to market more quickly with
more impressive and reliable products.
Support
Prof-UIS's goal is to provide a same day
response to support issues. We will always
respond within one business day.
Release 3.00
We are planning a number of improvements
in release 3.00. We are soliciting comments
on the 3.00 software requirements. But
remember, sometimes we will delay
introduction of features to the next release if
they do not perform up to our quality
standards.
New Themes. We are planning on providing
all Windows Themes from 2007 until 2013.
This may or may not include Visual Studio
2013 depending on its release date. We are
also planning on expanding the libraries' Skin
capability to be compatible with Web,
Android, and Apple products.

Release Cont.
Ribbons. There have been many suggestion received for
improving the ribbon classes. We will add a number of these in
release 3.00. We will also introduce a configuration system for
our ribbon classes that will write the actual code.
Grid. We will add additional types of columns to the Grid classes.
We will also allow the Grid to function more like a blank piece of
paper. This often removes clutter from the User Interface.
HTML. The HTML class will be expanded to support the
advertising classes. This will include some graphics and
automation.
Skins. The skins will be expanded to include additional
colorization and styles.
Resource Cleaner. This program will check the correctness of the
Resource.h files and the resources numbering system. This
program will also allow resource renumbering of Prototype
dialogs for inclusion in existing solutions.
Size Optimizer. The Size Optimizer will analyze your code and
determine the classes and resources required for your program.
This list will be placed in the Prof-UIS.h file for your project.
Ribbon Configuration System. We have had several suggestions
for implementing expanded ribbon functions. Many of these will
be implemented. This will expand the usability of the Ribbon
concept. If you have suggestions or requirements for expanded
Ribbon functions, please let us know.
Grid Configuration System. This program will write the Grid CPP
and H classes for a grid interface. The code can then be edited as
required.
Advertising Interfaces. Prof-UIS will provide several interfaces for
program based advertising. The demand for "FREE" programs
gives rise for the need to advertise on your programs when they
are used. We will also provide help to make your product
compatible with various App Stores.
NOTE: If you have developed or want to help in the
development of any of the Prof-UIS Utilities or Libraries
please let us know.
