Q: What is XVT?
A: XVT is a cross platform GUI development tool for C
& C++. XVT helps you build high-performance, mission-critical client
applications rapidly, then port them to a wide variety of platforms. Unlike
interpretive languages and emulated windowing systems, XVT leverages the native windowing system. Your productivity increases by streamlining and accelerating the development process and reducing your maintenance costs.
Q: Are there performance losses for the user interfaces built with XVT?
A: No! (but do ask our competitors this question and watch them dodge and dance). XVT delivers C/C++ ANSI compliant code that you compile, and the compiled application will use the native OS GUI API's to build screen views in all supported Platforms (at this time, there are ten).
With XVT, you get raw speed and beauty: compiled (not interpreted) code with native look & feel plus native GUI API performance. Why build a Chevette app when you can build a Corvette app? Give XVT a test drive today. Download
