Rogue Wave Software, a division of Quovadx, Inc., today announced the release of a significant update to the Stingray product suite, including enhancements to the Stingray® Studio, Objective Grid and Objective Toolkit. With this release all Stingray® products now work seamlessly with Visual Studio 2005, enabling use of Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) based products in Microsoft .NET environment. The Stingray® product suite simplifies the development of Windows-style front-end applications.

This release of Rogue Wave® Stingray Studio 2006 provides the graphical components needed to mimic the look and feel of Microsoft applications, facilitating the creation of customized user interfaces. By providing flexible, comprehensive components that handle the details of MFC, Microsoft .NET, and ActiveX graphical user interface (GUI) functionality, Rogue Wave Stingray Studio allows developers to shift their focus to the user requirements and the business logic of the application, decreasing development time and costs.

Stingray Studio 2006 offers software developers several key enhancements to facilitate and simplify the development and migration of “Microsoft-style” front-ends for applications built on Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), ActiveX or Microsoft .NET technology platforms. The Stingray 2006 product suite includes the following enhancements:

  • Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

  • Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 integration with .NET

  • Stingray Objective Toolkit controls and windows support for Microsoft Office 2003 look and feel

  • Auto-hiding of docking/floating windows in Stingray Objective Toolkit

  • Curve fitting in Stingray Objective Chart

"Developers often struggle to efficiently build front-end applications with a consistent interface across MFC, ActiveX and .NET. Stingray Studio, by handling the low-level details of GUI application development, allows developers to focus on the business logic that makes their applications valuable to the success of their organizations,” said Shannon Lewis, senior program manager, Rogue Wave Software. “We remain committed to supporting the needs of professional developers by releasing updated, enhanced versions of Stingray Studio as customers' needs arise.”

Stingray Objective Grid is the only grid component that provides a consistent interface for MFC, Microsoft .NET and AcitveX in one package.
