The Ecere SDK is a Software Development Kit including:
- A set of compiling tools for the eC programming language.
- An Integrated Development Environment, with the usual features such as:
- A source code editor with auto-completion, syntax highlighting
- Management of application and library projects
- A visual debugger
- A Rapid Application Development form designer, based on properties and methods
- A run time library, providing a uniform API across platforms, featuring:
- A GUI toolkit (with a vast collection of powerful controls: Buttons, Edit boxes, Drop/Combo boxes, Menus, Tabs, Tree views/Grids/List boxes, file dialogs, …)
- A 2D graphics API (bitmaps, fonts, international text, basic drawing)
