Multi-user database operations are automatic
The applications you create in Visual DataFlex manage multi-user concurrency without the need for any special coding. Plus, if you elect to use one of the many client/server options available for Visual DataFlex applications, your unchanged applications will trigger the transaction capabilities of the host environment.

Data Aware Controls without the need for custom code
Writing code just to establish the links between a control and your data is a thing of the past. Visual DataFlex delivers easy-to-use, database independent, data-aware controls out of the box to jumpstart development and deliver working business solutions fast.

Easily Integrate COM Automation and Active-X controls
Using pre-built components enhances productivity and accelerates solution building. Visual DataFlex enables you to easily integrate the vast array of COM servers and ActiveX controls into your Visual DataFlex solutions.

"No worries" about data integrity
With Visual DataFlex, a solution’s business rules and data validations are encapsulated in middle-tier Data Dictionary Objects that are automatically bound to the application interface whether it runs on the Windows desktop, in a web browser or as a web service. Data Dictionary modeling is accomplished with the Visual Data Dictionary designer allowing you to visually maintain your rules and validations without the need to work directly with source code.

Eliminate repetitive tasks and improve the consistency of your applications
Every component of your application, from the database and business rules, to forms and reports are reusable and extendable. Visual DataFlex’s enhanced support for sub-classing and external classes provides the simplicity of drag and drop development for all custom controls.

High-level control when you want it
When dealing with code is inefficient or unnecessary, Studio’s high-level tools provide fast and easy access to the visual and database properties of each control.

Complete control when you need it
When you have to touch and feel your application’s code, Studio’s Code Explorer puts it, and the awesome power of Visual DataFlex’s object-oriented 4GL, all at your fingertips.
