I have been using EZGUI and its associated Designer for about a month. This is the third-party add-on for anyone working with PB/DLL.My Windows programming skills were elementary at best (and probably still are) but EZGUI has helped me in the following ways:
1) Quick development of forms and controls; thanks to the EZGUI Designer's interactive ability, I can create and test forms quickly, moving controls and getting just the look I want.
2) A better understanding of Windows; while EZGUI insulates the developer from most of the tedium of the Windows API, it has given me a better "feel" for programming and has sped my transition from DOS to the Win platform.
If you are new to PB/DLL and are as confused as I was about how to get everything to "work", you'll find EZGUI worth much more than what you'll pay for it. Plus, Chris Boss is extremely responsive to questions and suggestions about his work.
Just my $0.02.
