Automation Without Coding

Interact with the user and respond to mouse clicks and keystrokes using actions such as jumping to another scene, simulating cursor moves, playing a video, sending an email - all without complex scripts.

Interactivity Made Easy

Power up your projects with point-and-click widgets that are pre-programmed for interactivity. Drop in buttons, edit boxes, popup menus and more --- giving your viewers a rich and interactive experience.

Help at Your Fingertips

Learn to reuse scenes and content from existing demos with step-by-step instructions. Additional walk-throughs show how to add Web links, mouse-over effects, and many more advanced capabilities. State of the art documentation provides immediate access to the information you need. Hundreds of knowledge base articles available online 24x7.

Easy Distribution

Package your project in the format that best fits your needs: Web-based (now with Mozilla support in addition to Internet explorer and Netscape), self-extracting executable, auto-run CD-ROM, DVD, traditional installation, and more.

Global Reach

Localize your project to any of 30 supported languages. The DemoShield Player will automatically display the demonstration in the appropriate language by checking the language settings of the operating system.

ODBC Support

DemoShield's ODBC support allows you to pull text from a database for use in text fields, buttons, and variables via the new Query Database Action. Also use the UPDATE or INSERT SQL statements with DemoShield tokens to collect values for storing in a database. Store scene data, compile test results, gather user feedback, input survey data, even save the runtime state information so your users can resume later.

Show it in Action

Provide users with self-guided software tutorials and simulations. DemoShield's advanced simulation capabilities allow you to take screen shots with the enhanced Capture Assistant then edit and annotate them. Describe your product in the most compelling manner. Show it in action!

Professional CD Browsers
