===PowerBASIC Compiler for Windows (PBWin)=== PBWin is a 32-bit compiler compatible with the [[Windows 9x]] series and the [[Windows NT]] series of operating systems, including [[Windows XP]], [[Windows Server 2008]], [[Windows Vista]], [[Windows 7]], [[Windows 8]] ([[Windows 8.1|8.1]]), [[Windows 10]] and [[Windows 11]] <ref>{{cite web |title=PowerBASIC Compiler for Windows |website=PowerBASIC |url=https://www.powerbasic.com/products/pbdll32/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080308053722/https://www.powerbasic.com/products/pbdll32/ |archive-date=2008-03-08}}</ref> PBWin can create [[dynamic-link library|dynamic-link libraries]]. PBWin applications can read dynamic-link libraries]. PBWin comes with a compiler, [[integrated development environment|IDE]] with editor, and stepping [[debugger]]. ====Dynamic Dialog Tools (DDT)==== You can create an application's [[graphical user interface]] using the [[Windows API]], or by using the built-in DDT language extensions. The group of BASIC statements which wrap [[Windows API]] functions, particularly in the creation and handling of [[dialog box]]es and child controls, is collectively known as Dynamic Dialog Tools. Using DDT requires less coding than to create a similar program using the [[Windows API]]. Using the DDT and the Windows API (known as SDK style as in [[Microsoft Windows SDK]]) are not mutually exclusive. ====Trial versions of compilers==== PowerBASIC renamed PBWin v9.07 and PB/CC v5.07 as "Classic PBWin" and "Classic PB/CC", respectively, and on November 1, 2016, offered them for a short time through their online store as free, no-nag, trial versions along with PBForms v1.0 (PowerBASIC Forms).<ref>PowerBASIC 9 for Windows and PowerBASIC Console Compiler 5: [https://web.archive.org/web/20161005022613/http://shop.powerbasic.com/pages/powerbasic-product-catalog $99 and $89 on 2016-10-05]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20161106163339/http://shop.powerbasic.com/pages/powerbasic-product-catalog $0 and $0 on 2016-11-06]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20161218181204/http://shop.powerbasic.com/pages/powerbasic-product-catalog $0 and $0 on 2016-12-18]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20170228152624/http://shop.powerbasic.com/pages/powerbasic-product-catalog not offered on 2017-02-28].</ref>
