Complexity of Applications with Clarion or WINDEV / WEBDEV

Hi There,

I am really interested in this product (Clarion or WINDEV/WEBDEV), but
would first like to know if people are able to create complex
applications using the product(s), and if anyone has examples of such
applications.

What I mean by complex applications is... more than just a simple
application with basic data entry pages; are we able to create full
intranets with content management, or CRM like windows apps which is
also web enabled, or email clients similar to outlook, or Inventory
management systems, or Web based time management systems? Keeping in
mind that I do have development knowledge in .NET, so I may be able to
extend the capability of what Clarion or WINDEV/WEBDEV gives out of
the box.

I know that you can't expect one product to deliver the world, but I
just wanted to know how deep you can go when creating applications
using Clarion or WINDEV/WEBDEV.

Thank you

First, I'd suggest you post this query over on the official Clarion
(SoftVelocity) news server - you'll get a lot more responses there.

Some examples of complex applications created in Clarion:

Product Description - SetupBuilder 5 Developer, MFG - Lindersoft

"SetupBuilder 5 is the next generation of our award winning SetupBuilder

scripting language with a full set of looping and flow-control statements as
well as commands to do everything from creating shortcuts, registry entries,
and directories, to reading and writing text files. This makes SetupBuilder
5 a complete software installation and configuration tool!

iDeploy

SetupBuilder's Internet distribution technology, called iDeploy, allows you
to very easily deploy and update your applications over the Internet. It
offers complete control and flexibility for electronic software distribution
and reduces your company's support costs. Unlike other web deployment

controls, thus freeing your users from having to endure a multimegabyte
download just to get your software."

Corporate Reporting for Multiple Properties

Today's hotel management companies are looking for integrated technologies
to easily bring financial and statistical information from the property-
level up to the corporate office.

Travel agent commissions are electronically transferred to a payment center
for all properties within the chain. General journal information interfaces
to the corporate office's MAS90 and Solomon accounting system in less than a
