Description
FarPoint Technologies, Inc., a privately held company with corporate headquarters located next to Research Triangle Park (RTP) in Morrisville, North Carolina, is a leading developer and publisher of professional components for Windows development. Our award-winning tools benefit the leading corporations, software companies, and independent consultants around the world as a cost-effective solution for building distributed enterprise-wide applications for commercial or in-house use. From the CEO to our newest team member, our goals are the same: to provide you with the innovative tools and support you need to effectively compete in today's competitive development market.
FarPoint's foundation began in 1991 (then Prescription Software) by re-introducing Drovers Professional Toolbox for Windows, what is believed to be the first development package available for the professional Windows developer, with thirteen new DLLs, including a fully featured spreadsheet control. Developers using languages such as C or C++ quickly realized the benefits of using our pre-built DLLs instead of spending their valuable resources developing these controls internally.
The advent of Visual Basic 1.0 presented FarPoint with a new opportunity in the professional development market. After being contacted by Microsoft asking that our spreadsheet be made available for their users, the first spreadsheet control ever available for Visual Basic was soon introduced in our product Visual Architect. Along with the spreadsheet control, Visual Architect offered formatted-edit controls in this new VBX format. The rising popularity of Visual Basic and our controls allowed us to introduce several new products to the market in the coming months: Spread/VBX, Aware/VBX, Grid/VBX, Tab/VBX and Tab Pro, while continuing support for Professional Toolbox for Windows.
