G'Day,

I am looking to prototype a windows based GUI. Ideally I would like:

• Be able create new GUI's and change existing ones quickly
• The resulting "thing" to be self contained
• Have the ability to include limited data where necessary ie. When showing a grid including the headers and perhaps a few rows of data for the grid.
• Allow clickable hotspots that either allow a new screen to be shown or perhaps an explanation hint.

I have been using Visio 2003 for this kind of thing and then producing a PDF. However it has some disadvantages:

• Including data for grids is not possible
• You cannot include hotspots to allow changing of tabs within the workbook. eg Click on a button and it opens a different tab.

If possible a free / open source application would be preferable but a low priced commercial application would also be good.

All pointers and suggestions greatly appreciated.Rapid
