Palmphi is a Windows desktop tool for visual design and PalmOS code generation.
The main features are

WYSIWYG.
Visual design
Object inspector for controls and forms, like many visual IDEs (Delphi, Visual Basic,...).
Class browser with help, so you get instantly information about each method.
Code autocompletion, just type the name of an object and after pressing '.' you get all methods and properties for this object.
The programming language is C, but you can use some predefined objects.
The source code is preprocessed to allow a further level of abstraction, adding pseudo-objects that can be accessed through properties and methods.

Besides, you don't have to bother anymore with the installation of the individual components (pilrc, prctools, ...) for the environment as I have developed also an installer.
