I've always wondered the best way to automate use of a GUI in windows. When I was about 15, I wrote a little application that used some simple Windows API functions to automatically click on certain locations on the screen based on a script. This could be used to automate GUI applications, but surely it's not the best way. So, my quest...
Hi, I have a JSlider which shows bet sizes (for a poker game) I am trying to achieve the effect that when a mouse click occurs the slider jumps forward by a bet amount (i.e. a big blind amount) rather than just incrementing by one.

I'm trying to write a blackberry app that is basically a stopwatch, and displays lap times. First, I'm not sure I'm implementing the stopwatch functionality in the most optimal way. I have a LabelField (_myLabel) that displays the 'clock' - starting at 00:00. Then you hit the start button and every second the _myLabel field gets updated ...

Hello. I'm trying to make a GUI program with the Android SDK, using their Lunar Lander example as a significant self-teaching tool in the process. I've noticed their sprites' images' backgrounds, which were at least usually pure white, did not show up in their program. I want to ask how they did that, since their site doesn't explain ...

The initial list of items will be pulled from a simple DB on screen load and the list will be updated via "Add" and "Remove" events. This list needs to be sorted according to certain criteria. I am looking of a container class that can help me ...
After building the application GUI, I realised it was a little bit too complex and I could reuse some of the Swing components. The result is a complex class with many anidated JPanels. My question is: does Netbeans provide a way to split a JPanel and its children components into a different class? If I do it by hand, will the GUI desig...
Can anyone please suggest any good GUI Design Tool apart from Droiddraw? ...
I noticed that the sample apps from QT show their menu bar as opaque, and with a color that doesn't match any of the styling on the window. It seems as if the windows being created by QT when running on Vista or Windows 7 don't pick up the translucency that are no the mainstay of the new Windows look and feel. Is there a way to override ...

Probabaly a newbie question here. Is there a way for the user to drag resize QTableWidget? My QTableWidget is nested inside a tab widget, therefore it is not a window by itself. I tried implementing a QSizeGrip, but when I drag resize the grip the entire window resizes and not just the table. ...
I must be retarded with searching, because here's another seemingly common problem that I haven't been able to solve. Here's my problem -- I am using WPF and MVVM, and I have a statemachine that executes in the model. If an error occurs, I need to pass information up to the ViewModel to display the error. This part seems to work okay....
