I want to allow interaction on a trusted webpage to trigger execution of code on the client. The users will be using IE as web browser. The code files to be executed will be available on the client. The method interface of the local code files will be known to the webpage. This could for example be used to save data from the browser to a...
Hi all, I am using DateTimePicker with Australian date formatting set (dd/mm/yyyy) The problem is when user enters a day which is outside of the month (mm), control resets that day to "1". This obviously is a quite confusing obstacle for user - it's not natural to enter the month first and then enter the day [culture-wise] Is there a...
Hi, I want to record video with new iPhone SDK available on 3GS without user interaction. I went through UIImagePickerController and UIImagePickerControllerDelegate class reference. But nothing important came up.I also tried to look at the sample code provided by Apple. I am still trying to figure out that is it really possible to recor...
I'd like some feedback, and opinions on the following approach to UI design: We're working on an application that implements a series of industry-standard protocols. Each protocol dictates (very rigidly) how the user should perform the task at hand, from setup to collect data, to collecting the data, data entry and validation, analysis ...
How would I go about interacting with an existing executable on Windows CE using the Compact Framework? I figure I am overlooking something simple. Here is the scenario: I am trying to write a small app to do some common functions such as creating a user with a specified password. The windows directory has a few executeables which...

At the moment, I can still click another window, and interact with it, how do I only allow interaction with ONE window, until a certain event occurs? Ima...

My application is an editor for connecting "modules" (through module ports). Ports have port types. Each port type has it's associated comparator. Two types are compatible if their attributes satisfy rules implemented in the comparator. I want users to extend the application by implementing new port types and rules how to connect them (...
Hi, Currently I am preparing exercises about networks and mobile communications for students. I was thinking about creating an interactive user-interface which enables the user to drag&drop predefined elements and then implement a logic based upon element distances etc. An example would be to place two base stations (a predefined elem...
I'm using raw_input() to receive password from user in interactive mode, but I want to make input symbols invisible for security reasons, as it is when you're typing your password using sudo or connecting to a database. How I should do it? ...
I'm currently doing research on adaptive interfaces and i'd like to hear some responses from fellow Web Developers on this subject. We used to have static interfaces back in the day, where you couldn't change a thing and you had to learn the system the way it was build. After that came adaptable interfaces, where you could change some p...

I'm going to choose a topic for my thesis and it will be a HCI project. (human computer interaction). It will be a research project, and I need to think some kind of evaluation for it. I would prefer to not use human users or having to collaborate with psychologist for it. Is there any metric, or evaluation models I could use instead ?...
I have a problem that I have been trying to figure out and haven't been able to get past it because Chrome/FireFox/IE do not publicly publish their "rules" for pop up blocking when it comes to JavaScript, Flash, etc. I am trying to trigger a window.open() when a user clicks anywhere on page. I've tried this: document.onclick = window.op...
I currently started to "port" my console projects to WinForms, but it seems I am badly failing doing that. I am simply used to a console structure: I got my classes interacting with each other depending on the input coming from the console. A simple flow: Input -> ProcessInput -> Execute -> Output -> wait for input Now I got this bi...
Hello all, I've got a scenario where we have a customer who has a linux hosted php app (joomla) that they wish to integrate with some back-end asp.net mvc functionality that was created for a 'sister' site. Basically, the mvc site has prices and stock availability methods which (in the sister site) populates dropdown lists and other 'or...
Hi All! I'm having an issue interacting between Matlab and .NET. I've managed to call .NET methods from Matlab code and vice versa. However, if I call a .NET method that, in turn, instantiates a Matlab object, it crashes (with a type initialization exception). Think about this scenario: a .NET assembly is interacting with a Matlab dll...

I also want a behavior, so that the user can move the controls around.My contructor looks like this: var tg = new TransformGroup(); tg.Children.Add(new Scal...
