I ask about the pattern, not framework. This is kind of follow-up to a question on UI auto-generation. Do you believe in the concept of UI auto-generation from metadata? What kind of problems can be approached this way? The question arose when I've created a small library to support my student projects, which generates interactive CL...
I'm currently working on a program that has many of those "the user SHOULD read it but he'll click OK like a stupid monkey" dialogs... So I was thinking of adding something like a captcha in order to avoid click-without thinking...

I have been support a web app that is used by a user base who's age range if from 40-65. The app is very good and has the latest ajaxy stuff etc. What we would now call very user friendly and responsive. I am amazed as to how this app is not so userfriendly for that user base.

So you were assigned to build a basic CRUD application. And it has this one page that serves to list all of the inventory items... if your user wants to edit any of them, there's the "Edit" button next to every item. You know the drill. I was recently tasked to modified one of such CRUD page and it looked rather ugly. So I decided it c...

So I have a TMenuItem attached to a TAction on a TPopupMenu for a TDBGrid (actually 3rd party, but you get the idea). Based on the selected row in the grid, the TAction is enabled or disabled.

I've been at this for a couple of days now, so any help would be much appreciated. I've got a link which contains two divs sitting on top of each other. The top div is hidden, but slides in to partially cover the bottom div on mouseenter, and then out again on mouseleave. It is working to a degree, but is a bit buggy. This is what I have...
I'm a blind student who's taking a required UI class. One of the assignments is to take screen shots of both a good and bad application user interface and comment on what's good and bad about it. I'll have a reader help describe the interface to me but would like pointers on applications to check out. They must be windows apps. In answer...

Right now there is a save all button at the bottom of the page that sends all the fields 12x250 to the server where they are entered into db 1 by one. Which ends up being very slow and some times does not go through at all. I didnt come up with this ...

The routine should account for UK area codes that require different formatting (i.e. London compared to Edinburgh compared to Worcester) as well as mobile numbers. My phone numbers are stored in the database as strings, containing only numeric character...

We currently have a quite complex business application that contains a huge lot of JavaScript code for making the user interface & interaction feel as close to working with a traditional desktop application as possible (since that's what our users want). Over the years, this Javascript code has grown and grown, making it hard to manage &...

We're neck deep in a project right now, schedules are tight (but reasonable). Our general strategy is to get a strong beta done, release it for testing, and get feedback from our testers. Quite frequently, we're being hit by small things that spiral into long, time-costing discussions. They all boil down to one thing: While we know wh...
