Hi all, I have a Winform that contains a datagridview, bindingsource, file explorer control, etc... I need add several controls (Custom UserControls) to a Panel dynamically (like Panel.Controls.Add(...)). This process can be slow. I want to show to the user a message (waiting). What is the best way? I use Backgroundworker but I have...
I have a list of items as a part of a web application. The question is how user could manipulate the order of items in the list (not the list sort order). The typical way is to use arrow buttons to move items up or down. The other way is the drag-and-drop. But are there any other ways for a user interface for list reordering? ...
Short Version: Do you know of any way to get an input button (submit) and an anchor tag to render the same visually using CSS and no Javascript? Long Version: I'm developing an ASP.NET MVC application. The site contains pages to view the details of or to create or update my models. The page actions are contained at the bottom of...
I'm working on something where users can rearrange items, and at a later time, those items need to be displayed in the order chosen. As a simple example, consider a list of items: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. The MySQL table would be something simple: user_id, letter, sortnumber The user is allowed to change the order in incremental steps. ...
At the beginning of my app, I am initializing a UIViewController with a NIB. At some point, I am removing the view from the screen, then releasing it, so it no longer takes up memory. (At this point I am also saving the state of the view in the UIViewController) At a later point, I want to recreate the view and bring it back on screen...
I would like to create application with ribbon interface that looks and behaves like this: application have one main form with ribbon ribbon has multiple tabs when user switches tab on ribbon, panel below ribbon changes and displays content related to ribbon panel. That way, ribbon tab acts as if it is tab over whole window. For exa...
I know many on SO do not like subjective questions and I tend to be that way as well but am really curious about what others do when planning their websites' UI and navigation. I have been searching the web for useful flow charting/diagramming tools and did find a few but started thinking maybe other people have a better approach for th...
I'm using draggable(), but occasionally the draggable() seems to create a locking effect where the dragging effect persists even after the mouse button is released. Once this happens, the only fix is to refresh the page, which is a terrible way to go for an ajax-based site. So using the UI docs I'm trying to figure out a way to set a ti...
I really enjoy using RBSplitView, an open source replacement for NSSplitView, but I have a problem in my shipping app and am experiencing it again in a new project. The problem is I'm telling the RBSplitView to autosave its position state by giving it an autosave name. When my app launches the RBSplitView doesn't seem to honor the save...
I am using the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit Tabs control on my site. I have three tabs, with a UserControl on each. If the user has JavaScript disabled in their browser I really need to see some graceful degradation - the contents of each tab arranged vertically would make sense. Does anyone know if this is supported/possible? ...
When designing and building the UI for an application that uses AJAX, when do you consider graceful degradation (for users who have JavaScript disabled, or are using a screen reader)? At the end, once the AJAX version of the site is completely finished At every stage of development I don't Something else... ...
I'm trying to think an interface for a time-keeping system that will let users see "at a glance" how much time still needs to be completed. This is complicated by the fact that there are no fixed hours - employees must work at least 6 hours on any given week day, and at the end of each month should have worked 7.5 hours for each week da...
Coming from many years of asp.net development back to a winforms application. Looking for advice and tips on how to "style" winforms similar to how I would do with CSS/Master Pages in asp.net. I am interested on how to update font/colors for certain types of controls in one place. How to maintain consistency for layouts. Any pointe...
I want to get my programme running on Linux but I don't kow what to do about the UI. Right now I'm using WPF but it probably won't be supported by Mono too soon. The UI controls are edited directly by the non-UI code. Switching to Windows Forms would be easiest but I think it doesn't really look good on Linux. What I am dreaming of rig...
Most popular web-sites that require you to log in, have the authentication form on the right side of the page. More or less. As a right-handed person, I find it rather intuitive to look at and convenient to work withthat I don't have to sprain my neck or move my mouse too much to select the username field (though of late, most pages d...
I'm working on some automatic update check code which runs when my app starts up. If there is a new version available, the user can download it or ignore this update. If the user ignores this update, then the version number of this update is stored in a VersionForUpdateCheck preference. If this preference is set, then future checks wil...
Crap. I've been tasked to create a technical spec for a UI I am developing. This is my first real developer job, and after looking at the tech spec for the backend of the project, I feel a little in over my head. I can do mockups and wireframes till the cows come home, but I'm not really sure how to put all this information together. Do...
Hi, I launch a thread via ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem which has a messagebox dialogue in it: System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult dr = System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("would you like to download upgrade in background? ..", "Upgrade Available", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo); It seems to work fine however I am a little suspicious after so...
I don't want to reinvent the whell, I must display remote files and folders (like SQL Management studio does), should I develop my own interface and logic or there is an alternative?
