I've got a container, say a Grid. It has two containers, say StackPanels. StackPanel #1 has some rectangles. What's the best way to enable a user to drag a rectangle and drop it in the StackPanel #2 (and have that rectangle be a child of StackPanel #2). I've got the drag bit sussed - the only thing that's unclear is whether to actual...
Hey Everyone! I just mocked up a rough UI for a Time Management system and would like to get some feedback on it. What I am looking for in particular if I can achieve what I want to do in Winforms. Here is the mockup. http://is.gd/tH2A The area that gives me concern is the labor categories section. There could be from 1-24 different ...
For our company intranet, built in PHP and MySQL, I want to add an area where employees can post a short profile of themselves - a couple of paragraphs of text and an image. What's the best way to convert this kind of plain text input to HTML paragraphs, bulleted lists, links, etc? Clarification: This content will be displayed in a mod...
Hi everyone, I finally reached the point in my web app where implementing simple requirements is becoming overwhelming. I'm guessing it's time for a nice refactoring or a simple garbage and redo. Here are the simple requirements I need to implement on a table: 1) make the columns sortable 2) freeze the 2 header rows and first 3 colu...
To display a GNOME pop-up notification at (200,400) on the screen (using Python): import pynotify n = pynotify.Notification("This is my title", "This is my description") n.set_hint('x', 200) n.set_hint('y', 400) n.show() I'm a gtk noob. How can I make this Notification show up centered on the screen, or at the bottom-center of the s...
I'm learning Vim and with it came the urge to use 'hjkl' and friends on every other program, including mouse operated programs like browsers. How can I use these keyboard shortcuts, or something similar? I'm using Linux. ...
Hello, I have a hierarchy of categories, where a category can have a single parent (and you can have multiple levels of children.) I'm investigating ways to display this information to the user and it seems like a basic vanilla tree layout is the most intuitive way to go. But I'm wondering if anyone can suggest other approaches. The r...
I'm currently working on some setting screens, most of which contain a 2 column form with a preference question on the left, and a form element on the right. The questions are things like: Can add/edit other users? Can delete clients? Obviously this setting is a binary setting and most UI "experts" would insist that a checkbo...
I'm working on an application that operates entirely in landscape mode (UIStatusBarHidden=YES and UIInterfaceOrientation=UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight). I'm using a NavigationController, with my rootViewController (MainViewController) setup like this: - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfac...
I would like to add a toolbar, that looks like the one in the Windows 7 Explorer (see picture below), to a WPF-application. Because I'm new to WPF I wondered if there is a WPF-Control (free / open source) I can use instead of having to create a new one. I already searched for it but could not find anything useful. ...
What I'm looking for is a clean method to round the corners of all inputs with the class "submit". I've experimented with a number of javascript techniques, but none worked well for form elements. Pure CSS would be great, but, note, the button needs to expand, and will have arbitrary text. Other methods required really ugly HTML cruft ar...

I am looking for the Windows Look and Feel Design Guidelines (but not the one for Windows Vista!) that details the ideal gap between elements, etc. I found the document originally a few years back on MSDN but now I can't find it.

What do you call this interface control. You have 2 lists, one of the lists acts as your pool and the other as your current values. Tends to look like this [1 ] [1 ] [2 ] Add>> [2 ] [3 ] Add All>> [ ] [4 ] <Remove [ ] [5 ] <<Remove All [ ] [6 ] [ ...
I want to build simple console applications, but want something like QT and not like ncurses. Is there such a thing or is it only my dream UI? ...
I've begun prototyping a desktop app with Tcl and intend to present the idea to some venture capitalists. Neither desktop apps nor Tcl are in vogue and so I want to be prepared to counter any objections to this technology. Below are the pros as I see them, am looking forward to fleshing out plenty of cons I'm sure, but hopefully some m...
I've just recently started using VS2008 for a new tools project, and have been spending a lot of time in Eclipse/Java. The one thing I am missing is the thing I could have sworn was in VS2005 the last time I worked with it - the class outline. I'm speaking of the basic outline in Eclipse, where you can see the class members, methods, et...
I have an application with a DataGridView on it and I would like to position the rows such that a specific row is at the top of the list. I don't want a sort, I want a way to programmatically tell the DataGridView "scroll to the Nth row." Any ideas? ...
I need to incorporate a flowchart design surface into an app we're developing to allow users to create what are essentially workflows/schedules. I need to be able to create my own 'shapes', set custom properties on them and possibly have a bit of logic in there too (if, while etc). I know I need to take a look at hosting WF in the app, ...
I am creating a UI for a WiX installer, and I have included WixUI_Common. I have searched around, but I cannot seem to find a comprehensive list of the dialogs that are provided by WiX.
