Our company frequently issues important notices via e-mail as do many other companies do I'm sure. Our management team has turned to us to see if there is any way of knowing when a user reads this important information. I realize forcing a read receipt via e-mail is not reliable at all, so we are trying to explore other options availab...

I'm testing a new iPhone app with my end-users and found that a lot of times they misses the clickable area of a UITableCell and perform the wrong action. (Some users never before use any kind of computer!). Then I try myself and found that still I can fail sometimes. So I wonder how increase the tappable area of the cell with accessory...
Ok, this should be easy for the right person: Is it possible to edit the revert position of a jQuery UI draggables helper? For example, I have icons the user can click and drag into groups on the page. When the user clicks an icon and starts dragging, a helper message appears right under their cursor and follows the cursor so long as the...
I've noticed that many Microsoft applications will name some buttons with "..." at the end. These buttons always seem to open up a new dialog. There are some buttons, however, that don't have "...", but do open up new dialog. For example, in Windows XP, when I open a folder's "Properties" dialog from Windows Explorer, there is an "Adv...
Many times I hear that F# is not suited to particular tasks, such as UI. "Use the right tool" is a common phrase. Apart from missing tools such as a WinForms/WPF/ORM designer, I'm not sure what exactly is missing in F# -- honestly! Yet, particularly with UI, I'm told that C# just does it better. So, what are the actual differences and ...

Until today I had not realized there was a difference between a list-box (like the HTML Form control drop-down selection box) and a "combo box" which is a combination of the list-box and the text-entry control. So the ComboBox allows the user to enter in a new value and if programed to do so, will append the value to the list of values ...
I have a custom EditText and a TextView in an Activity. The custom EditText traps for key presses and calculates the number of character entered and wants to publish the character count to the TextView. Do I use the java.util.Observable/Observer way ? Or is there a more native android method to achive this ? Thanks. ...
How can I determine the direction of resize operation? I tried googling that and found a ticket on jquery ui, that said it is fixed. But there is no doc on how to use it. ...
Hello. I needed a slider with two knobs on it (representing a range) and I found this nifty one here. However, they created their own U.I. which extends Java's BasicSliderUI. They override the paint method to draw their own knobs. I would like to use the default knobs based on the current look and feel. I tried calling BasicSliderUI...
An aggregate type T is made up of 4 strings: t = c1 c2 c3 c4 Each of c1 c2 c3 c4 can have a number of unique values: c1 may have a number of unique values c1.1, c1.2, c1.3, ... c1.n, where 'n' can be fairly high, about 30,000. c2 has far fewer unique values, no more than 5, i.e., n < 5 For c3 and c4, n is unpredictable but generally 1...

I am working on an Rails app which has an admin section for setting up organisations. The hierarchy of which is: Organisation Area Office Division Department I have used ActiveScaffold to knock together something really quick, but it makes for a pretty horrid UI.

I sincerly believe that cool-looking UI has significant contribution to the value of your software. It not only significantly improves sales but also ease user-buyin, upgrading willingness, or just causes some pleasant moments to the user. To get cool UI, you will need a lot of images, and you need to play frequently with transparancy....
The QA manager where I work just informed me there is a bug in my desktop app due to the sign on prompt being "Operator Id" when it should be "Operator ID". Her argument being that "Id" refers to the ego portion of Freud's "psychic apparatus" and is not semantically correct. Now being an anal engineer (AE) I of course had to go and look...
I heard its the next best thing in building WPF UIs, but all existing examples have dozens of lines of code - can I get a Hello World for MVVM that explains in no uncertain terms what its all about? I'm fairly new to C#/.net as well, so maybe point me to some resources that could help too? Much appreciated! ...
As a question similar to this question, I also have an application with a DataGridView on it. I would like to position the rows such that a specific row is at the bottom of the visible part of the list. This is in response to a button click that moves a row down by one. I want to maintain the selection on the row I'm moving (I already h...
