I have a ContextMenuStrip that I am showing programmatically in response to a button being clicked. Everything works as expected, except that the Items in the menu do not respond to being moused over. Whether the mouse button is up or down, mousing over the menu has no visible effect, and releasing the mouse button does not select an I...

How can I have it copy the image and move it to the trash bin so that it appears in both places?? This is the code: <script type="text/javascript"> $(fu...
I have a dialog which contains a pygtk.treeview for listing tasks by priority. Each row has the background colour set based on that priority, so for example the highest priority has a light red background. The row selection color is not so easy to change. I can set it using treeview.modify_base(gtk.STATE_SELECTED, "#C4C4C4"), but no col...
After reading the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines, I notice there's little mention of checkboxes in the style that one may encounter them on the desktop or web. Checkboxes are generally handled by UISwitchs on the iPhone, but for an app I'm presently working on, they're really not the right control. Instead, the control you'll see in ...
Hi Guys. I'm building an application where it loads contents off of the web to populate a TableView. I would like to add some sort of loading indicator so that the screen won't just contain the blank table. I was thinking about something like this: I've been trying to look it up on documentation and Google, but to be honest don't k...
I'm working on a Cocoa application which will be used for a digital-signage/kiosk style display. I've never done anything like this with Cocoa before, but I'm trying to figure out what the best approach is for building the user interface for it. My main issue is that I need a way to have the user interface scaled up or down depending on...
I have a listview which has a bunch of selections. I want to keep the focus on the listview in touchmode and get the item selected. What is the best way to do that? I found this blog: http://bestsiteinthemultiverse.com/2009/12/android-selected-state-listview-example/ and http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/touch-mode.html ...
I have seen the following snippet of UI code to use icons with labels <a href=""> <img alt src="img/save.gif" class="icon"> <span>Save</span> </a> OR would it make sense to make combine this into a single entity (i.e. image icon plus the label). My concern is if we choose a different theme (color scheme), then I will not be ...
I need to implement a wizardy, dynamic UI that uses complex validation of the style: If A = 1, show controls B, C, D. B is required, C is not, and D is not required must be less than 30 if it is populated. If A = 2, show controls B, D, E. B is not required, D is required but has no limits, and E is not required. If B is not null, show ...
I searched for a while but I couldn't find a question that exactly covered this topic. I'm looking for a web design book that covers both the design part and the front-end development part. What I mean by that is a book that teaches me about UI, color theory, typography, use of illustrations, etc (the design part) and also how best to wo...
I'm developing an iPhone app that needs to display fairly complex information, and I think the best way to display it would be to mimic the UI layout that Apple chose in their "App Store" app for iPhone. If you load the App Store app and go to the "top 25" tab, there will be the standard tabs on the bottom (a normal iPhone tab bar) as w...
Hello A simple question: how can I block UI thread without using sleep? Just to be clear: I understand that UI will freeze for user, but that's the idea... Can I run empty RunLoops? Any other ways. thank you ...
The Google Maps API for a Polygon does not offer a drag method. What would be an efficient way of implementing such a feature (i.e., sufficiently optimised so that it would not kill a four year old laptop)? Thank you! ...

If I set hidden=YES there will remain a black block with size of the UIPageControl. Is there a way to hide the UIPageControl Bar completely? Thanks for your answers. ...
in 1.8.2 I don't want to use the customer themed button. I need to create a few custom buttons. Actually very similar to the stackoverflow - Ask Question button. What's the best way to go about doing this and making it reusable. I'm basically using jquery ui out of the box, but I need to add a newly styled button. Into the dialog func...
Okay, here's my problem: I'm using WatiN to navigate a website, but then a java applet pops up in a separate window. Ideally, I'd like to automate that window (list box selections, key presses and the like) with something like the equivalent of NUnitForms or something... can someone give me a suggestion on how to do it? Note that I don't...
Hey all, I heard recently that Google were to opensource the Google I/O Android application - the one which showed the next available talk, speaker info, etc. Does anyone know whether this is true, and if it is, do you know where I can access the source? On a related note, does anyone know of a sample application which concentrates on ...
