I need to let end users specify a time range, to be stored and used internally as a starting date/time and ending date/time. The range could be minutes or it could be days. Has anyone discovered an interactive control that can handle this elegantly? Most GUI toolkits have a calendar control, so I could specify "start" with a calendar ...
Trying to implement a progress dialog window for file uploads that look like a cross between IE download dialog and Firefox download dialog with a python GUI library on Windows. What asynchronous (S)FTP libraries are there for python? Ideally I should be able to do file upload resumes and track the progress of each parallel file upload...
As a two-monitor user at work, I've noticed that applications behave differently with regards to what monitor they open on (primary or secondary monitor, the last monitor the application opened on, and so on). To be honest, some applications annoy me because I want them to open on my primary monitor and I'll move them to my secondary if ...
I am developing a specialty application where the end-user needs to operate multiple controls simultaneously. The application is used to "tune" the control parameters of an electronic device to calibrate the unit to its best performance. Currently, there is a UI with multiple graphical sliders which the operator click-drags one slider ...
It must come with source. I've looked at these which look semi-promising: glgooey, guichan, and cegui. I've come across others that look more Windows-y than game-y, but that's not the direction I am looking to go in. I would like some simple functionality of typical controls (lists, dropdown box, etc.) but with support for graphical wi...
Do you know of a good means of learning C++ win32 (not .Net/MFC/ATL/Wx/Qt..) GUI programming ? A book, a tutorial, an existing project, preferably a hands-on approach with realistic example.. I'm not a beginner, so I don't mind "advanced" starting points.. With thanks. ...
I mainly use CocoaMySQL and YourSQL on the Mac, but I am looking for suggestions for Windows, in which I can connect to the database and manage it using the interface. ...
Does anyone have experience with trellis? Looking at it as a framework for defining rules for field interaction and validation in grids and data entry screens. ...
When I enable common control visual style support (InitCommonControls()) and I am using any theme other then Windows Classic Theme, buttons inside a group box appear with a black border with square corners. Windows Classic Theme appears normal, as well as when I turn off visual styling. I am using the following code: group_box = Crea...
Hi, If we are writing about power-wise option - is using a console-based application in C#(.NET) better than having Windows GUI and what's the real difference expept few libraries loaded in operational memory? The issue is about text comparisons and working with strings, connecting to Internet, gathering data, working with database. ...
I've written a setup.py script for py2exe, generated an executable for my python GUI application and I have a whole bunch of files in the dist directory, including the app, w9xopen.exe and MSVCR71.dll. When I try to run the application, I get an error message that just says "see the logfile for details". The only problem is, the log file...
I want to override OnMouseClick and OnMouseDoubleClick and perform different actions depending on which click style was used. The problem is that OnMouseClick is happening for both single and double clicks, and is getting called before OnMouseDoubleClick. I'm certain this must be a common requirement, so I guess I'm missing something p...
There are a number of great and not so-great Javascript GUI frameworks out there. I've looked at some (only superficially). And I can't make my mind about any of them Scroll to the end of this question to see what others say Ext.js The obvious choice by many since it's one of the most known frameworks. Advantages: Looks awesome, large...
I've noticed that when you create a web service object (inheriting from SoapHttpClientProtocol) and you use the Async method, it makes the callback on the Windows GUI thread. Does anyone know how this works? How can I achieve the same thing. I figure this will save me having to check for InvokeRequired in my GUI forms if I am sure th...
Control.TabIndex Only allows me to overide the Tab order of controls in a given container. Is there a way to specify this across all the controls in, for example a UserControl, regardless of the contains used to arrange the controls. Cheers, Jan ...
I'd like to write some small applications for Windows and OSX. Portable is good. For instance, the simple TclKit solution for TCL would work well if I could stand to look at Tcl for any length of time. I'm considering using Javascript + extensions -- I really like Javascript -- seems to me there should be some way to connect a Javascr...
I have been reading the MSDN documentation on subclassing and I have been successful in handling events in a subclass My issue is with passing messages back to the original WndProc. As an example, if I have a window, with a sub-classed groupbox control and a button as a child of that groupbox, I want to handle the button event in the ...
Again I concede the great and wise S/O: I am thinking about putting together a personal project to help me learn Ruby better (!rails) and GUI programming. I am probably going to do MacRuby but could do wxRuby or something else as well. So I wanted to get some options on how to guys decide on personal projects. That aside, what are s...
Hi, I'm looking for some help with creating a horizontal menubar in HTML. The menubar will have menus such as File, Edit, View and when you mouseover or click on the File menu (for example), the menu will be displayed showing menu items such as New, Open, etc. Ideally, I'd like to create the menubar and menus using pure HTML and CSS, b...
This question isn't about unit-testing. And it is for a desktop product. This is about testing of the gui and testing that the right stuff is input in the right text box at the right time. A company I used to work at used WinRunner (different department so I don't know much more that that), but that has now been shutdown by HP but they...
