I have an existing app with a command-line interface that I'm adding a GUI to. One situation that often comes up is that I have a list of objects that inherit from one class, and need to be displayed in a list, but each subclass has a slightly different way of being displayed. Not wanting to have giant switch statements everywhere usin...
Is there a non-trivial example application written in Factor language, pregerrably for GUI application which could server as a language tutorial? ...
My goal is logout current session, then delete the running local user profile. And I have a service to delete the profile already. My problem is, the user has no idea about the background service and who may power off the machine or login again too soon. The idea is that the service will show some popup, and it will not display "Welco...
I've worked on several desktop applications that used tables to group information from a database table. But keeping this information updated has made me hack different solutions like a working thread that updates a table executing a query every X seconds, or simply a button to refresh the view. I have even seen an app that would refresh...
At my job we put some elements of the design for graphical user interface in both the functional specification and the technical design documents. However, this is often easy as nearly 100% of the time we are making modifications to existing software. What would one do if they wanted to produce a separate document for GUI specificati...
Can anyone recommend a GUI builder tool for creating DHTML web apps using AJAX to communicate with a web service backend? I'd like to avoid having to mess around with designing HTML, marshalling/unmarshalling data, checking for browser compatibility, etc. The tool should have a library of widgets that can be put into an application and h...
The answers to this related question of mine lead me to choose Java for most of my backend services (it's a multi-component system). Now, I'm not sure whether that would be a good choice for cross-platform desktop GUI apps, as well. The Java desktop applications I remember using have that non-native look that I don't like, but I'm not su...
I'm using .net 2.0 with Visual Studio 2005 and I am trying to add two different toolstrips to the top of the form such that they show up side-by-side. I want it to be like Word 2003, where you can add multiple toolstrips to the same row and have them show up in line with each other, rather than dedicating a row to each toolstrip. So I ...
I'm looking for something that applies the collaboration focus (one location/URL, always up-to-date, multi-person online read/write access anywhere) of google docs / google spreadsheets to wireframing. Bonus points if, like Google Docs, it needs only a browser yet also works offline. More bonus points if it supports automatic revisions. ...
Speed and learnability do not directly fight each other, but it seems easy enough to design such a GUI that lacks either (or both) of them. GUI designers seem to prefer 'easy to learn' most of the time even when 'fast to apply' would be wiser. There's only few UI concepts or programs that are weighted towards maximizing the peak efficie...
Hey, every time i code a gui (in my case with GWT, never touched gui programming before), i notice that my code becomes a big mess, when the applications becomes more complex. It's really frustrating to look over my code and get a headache of all these setters in object constructors and this messy throwing together of these. I am usin...
Hi, What's the best book on designing pretty GUI for .NET applications? like Windows Vista style? Thank you. ...
Hello, I want to ask you if there is a possibility to program a Java Applet in netbeans 6.5 using the GUI Designer. When I was adding a new file to the source and choose Applet or JApplet, I found now Designer as in a JForm for instance. With kind regards Sebastian ...
I want to create an simple UI-editor that can be used within the browser. It basically should have a UI-control palette and a canvas to layout and modify the controls. The resulting user-created UI model should be stored in some kind of backend and comply to an (abstract) UI description language (e.g. XForms). The UI-model should be down...
What's the most appropriate background color for a web page? Why? What is the least fatiguing color for eyes? Loads quickly? Works with other colors? Works for the color blind? White seems to be best for printing and for load speed, but it can seem pretty harsh on the eyes. Is there a better option? ...
When designing a good Web GUI what expectations can we expect from an end user? I've come up with the following, but I wonder if there are any others which can suggest.. If I click on a hyperlink it will take me to another page/part of this page If I tick/untick a checkbox it might alter the page state (enable/disable elements) If I ...
Hello, here is a rather newbie question, but it'll be very helpful if you give me some clues. I am running a Java application (with Gui). Every time I exit the Gui, the session (what I have done in the Gui) is saved, and next time when I start the Gui, the saved session is loaded. When I install the application in another directory, an...
Is there any api for viewing html content from w/in your blackberry application? To be clear, I don't mean launching the browser on top of my app to view a page. But rather rendering the page w/in my app. ...
I have a Swing application which uses JFreeChart to display one of a series of queries. Some of these queries have a composite TimeSeries key. Each component of this key can contain a few values, but when rendered makes a very noisy graph. I would like a simple way for the users to hide/show some of the TimeSeries in the displayed Chart ...
