I'm trying to get my WinForm based C# to cooperate with the commandline too, but I'm having difficulty getting it to play nice. For example, I have this code: [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { foreach (string s in args) { System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(s); Console.WriteLine("Stri...

How might I get the output from a CMD process to display in my GUI? This is the code I'm using to run the process: try { String line; Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c \"e:\\folder\\someCommands.cmd\""); BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())); while (...

Hey everyone, I'm working on making an application with adobe air and I have a div that uses overflow-y. In order for the UI to look nice and sexy, what's the best way to replace the ugly default scrollbar with a creation of my own? Thanks EDIT: Everyone remember that this is on adobe air, not on a browser (I know better than to to me...

How can I write a GIU in Squeak? I'm a Smalltalk newbie and I'm using Cincom's VisualWorks at the moment but I'd like to give Squeak a try. I see that Squeak has Morphic for graphics but for the life of me I can't seem to find a package to write an MVC based GUI. ...

Advanced GUI and database in c#

Do you have any idea how to present all rows from let's say table with the possibility to click on particular row and open that way another window to edit? I've got no idea how to create this.

Is there a Python library that allows to build user interfaces without writing much code?

I am writing editing front ends in Python since several years now, and I am fed up with micromanaging every UI detail of a window or dialog every single time. Is there a technology that allows me to, say, specify the relations between a GTK+ Glade-designed interface and the tables and records of an SQLite database to do all the middle m...

I need to represent allocation of 100% of some resource between 3 owners in GUI - any recommendations?

For 2 owners the answer is easy - use a slider with one owner on the left, the other on the right, and slide to control the percentage of each. How do I do it with 3 or more owners? Specifically I'm talking about JAVA Swing-based GUI, but am mainly looking for the design idea. Thanks! ...

Is there a Python library for easily writing zoomable UI's?

My next work is going to be heavily focused on working with data that is best understood when organized on a two-dimensional zoomable plane or canvas, instead of using lists and property forms. The library can be based on OpenGL, GTK+ or Cairo. It should allow me to: build widgets out of vector shapes and text (perhaps even SVG based?...

QT GUI internals - widget painting?

I've been using QT for a while now and I've been wondering about something regarding the way the GUI is painted in Windows. Is it really painting all the buttons, edit boxes, combo-boxes, check-boxes, tabs etc' on its own using QPainter or is it somehow using the native widgets? The fact that it can do custom styling and skinning sugg...

Why does a Rich Edit control ignore character formatting on trailing whitespace?

I have a Unicode rich edit control v4 (based on MSFTEDIT.DLL). I'm using WTL, which I don't believe is interfering. The test OS is Vista x64. The application is 32-bit Unicode. All text is added programatically, and the control is read only. The user gets to pick the fonts used for inserted text, and those fonts can vary across the text...

Blackberry UI Programming Resources

I am new with Blackberry programming and Java in general. I do have previous experience with C, C++, VB, and quite a few others. However, this is my first foray into the Java world.

Regular expression extraction in text editors...

I'm kind of new to programming, so forgive me if this is terribly obvious (which would be welcome news). I do a fair amount of PHP development in my free time using pregmatch and writing most of my expressions using the free (open source?) Regex Tester. However frequently I find myself wanting to simply quickly extract something and th...

GUI concurrency

What is the best way(s) to keep the User from getting confused by this "Race Condition"? This could be a really silly question. One GUI, with a window supporting mouse operations of the objects in that window. Example, the User can move,push etc an object from A -> B. (This will have a impact on a couple of servers so it is a simple op...

What naming conventions do you use for user interface elements (including dialog boxes)? Controls: I use [Descriptive Name][Control Type] (e.g. OKButton, MainTableLayout) Windows: I use [Descriptive Name]Window (e.g. SearchWindow, CustomerListWindow) Occasionally, I will shorten a control type name if it is still legible ("Grid" inste...

I'm writing a game and I'm wound up in needing a console for simple text input; filenames and simple values. Using SDL, my console looks the following at it's simplest: class Console { public: typedef std::list<String> InputList; enum Result { NOTHING = 0, ENTERED, ESCAPED }; static const String& GetInput() { return...
