I have an application that, due to OpenGL airspace issues, has to host several controls in separate, exclusive windows. This is working quite well, but I am setting all of the windows to TopMost=true, which means that they do stay showing even when they lose focus, but they also overlay other applications... Also, it kind of binds me t...
I want to browse a directory where many Matlab GUI's (.fig files and their related .m files) are stored and change them systematically. For each, I want to search for a certain popup menu and, if it exists, delete some specific options. I usually use get() and set() or similar functions to fiddle with GUI's, but these functions require ...
We are designing physics app, and we would like to have it written in Java, and also we want to use root (root is writen in C++). Root has some nice graphical features -- it is able to draw very nice 3D charts, and I'm thinking whether it's possible to embedd those charts in Java app. Is there any way to make C++ code draw on for examp...
I need to make an image map using Swing that displays a background image, and then when the mouse hovers over (or clicks) specific hotspots, I need to pop up a 'zoomed-in' image and have it display. I was thinking of extending JPanel to include an image reference and have that drawn thru the paintComponent(g) method. This part I have d...
This is my first time building a UI in Access (using Access 2007), and I'm wondering what is the Right Way (TM) of going about this. Essentially, I have several different queries that I'd like to display as pivot charts, pivot tables, tables, and reports. Eventually I'm also going to have to build forms to manipulate the data as well,...

I was browsing the Worst UI You’ve Ever Used question, when I realized that many of them involved the options dialog of some application. This is obviously an area where a developer could get "lost" easily, since there are often a large number of options available which can be hard to organize. (Especially to the stereotypical programmer...

I am adding layout management to my winforms GUI which really just means that you can "Save" the current column settings with a "Key" so for example you can have "View 1" or "View 2". anyway, i dont have much real estate on the screen but i am trying to figure out the best way to: Allow you to save the current layout as a "Saved Layo...
I started learning Standard ML recently out of curiosity. So what I know is that is has an efficient compiler (MLton) which allows us to freely use abstractions without worrying about performance. It would be perfect if I could do some GUI programming with Standard ML, too. Is there anything like Gtk, Qt, or WxWidgets binding for Standa...
I'd like to prevent my window from being updated until I finish receiving data from the server and render it. Can I hook on the WM_PAINT event, or better still call some Win32API method to prevent the window from being updated and unfreeze it later? More info: In the context of an MMC snapin written in C#, our application suffers from a...
I don't think there is any program like VS Windows.Forms for C++. Now I know that "Windows.Forms" are in themselves a C# "thing", but it eludes me why no one has put together a similar graphical construction interface for C++ Windows GUIs. Am I just not aware of it/them? Should I try to make one (that'd be a challenge, for me anyway, bu...

I have written a small GUI based vb.net program that speaks to embedded devices via the com port. The GUI code contains a class which all communication to the embedded device is handled through (com port device, communication protocol, parsing info, holding device related info after each read).That class is called EDComms. I wanted to a...
I would like to create a general form so that it can deal with creation/read/update of an entity. When creating an entity, it may only contain a subset of all fields; when updating the entity, it may contain a different subset of fields; and when reading the entity, none of the fields are editable. Anyone with experience in designing suc...

Hi all am looking to prototype the UI for an windows application. The app will be deployed on several display devices with different (physical) screen sizes and aspect ratios. Would like to be able to generate scenarios optimized on one display and quickly check if the layout is OK on different screen sizes, orientations. That is, I'd l...
