A new object-oriented technique for building a dynamic graphical user interface
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper1 presents an object-oriented technique for specifying a dynamic layout of visual objects in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) . This technique deals with complex dynamics of: non-dependence on physical appearance and size of an object, multilingual objects, resizable objects, extendable objects, and potentially resizable windows. Dynamic change due to these causes the physical position and/or size of any object in a window to alter. This technique avoids the restrictions of using any underlying physical structure such as multiple cells (imposing a grid like layout). This new technique evolved as part of a development effort to realise a commercial product (GPE2) for providing a dynamic GUI on the Amiga platform. The technique has also been implemented in C + + as a prototype add-on INetworkDirectedCanvas class on top of IBM's C + + Open Class Library for the

متن کاملReusability Problems of Object- Oriented Software Building Blocks
There is no doubt that the object-oriented paradigm (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and dynamic binding) encourages the building of extensible systems and software reuse. Nevertheless, the desired reusability of software components often cannot be achieved even by using state-of-the-art class libraries/application frameworks or object-oriented programming in general. Based on a large-...
متن کاملDynamic Updates of Graphical Components in the .NET Framework
Modern software has to operate in highly dynamic environments. In order to provide acceptable application-level quality-of-service parameters, applications must be adapted to underlying resource availabilities and other properties of their environment. Dynamic reconfiguration provides a powerful mechanism to realize these adaptation. Besides changes in the application structure and used algorit...
متن کاملState of art and open issues on graphical user interfaces for object-oriented database systems
Graphical user interfaces have become very popular for database systems since they increase the usability of these applications. The functionality and ease-of-use of the graphical user interface, however, depend on the expressiveness and complexity of the underlying data model. With the advent of new database technology based on powerful data models like the object-oriented data model new chall...
