    Effects of Scroll Bar Orientation and Item Justification in Using List Box Widgets

    Effects of scroll bar orientation and item justification in using list box widgets G. Michael Barnes Erik Kellener California State University Northridge Hollywood Online Inc. 18111 Nordhoff Street 1620 26th St., #370S Northridge, CA 91330-8281 USA Santa Monica, CA 90404 +1 818 677 2299 +1 310 586 2020 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract List boxes are a common user interface component in graphical user interfaces. In practice, most list boxes use right-oriented scroll bars to control left-justified text items. A two way interaction hypothesis favoring the use of a scroll bar orientation consistent with list box item justification was obtained for speed of use and user preference. Item selection was faster with a scroll bar orientation consistent with list item justification. Subjects preferred left- oriented scroll bars with left-justified items and right-oriented scroll bars with right-oriented items. These results support a design principle of locality for user interface controls and controlled objects. Keywords List widgets, scroll bar, graphical user interface design, usability study Introduction This electronic publication is an updated statistical analysis of Erik Kellener’s unpublished masters’ thesis, “Are GUI Ambidexterous” completed at California State University Northridge, CA. 1996. List boxes are used in many graphical user interfaces (GUI) today. Whether its a desktop P.C., a personal digital assistant (PDA) or an information kiosk at the grocery store, list boxes are integrated into most GUIs. The list box GUI component is usually present in an interface that asks a user to make a selection from a list of items. The size of the list of items can vary significantly, however the screen area required by a list box is usually fixed.

    Horizontally Scrollable Listboxes for Windows 3.X, Using C++

    Horizontally Scrollable ListBoxes for Windows 3.x, using C++ Ted Faison Ted is a writer and developer, specializing in Windows and C++. He has authored two books on C++, and has been programming in C++ since 1988. He is president of Faison Computing, a firm which develops C++ class libraries for DOS and Windows. He can be reached at [email protected] List boxes are among the most commonly used child controls in Windows applications. List boxes are typically used to show lists of files, fonts, or other variable-length lists of textual information. To add a list box to a dialog box, you generally edit a resource file, using programs such as Microsoft's Dialog Editor or Borland's Resource Workshop. Windows handles most of the list box details transparently. For example, if you add strings to a list box, Windows will automatically put a scroll bar on the control when the list box contains more strings than can be displayed in the client area of the list box. Windows handles scroll bar events - such as moving the thumb or clicking the up/down arrows - without any need for user code. Displaying a list of files in a list box is a somewhat easy task, because filenames have a predefined maximum number of characters. When you create the list box resource, you will generally make the control wide enough to display the longest filename. But what if you use a list box to display strings of varying and unknown length, such as the names of people or the titles of your CD collection ? You could obviously make the list box wide enough to accommodate the widest string you expect, but that would not only look pretty bad, but also waste a great deal of space on the screen.

    Unit 2 Lesson 2.1-3

    Designing User Interface-1 Unit 2 Designing User Interface-1 Introduction In previous lesson, we have learned how to write simple Visual Basic code. In this lesson, we will learn how to work with some common controls and write codes for them. Some of the commonly used controls are label, text box, button, list box and combo box. However, in this lesson, we shall only deal with the text box the label, and buttons we shall deal with other controls later. Lesson 2.1-3 Adding Basic Controls Upon completion of this unit you will be able to . Place textbox control on the Form. Place label control on the Form. Place command button on the Form. Outcomes TextBox Controls The TextBox is the standard control for accepting input from the user as well as to display the output. For this reason, they tend to be the most frequently used controls in the majority of Windows applications. It can handle string (text) and numeric data but not images or pictures. String in a TextBox can be converted to a numeric data by using the function Val (text). In this section, we will discuss the most useful properties of TextBox controls. After you place a TextBox control on a form, you must set a few basic properties. The first thing I do as soon as I create a new TextBox control is clear its Textproperty. If this is a multiline field, I also set the MultiLineproperty to True. You can set the Alignment property of TextBox controls to left align, right align, or center the contents of the control.

  • Programming with Windows Forms

    Programming with Windows Forms

    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Programming with Windows Forms Since the release of the .NET platform (circa 2001), the base class libraries have included a particular API named Windows Forms, represented primarily by the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. The Windows Forms toolkit provides the types necessary to build desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), create custom controls, manage resources (e.g., string tables and icons), and perform other desktop- centric programming tasks. In addition, a separate API named GDI+ (represented by the System.Drawing.dll assembly) provides additional types that allow programmers to generate 2D graphics, interact with networked printers, and manipulate image data. The Windows Forms (and GDI+) APIs remain alive and well within the .NET 4.0 platform, and they will exist within the base class library for quite some time (arguably forever). However, Microsoft has shipped a brand new GUI toolkit called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) since the release of .NET 3.0. As you saw in Chapters 27-31, WPF provides a massive amount of horsepower that you can use to build bleeding-edge user interfaces, and it has become the preferred desktop API for today’s .NET graphical user interfaces. The point of this appendix, however, is to provide a tour of the traditional Windows Forms API. One reason it is helpful to understand the original programming model: you can find many existing Windows Forms applications out there that will need to be maintained for some time to come. Also, many desktop GUIs simply might not require the horsepower offered by WPF.

    SHETRAN and HEC HMS Model Evaluation for Runoff and Soil Moisture Simulation in the Jiˇcinkariver Catchment (Czech Republic)

    water Article SHETRAN and HEC HMS Model Evaluation for Runoff and Soil Moisture Simulation in the JiˇcinkaRiver Catchment (Czech Republic) Vesna Ðuki´c* and Ranka Eri´c Faculty of Forestry, Department of Ecological Engineering for Soil and Water Resources, Protection University of Belgrade, Kneza VIšeslava 1, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +381-60-367-4549 Abstract: Due to the improvement of computation power, in recent decades considerable progress has been made in the development of complex hydrological models. On the other hand, simple conceptual models have also been advanced. Previous studies on rainfall–runoff models have shown that model performance depends very much on the model structure. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a complex hydrological model leads to more accurate results or not and to analyze whether some model structures are more efficient than others. Different configurations of the two models of different complexity, the Système Hydrologique Européen TRANsport (SHETRAN) and Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS), were compared and evaluated in simulating flash flood runoff for the small (75.9 km2) JiˇcinkaRiver catchment in the Czech Republic. The two models were compared with respect to runoff simulations at the catchment outlet and soil moisture simulations within the catchment. The results indicate that the more complex SHETRAN model outperforms Citation: Ðuki´c,V.; Eri´c,R. the simpler HEC HMS model in case of runoff, but not for soil moisture. It can be concluded that SHETRAN and HEC HMS Model the models with higher complexity do not necessarily provide better model performance, and that Evaluation for Runoff and Soil the reliability of hydrological model simulations can vary depending on the hydrological variable Moisture Simulation in the Jiˇcinka under consideration.
