Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-By-Step Guide
Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Note: Completing the Mouse Tutorial and Mousercise exercise which are available on the Class Resources webpage constitutes the first part of this lesson. ABOUT PROGRAMS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS Any time a task is performed on a computer, it is done through a program. For the user, the program is the application – the tool – for accomplishing a task. For the computer, it is a set of instructions on knowing how to perform this task. Examples of programs include Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. The most important program overall is the operating system, which manages all of the computer’s resources and decides how to treat input from the user. There are several different operating systems in circulation, such as Mac O/S and Linux. However, far and away, the most commonly-used operating system is Microsoft Windows. (Note that Microsoft is just the name of the company that makes Windows, and that there are several versions of Windows. In 2012 all the computers in the lab were updated to the version of Windows called Windows 7. If you have some experience with the older versions of Windows you will notice that things look a bit different on a computer running Windows 7. THE WINDOWS 7 ENVIRONMENT The Desktop The first thing you see when you log on to the computer is the DESKTOP. The Desktop is the display area you see when Windows opens. The following items are the most common items that can be found on the desktop: Mouse pointer Icons Shortcuts to Storage drives Notification Start Button Taskbar tray Show Desktop/Peek button Andrea Philo September 2012 Page 1 of 13 Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Parts of the Windows 7 Desktop Icon: A picture representing a program or file or places to store files. -
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. -

Graphical User Interface (Gui) Lab
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) LAB This lab will guide you through the complex process of graphical user interface (GUI) creation. GUI’s are interfaces computer users invoke to make computer programs easier to use. They provide a graphical means to perform simple and complex operations or procedures. Computer programmers make most of their applications as GUIs so users are not required to learn computer programming languages. We each use GUIs on a daily basis. Any computer program that implements buttons or menus to perform tasks is GUI based. Some examples include; Microsoft Word, ArcMap, ENVI, S-Plus, etc. GUIs in IDL In IDL there are two ways to create GUIs; manual script generation (writing code line by line as we have done in the previous labs) or semi-automatic script generation (this process uses a GUI already built into IDL to generate GUIs (this will make more sense later in the lab)). Before we create a functional GUI we need to understand basic GUI architecture. GUIs are comprised of numerous widgets that interact to accomplish a task. Common widgets used in IDL include the base widget (widget_base), button widgets (widget_button), text widgets (widget_text), and label widgets (widget_label). MANUAL GUI CREATION Let’s create a simple GUI (manually) to display a few basic concepts. First we must create the base widget (the matrix within which all other widgets in the GUI are contained). 1. Use the widget_base function to create a base widget by typing the following code in the IDL editor window. ; creates a widget_base called base Pro simp_widg base = widget_base(XSIZE = 175, YSIZE =50, TITLE='A Simple Example') ;realize the widget widget_control, base, /REALIZE end The XSIZE and YSIZE keywords specify the horizontal and vertical size (in pixels) of the base widget, while the TITLE keyword creates a title for the widget. -

Customizing Eclipse RCP Applications Techniques to Use with SWT and Jface
Customizing Eclipse RCP applications Techniques to use with SWT and JFace Skill Level: Intermediate Scott Delap ([email protected]) Desktop/Enterprise Java Consultant Annas Andy Maleh ([email protected]) Consultant 27 Feb 2007 Most developers think that an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application must look similar in nature to the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE). This isn't the case, however. This tutorial will explain a number of simple techniques you can use with the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) and JFace to create applications that have much more personality than the Eclipse IDE. Section 1. Before you start About this tutorial This tutorial will explain a number of UI elements that can be changed in Eclipse RCP, JFace, and SWT. Along the way, you will learn about basic changes you can make, such as fonts and colors. You will also learn advanced techniques, including how to create custom wizards and section headers. Using these in conjunction should provide you the ability to go from a typical-looking Eclipse RCP application to a distinctive but visually appealing one. Prerequisites Customizing Eclipse RCP applications © Copyright IBM Corporation 1994, 2008. All rights reserved. Page 1 of 40 developerWorks® ibm.com/developerWorks You should have a basic familiarity with SWT, JFace, and Eclipse RCP. System requirements To run the examples, you need a computer capable of adequately running Eclipse V3.2 and 50 MB of free disk space. Section 2. Heavyweight and lightweight widgets Before diving into techniques that can be used to modify SWT, JFace, and Eclipse RCP in general, it's important to cover the fundamental characteristics of SWT and how they apply to the appearance of the widget set.
