Navigating among user interfaces

I want to ask how do we use HTML style hyperlinks in Swing to support navigation from one user interface to another within the same application. Please give some code sample if possible.
Thanks.

When you get the HyperlinkEvent, you can almost do anything you want. The navigation is just based on the information in that event.

Why hasn't Adobe navigation and user interface design improved as much as it could have over time?

I haven't tried CS6. I'm sure it's great based on what i've seen alone. But as a user of adobe products for a number of years, i have to noticed there are still a lot of stagnant,awkward, stiff, irriating, slowing down elements found in the navigation and user interface on cs3-cs5, that i'm sure could have been eliminated or improved on at least from 2005 or 2007 onwards. I find some of these things inexcusable and unprogressive from bad traits that defined 1980's and 1990's general computer navigation and so on.
CS5.5 has lessned this a bid bit and is more fluid in bits and pieces but for those using cs3-cs5 and in general, i find some things just horrid. As a graphic designer no one is supposed to admit the flaws or irrations of these programs. We must hail them as god, never critisize, and always adjust to new things which i think is a bit fascististic and silly
The way the tools, options are laid out can be improved to be quicker, and easier to find and use. Using your voice as a commanding system would be helpful as well.
A lot of cmds are too complex to remember, they can be simplier or resemble the name of the tool or option. Its makes a chore to follow this system and competition for the smart *** who memormized all the cmds.
The way in which you loose floating side boxes, and the amount of tools or names hidden in the bars sometimes seem random and its always a constant search to find them incase you forget where they are.
The inability to open cs4 or 5 files in cs3 is just beyond extremly annoying. Whey shouldn't you be able to open cs1 or 2 files or photoshop 9 files as well? Every five years work expires as well?
The layering system gets tricky and seems that a lot of things don't work when you normally move things. Its about going back, remembering and clicking on this or that, looking it up to make everything work. Sometimes which leaves you in a rut and wastes a good amount of time. You will always find this even after you've been using it for years.
The use of the fill paint/airbrushing, clone tool, lasso tool, pen tool, history being two steps back can be vastly improved to be much better to use
Masking and tools that have more complex features should find a way be automatically done or sampled. They can also have less complex steps and tha ability to be previewed, automatic or simpler ( in case you can't remember how to do something or aren't getting it)
A lot of the special effects, and blending modes are useless, outdated, super-ugly and don't resemble true darkroom effects ( such as polarization, and bas-relief for example) which they could much more vividly done. There also could be more options that are closer to repro cameras/CTP software for halftoning and more complex digital effects.
Having to press or get used to pressing muliple keys or clicks for the most basic things simultaneously can be reduced to be easier
Adjusting text, new documents, photos should have a smoother, quicker navigational experince where things a lot of room to be , clicked back, re-done, saved in the wrong place etc..
Indesign could use more shapes, include more features that illustrator has, and possibly even photoshop to save time.
There should be a way to remind you of features, complex things you've forgotten, other than history and daily usage/practice of the programs
The help should resemble more of "visual -learners" guide books with voice features.
There are a lot more
Regarding other things:
I think the price encorages more piracy and allows people to not have a concept of what is means to owning software.
The loss of a manual or lessening of them for certain programs is a loss because it's always useful to physical info you can flip through while looking at your program.
I think adobe should make entirely better products for professionals or people in the industry rather than spoonfeeding the same software to all.
They should also make less expensive add-ons like before for graphic software.
What do you adobe could have improved over time and if so what do you think they could have improved on?

UI (User Interface) text size and colors

Recent versions of Elements (7, 8, 9) have changed to a user interface which is predominantly shades of gray and black with few if any user options for color or font. The font size cannot be altered because Adobe use their own pixel-based font which is not compatible with Windows Desktop settings. So on many flat screens with high resolutions the font becomes almost unreadable. The upper case 'E' in the menu bar Edit for example, is a mere 2.03mm high on a 22" display at 1920x1080 resolution.
This has been mentioned a number of times over these releases to no avail, but at last there may be a change on the way for PSE 10 (later later this year?).
So if you feel the gray/black UI needs attention I suggest you visit
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/my_eyes_need_help_with_photoshop
where there are a number of comments. This is monitored by Adobe so may influence the next release. The more request there are I suspect the more likely some action. Adobe have already commented: "The amount of conversation that this thread has generated among Elements customers was unanticipated." on the thread.
If you wish to place a comment you will need a Photoshop Account and to be logged in. If you didn't create an account when you installed the product then just click Create Account at the top of the link above.

Font sizes are hard-coded in teh apps and there is no way to change that. The new CC versiosn support high-DPI displays and resolve those issues (mostly).

Dynamic user interfaces

Hello,
here's a little teaser for user interface experts out there:
I wonder what kind of techniques ABAP offers for creating dynamic user interfaces.
When talking of 'dynamic' I imagine something like an arbitrary number of 'containers' where other programs (classes f.ex.) can draw their own user interface into.
In Java this could be realized with the container concept in swing.
I have done some research on this topic and the results are so far:
a plain dynpro: seems to have no dynamic at all -> not an option
a plain dynpro with a tabstrip: in case the number of tabs CAN be set at runtime AND the subscreens CAN be drawn from inside separate classes -> a definite option otherwise not an option
any kind of web-frontend (BSP, JSP etc.): web-frontends are not allowed by company restrictions -> not an option
dynamic documents: I could not find many information on these yet (also not on sdn). In case that an arbitrary number of parts of the dynamic document can be created from inside separate classes -> an option otherwise not an option
I will be happy about any further information on this topic.
Best regards,
Patrick Baer

I spent some time today doing research on BSP's and built a "BSP-Viewer" embedded into the SAP-GUI. Though I like the concept of BSP's a lot (like I did already with JSP's) but company restricitions are too strict. So BSP's are out of the play.
After the discussion I started to play around with the different containers and basically I'm quite pleased with them and the "cl_gui_container_bar" allows an arbirtary number of "subscreens" which matches my requirements.
But as usual there's still a downside:
I found no option to built text labels and text fields into a container. Unless this is possible I can't give this approach a chance. I already found some postings which seemed to confirm that this is in fact not possible but I can't really believe it. At least from what it looks like it seems to me that the object navigator utilizes both: splitters, containers and all the stuff AS WELL AS the "classical" elements like text boxes, labels and so on.
Any ideas on how to combine the container concept with text fields, labels maybe whole dynpros or subscreens ?

Patrick Baer

How can I make a flash user interface with buttons to open up and navigate other flash files?

Hello I would like to make a user interface that will serve as a tool to load and unload other flash materials like a slideshow. I would like to make a kind of slideshow with Flash that opens up other flash files which could be around 10-15 slides (frames) long each. I would want to ask if there is any way to make a link between navigation and other slides easily. And if there are ways, what action codes should I use for this. Thank you very much.

All you need to do is load a swf into the main swf and target it with whatever controls you intend. If you are using AS3 then you could use the Loader class to load the swf and then target the Loader.content with your control buttons.

Navigation among iview of WebDynpro for ABAP

Hello Friends,
I would like to know, if Object Based Navigation is possible in ABAP stack, if yes, how ? would be nice if some one direct me to some good resource.
If OBN is not possible what are other ways, of doing navitation ( navigation among ivews and abap application, it means form one iview when calling other iview I could be able to pass the object ref so that in called ivew ( 2nd ivew ) I can retrive the corresponding information).
I came across an artical where its only mentioned that OBN is supported with both JAVA and ABAP stack, but did not find enough details to the topic.
One another thing which I saw was, there are inbound and outbound plugs for navigation ?? still did not get enough details.
Thanks for the kind inputs,
Regards,

Hi Shah,
Portal navigation can be triggered by using interface IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION. It can be obtained by calling GET_PORTAL_MANAGER of IF_WD_COMPONENT. This interface can be obtained by calling wd_get_api() at wd_this of the ComponentController. Regarding the usage of the IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION interface, there is some documentation available in the help portal. A quick google search revealed <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0e/a1e94205045604e10000000a155106/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0e/a1e94205045604e10000000a155106/content.htm</a> as the one to look at.

BPM Workspace Customization & User Interface: Best Practice Question

Hi All,
This is our first BPM Project in house and we are on Oracle BPM 11g.
The business process involves request for approval for a permit from a public user and internal users need to approve/reject the same. Pretty simple and straightforward so far.
But we are now having lots of questions wrt to user interface.
1. Work Space Changes.
If we develop this application completely in Oracle BPM, the outside user (general public) will also see the 'workspace' with its current interface. It would be impossible to handle user training on this interface for a simple Joe Bloe, who may not be computer savvy) So the requirement documents demand that the look and feel of the outside users should be totally different than what the workspace provides. They want this to be customized in such a way that iit would strip all of the default lay out (left navigation bar, and get rid of the upper section completely. with its list of tabs) and also to modify the task list that appears below).
We have figured out how to achieve this (by modifying the workspace .jar files and recompiling the same), but is this a good approach? What happens if we are developing a brand new application on the BPM in our shop? This change will affect that application as well, as the workspace is shared and common to all the apps? I want some of you experts to let us know, your thoughts on this. If this is not a recommended practice, what would be best way to achieve what we want using Oracle BPM? (Where we want a simple intuitive user interface, without the default add ons that comes with the work space)...
2. What would be the best method to create a user registration page (where a user creates his own login and password and maintains his account) for an application using the BPM ? Right now we are thinking this should be in either a ADF page/ JSP page or (worst case a PL SQL cartridge) that can be launched on the browser, which will be open and does not require any kind of authentication to access. Is this a good practice or recommended one? Or are we missing out on something within BPM application itself, that we are not aware of and that would let us do this?
3. Also, if we go with an external ADF application for the 'public' user interface developement, then how can we (or can we) leverage the BPM's internal storage for the submitted data from the payload? I understand that it stores this information currently on the server 'soa infra' tables some where? Thru an external ADF app, can we write into these tables (Is this recommended or just sounds plain ridiculous)???
Knowing answers to these questions will help us decide, if this is the right tool for the job at hand.
Appreciate your time and xpertise.
Thanks

Configurator User Interface

can any one tell how can I create a new Custom User Interface in th oracle configurator developer with out using the standard UI Templates.

Hi,
I think this is a bit old posting , I hope by this time you would have solved the problem.
Are you getting any errors when you press the Test Button?
If not please see whether the % of Layout Area allotted for Navigation Frame, Make sure that its not less than 30.
I don't see any other reasons why its not getting displayed.But If there is any error coming up in the run time configurator screen then would be able to help you more.
Thanks,

Demo of Adobe Presenter User Interface?

Before we go and spend the time to create our own in Captivate, does any have, or know where I can find, a demo of/tutorial for the Adobe Presenter user interface? We'd like to have our learners go through the demo/tutorial before they use an Adobe presentation for the first time, so that they'll know how to use the slide controls and the tabs in the user interface (and, thus, be able to control their viewing experience better, like being able to use the slide controls to pause the presentation if they want to spend more time on a slide or use the tabs to skip slides or search for specific information).
TIA for any info!
Laura

That's closer to what I'm looking for (although with some actually descriptions/explanations and covering all three tabs, just the main navigation/slide controls, and no need to highlight/explain anything within the slides themselves). But you're definitely on the right track, in terms of it being a demo/tutorial for the end-user, not the developer.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Unable to add or remove iView to role in user interface

Hi,
from last fews days, i am having problem with creation and deletion of ivIews on portal.
I created one iView and added it to the role which already had some iViews before... But the new iView i had added is not shown to user.. it shows me in content administrator that iView is been added..
After which i had restarted my server...after restart it shown the iView to user...now i tried to add one more new iView..but still it shown me the same problem..
I am also unable to remove iView from portal.. i deleted the iView from content administrator..it shows the iView removed from role.... but on user interface this iView link is still seen in detail navigation..
although on clicking it does not show any content for the removed iView..but link is still present...
Hve any one faced this issue before...!!!
regards,
Jigar Oza.

Hi,
did u added the iviews as delta link or copy.
This sometimes happens if you add as direct copy intstead of delata link.
Delete the view and save. After that add as delta link and save.
This may solve your problem.

Why has itunes user interface been ruined?

Why has the itunes user interface been ruined? It used to be easy to use. Basic functions dont work any more. Editing a Play List requires extra steps. I cant restore the useful side navigation bar where I could easily add a song to one or more play list...
Incredibly frustrating.

When I plug the iPhone in the sync options comes up once, but once you leave you cant get it back. There is phone icon in the top icon nave bar - but clicking on it does nothing. What is the point of the icon if it does nothing?
How do you get back to the sync options screen where you can select the music you want without having to disconnect and plug it back in again?
It used to be easy... More frustration...

Extending Azure Pack User Interface by adding a new tab in a SideTab entry

I'm extending Azure Pack User Interface, I have added a Custom Side Bar entry using "HelloWorld" Resource Provider. example
After a new Side bar entry is create, I want to add a new tab in that side bar entry.
In the "HelloWorld resource provider" i have a project called "Admin Extension" in which i have to extend the UI.
Initially I have added a new Html file in Content->Templates->Tabs called "Sampletab.html"
In Manifests->HelloWorldAdminUIManifest.xml I have added
<script src="~/Scripts/HelloWorld.SampleTab.js" />
<template name="sampleTab"
src="~/Templates/Tabs/SampleTab.html" />
In Content->HelloWorldAdminExtension.js i have specified the new tab.
navigation = {
tabs: [
id: "quickStart",
displayName: "quickStart",
template: "quickStartTab",
activated: loadQuickStart
id: "shares",
displayName: "shares",
template: "sharesTab",
activated: loadSharesTab
id: "settings",
displayName: "settings",
template: "settingsTab",
activated: loadSettingsTab
id: "sample",
displayName: "sample",
template: "sharesTab",
activated: loadSampleTab
types: [
The template name i gave which i specified in Manifest file.
function loadSampleTab(extension, renderArea, renderData) {
global.HelloWorldAdminExtension.SampleTab.loadTab(renderData, renderData);
The Content->Scripts->HelloWorld.SampleTab.js contains:
/*globals window,jQuery,Exp,waz*/
(function ($, global, Shell, Exp, undefined) {
"use strict";
function loadTab(extension, renderArea, renderData) {
global.HelloWorldAdminExtension = global.HelloWorldAdminExtension || {};
global.HelloWorldAdminExtension.SampleTab = {
loadTab: loadTab,
})(jQuery, this, this.Shell, this.Exp);
When i load the tab, i get template not found error

Hi Dinesh,
The problem is solved. We are able to view the Accounting Preferences Tab now in the Settings screen.
Actually the problem lied in calling the bbpfunction.html in the newly added html template i.e. 3500 screen. Actually the new screen 3500 is also defined in the BBPUM01 ITS service where we didnt write the code. So there we called the bbpfunctions.html from service bbpglobal.
We have many other requirements linked to this Accounting Preferences which I shall post in a new thread.
Thanks a lot anyways for your support !!
Regards,
Vikas.
