the interaction extras … more about widgets chapter 3 the interaction extras … more about widgets

understanding and choosing widgets widgets - bits that make the GUI what do they do what are they good for

one-by-one – WIMP elements widgets - bits that make the GUI what do they do what are they good for

widgets? individual items on a GUI screen ... three aspects: checkboxes, menus, toolbars, buttons etc. three aspects: appearance - what they look like interaction - how they behave semantics - what they mean

appearance

appearance includes words verbs - action words quit, exit, embolden, italicise adjectives - description/state words bold, italic nouns - usually as a form of description Times New Roman, US Letter beware of mixes … embolden + italic !!?!

behaviour Move mouse over button – highlights Move mouse off target with button still down – highlight removed Release mouse – nothing happens

behaviour … ctd. some bits the toolkit does for you some you control but is it right? some you control e.g. drawing, interactions between widgets beware timing issues e.g. large selections under Windows apps.

semantics menus, buttons, …, etc. do things … … lets make it bold italic

YOU say what it means semantics usually up to you think separately: although widgets may link direct to database even then, you say what links think separately: meaning first - what you want it to do then appearance - how you do it choose the widget for the job

what do you want? actions setting state/options but … usually menu, buttons, or toolbar setting state/options usually checkbox, radio button, combi-box but … menus can be used to set state etc. ...

how many? one of several options zero, one or more options free choice radio buttons, selection menu zero, one or more options checkbox, multi-choice menu free choice offer recent/typical shortcuts one line text boxes often terrible!

and more ... number liveness dynamic interactions fixed e.g. bold, italic, underline variable e.g. font list scolling through telephone list … liveness grey out inactive options dynamic interactions some choices dependent on others
