    Your Best Interface :)

    Hi all,
    I started this thread to see how others do in creating Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for their programs. :)

    Regards

    I meticulously program them myself; that way I can trust the code and I understand what it does and why it does it. I trust those darn GUI builders as far as I can throw a rock at them.

    kind regards,

    Jos

      Ditto. I want my forms to behave the way *I* say they will. " Dock.Left " only goes so far. What if the parent control widens? I want my items to take advantage of that space in the way that makes the most sense for that application.

        Me three. I whole-heartedly agree! Designing your own interface is a must, especially if you want to be completely happy with your project.

          And it takes WAY too much time! But it makes the application look 'finished.'

                That's not a GUI. The I stands for interface. There is nothing to interface with here. That's a wallpaper

                  Lol. I can't even distinguish it as a window or a form.

                    It could be a button ... press it and it does it all ...

                    kind regards,

                          I did see the pokéball, but some things are best left unsaid; even on the internet.

                          I create GUI's in MFC for a touchscreen application... God i want to upgrade to C# :S

                            Hi everyone

                            I am moving this thread to the software development area. Please everyone remember no technical questions no matter how simple are allowed in the lounge.

                              How can that be a menu? Does it rotate and changes or something... I wonder how many menu items you will be able to put there.
