Provides
a visual builder that allows you to build dialogs and generate a UIStyler
file (with a .dlg extension) that encapsulates the code associated with
creating a dialog without requiring comprehensive knowledge of the underlying
Graphical User Interface (GUI).
|
|
|
Insulates
you from the specifics of GUI programming.
|
|
|
Allows
you to rapidly create a dialog by selecting objects such as pushbuttons,
toggle buttons, etc. from an object palette list.

|
|
|
Allows
you to use your own user defined bitmaps.
|
|
|
Provides
an attributes editor that allows you to set or modify the attributes of
a particular object. For example, the state of a toggle button is an attribute.
The attributes editor enables you to specify a valid state for the toggle
button (ON or OFF). All of the attributes are listed when you select an
object from a list window.
|
|
|
provides
context sensitive help for objects located on the User Interface UIStyler
dialog. The bottom of the dialog window has an area that displays context
sensitive when you position the cursor over an icon.
|
A
detachable toolbar (located on the main window) provides the users with
the ability to quickly access and execute commands.

3)USE
Relative paths for bitmap files.All
bitmaps should be placed in the UGII_BITMAP_PATH directory!
4)The text field name in the format block must match the Object Identifier.
5)Use the single list option to display available options for a text field.
4)For
single line input, insert a “string” primitive.
5)Enter the name of the text field in the “Object Identifier” textbox. Remember, the “Object Identifier” field in the UIStyler dialog MUST match the text “Field ID”

The
dialog above has an option for “Restricted and reportable chemicals standard”
that lists three options:
1)GM1000M
2)GMW3059
3)<NONE>
But,
the text displayed in the block for the field on the drawing format displays
one of the following:
1)RESTRICTED
AND
REPORTABLE
CHEMICALS
PER
GM1000M
2)RESTRICTED
AND
REPORTABLE
CHEMICALS
PER
GM1000M
3)No
text
How
is this accomplished?
1)Create
the options list to be displayed in the dialog using the “Single List”
option.(See figure below.)

2)Enter
the text’s ”Field ID” (defined in the format definition file.) for the
name of the “Object Identifier”.
3)Click
on the “Items” button. (See figure below.)

4)Enter
the options to be displayed in the dialog window on separate lines. (See
figure below.)

5)Next,
create a “Scrolled Window” that will be used for the “hidden text” to be
used on the format instead of the option text. (See figure below.)


8)Change
the name of each of the options represented by each of the “Single List”
widgets to the name of the “Object Identifier” of the options “Single List”
used to display the actual options text plus the number of the option (Example:
RESTRICTED1, RESTRICTED2, etc.)
9)The
“Hidden Fields” options will only be displayed in edit mode. (See figure
below.)
