<DIV><FONT size=2>I've noticed that this one didn't make it to the reflector
last week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So I'm trying again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>BTW: This time I leave the bitmaps out and copy them manually
to the ftp site in some minutes.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><B>Subject:</B> User Interface sample</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I played around over the weekend to get used to it and find
out, if I missed some important pieces.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>At least it works for me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>There are two samples I practiced with:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>IndependentUISample.xml, which shows a sample, which has
nothing to do with drivers or UPDF other than using the structure. I just played
around. you may compare to the bitmaps I set myself as a target (see
attached).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The other sample is DependentUISample.xml, which uses real
references to UPDF features of the same description.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The user interface is still pretty dumb, but good enough for a
glance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Same issues:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I was thinking, if I could live without a 'page-based'
composition and somehow extract that information from a special superimposed
UIGroup, but I didn't get it so far. So it stays in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I didn't think too much about groups without a title so
far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>While an ID of a UIGroup necessarily contains a string
reference (typically resolved in a locale), an ID of a UIFeature must contain a
reference to a technical feature. Agreed?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am not specifying anything about justification or if the
label of a control should appear left or above the control. I leave all that to
the implementation and their automatic routines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Have fun.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Questions?</FONT></DIV>
