GUI design/de

Überblick

When working on lazarus, certain design guidelines need to be taken into consideration. To prevent a diversity of styles and ensure the clarity of dialogs. The next article tries to summarize several guidelines to help you designing.

Dialoge

Dialoge sind spezielle Formulare, die den Benutzer auffordern, einige Einstellungen zu erstellen bzw. zu ändern, bevor Lazarus fortfahren kann.

Dialog Einstellungen

Einstellungen, die im Allgemeinen gesetzt werden sollten, sind:

• BorderStyle : bsSizeToolWin
• Position : poScreenCenter
• FormStyle : fsStayOnTop (oder zeigen den Dialog unter Verwendung von ShowModal)

Allgemeines Layout

• On the bottom all required buttons to close / cancel the dialog, or to recieve help should be placed
• At least fit a screen of 800x640
• Close on Escape (if key not used otherwise)
• Define default button and Return activates it (if key not used)
• Medium to complex dialogs should be resizable and size is stored

Schaltflächen Panel

The button panel should consist at least of the following elements;

• OK button
• Cancel button
• Next button (optional)
• Previous button (optional)
• Help button

An example is shown below:

Verankerung

To make sure that a dialog after resizing will keep on showing the components in a good way, anchoring is being used. Each components has a property called Anchors. With this property you can determine the way a component is anchored to it's parent.

Ausrichtung

Another way to organise components is using alignment. Each component has a property Align. By selecting the appropriate align position several components can be positioned properly.

BorderSpacing

Especially useful in combination with Align is the BorderSpacing property. (Also found on the Anchors dialog). A typical borderspacing of 6 pixels around a component is used.
