Dynamic Management of User Interface of Business Application System

Today there is a discrepancy between the available resolutions of modern screens and the ability of standard windows applications to automatically adapt their user forms to those resolutions (resizing forms). Another problem is the justified aspiration and need of individual users of client/server applications to dynamically and permanently adapt user forms of the application to their personal creativity and needs, in accordance with the available options of the PC's screen resolution. The mentioned problems are reflected as a flaw in a number of the existing business windows applications developed in various development systems, and they may result in pronounced dissatisfaction of users. This paper presents a model of a solution to the mentioned problem. It is based on the addition of a separate object control (class) to each form of the client/server windows application. That class enables dynamic and permanent adaptation of every form and all of its objects to the active resolution of the PC screen in the business network, and also the recording in the data base of the form coordinates is adapted on the PC for each user of a form of the client/server application. In fact, it is a system of dynamic generation of the personal user interface of the application. As a result, an entirely new and extremely useful option has been created for the users of standard client/server windows applications.. The model uses a modified, generally licensed object class (http://www.activewebsoftwares.com, WebIntel@Webintel.net, VFP Form Resizer Source Code V-3) that is developed for the MS Visual FoxPro 7.0 - 9.0 development system. The implementation of the mentioned model in the MS Visual FoxPro 9.0. development system in this particular type of client/server windows applications provides a high-quality and new visual dimension, and also significantly contributes to users' satisfaction. In view of the above, this paper is aimed at promoting the concept of the need to develop a generally closed AktiveX Controls of the class that will allow dynamic management of the user interface that may be integrated into a variety of OS Windows development systems intended for the development of client/server business applications, which would solve the above described problem.
