writing a gui is a mess (independent of wx or gtk) - too much detail is
shown
and not enough abstraction is done. haskell can help.
i have written an experimental way of producing the GUI automatically
with a
description of the semantics of the types and operations involved (a la
ontology, evnetually comparable what protege produces).
the input is a descriptionof the entity ypes, the fields used, the
functional
dependencies between the fiels, plus the operations used.
the division in screens and their layout.
the rest ist automatic.
the result is a GUI (with preferably gtk but i had also a wx version
running).
the ideas were inspired by eliot conal's work and wxgeneric, which
seemed for
administrative applications either too restricted or to specific.
if somebody wants to try it out for his application, please write
fr...@geoinfo.tuwien.ac.at
(there is not much documentation and the code is not yet completely
clean -
testing by somebody else would be very valuable!)
