Oh, noes! This widget suffers from so many usability issues I can't believe it still exists.
1. controls are microscopic 2. it's not obvious you can switch between fields by clicking on them since fields are enclosed in a single box with no visible separators 3. you cannot jump to desired values (you must cycle through values) The optimal control would: 1. use familiar mechanism for selecting values 2. enable jumping to desired values 3. separate the components A set of drop-downs or text boxes will do just fine in satisfying the above requirements. I'll write the widget for you if you want, as soon as I'm done with e4s layout. On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 5:55 PM, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > Ok timeEntry it is.
