Database-centric Development of Menus andGraphic User Interfaces
R.B. Aggarwal, Amit Dhawan, Jay Shankar Kumar · Defence Science Journal · 2007
The database-centric approach to graphic user interface (GUI) development, quickly andeasily manages standardisation and modification of labels and look and feel of controls bykeeping various control-creation data into the database. The runtime generation of controlsprovides the flexibility to control their creation and modification issues. This method freezes theapplication code once the development is over. The process of recompilation is eliminated whencreation or modification of controls is done. Dynamic controls such as menus, label, text box,button, combo box, list box, group box, check box, radio button, tab control, spin button, treecontrol can be easily formed and controlled using this approach.
