Picture Perfect: Centering Frames in SAS/AF ®
Greg McLean · 2008
The ability to create professional looking and easy to use GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications is both a skill as well as an art form that is usually appreciated by the end user. Of course the primary goal of the GUI is to allow the end user to perform the task the application was intended for. However, the way the application is presented to the user will have an effect on productivity, acceptability and ease of use. With different monitor sizes, screen resolutions and SAS/AF Frame sizes, it is very important that all Frames be viewed in a common or standardized manner. So why not have everything centered!! This paper will illustrate a simple method that can be used to center Frames within your GUI applications. The intended audience for this paper is SAS developers with a medium to advanced knowledge of SAS/AF and SCL (Source Component Language) software.
