UI Modelling

[SamJolly]

I am trying to model a proposed UI for a windows client. This is for a DB application. It would be ideal if I could drag the Table columns from the Project Explorer onto the Custom 'Screen' class. This I can do, but it creates a normal class for each column with stereotype options that are completely different to those offered by the Custom UIControl.

Is it possible to drag a column across, and define it as a textbox on the 'Screen' class?

Perhaps I am going about this UI modelling in the wrong way. Any ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,
just a quick idea would be to draw an association from the GIU element to the table and assigning a source role from the column in question. Would that help?

Thomas,

Thanks. I was just hoping that I could drag the columns across from the project explorer as a class of which the stereotype could be changed to a GUI type e.g Textbox.

However these options are not present as they are in the UI element. I guess it is not possible.

However I will play with your idea.

Thanks,

Sam
