UI Controls

[Rob_M]

I like the UI screen modelling tool especially since modelling a UI is not something UML is known for.

We have developed our own set of UI elements as extensions to the QT toolkit (www.trolltech.com) We would like to add stereotypes for these elements along with our own "special icons" that you have for your own GUI elements.  Is there anyway that we can do this?

I realize that we can create new stereotypes, but can we also have our own graphic associated with it?

Hi Rob,

We plan to add the ability for users to associate their own icons with stereotypes soon.  This would be similar to the existing setup for the built-in <<jsp page>>, <<web page>> stereotypes, for example.

Currently users can associate .emf/.wmf metafiles with stereotypes, but this replaces the entire graphic for the element- obsuring any attributes/operations.  It may suffice for your particular purposes, or at least provide a work around in the short term.

Regards,
Ben

What's new about what you planned (add the ability for users to associate their own icons with stereotypes).
