GUI Designs


Question

I have no idea where to put this but I would like to know what's the easiest way to make "working" GUI mockups, I'm really only interested in interface creation and no programming, as I'm dyeslexic I find it very hard to program manually so GUI tools are prefered.

No they don't have to be usable for real software, just usable as proof of concept or something...

If you want to just do a mock up its easy enough just to place the controls you want on a form using something like Delphi or even VBA (part of MS-Office in case you don't know)

Howdy icecaveman,

edje comes to my mind. It's basically a Design/Code abstraction thingy.

look here. The clock is fully functional withough

a single line of C code. Though it uses SOME pseudo scripting langauge called Embryo.

Edje works currently on most unix-flavours and a set of embedded devices.

kindest regards,

Moritz "neofeed" Angermann

If you JUST want an interface all you need is photoshop

If you want to be able to interact with it I would reccomend using Flash (with photoshop)

Photoshop can't do predesigned standard windows controls..well, easily. Nor can it do system-native fonts (i.e. clear-type). while its good for a general layout look, its not good for a final look.

You could also use a program like SharpDevelop (http://www.sharpdevelop.net) It's actually a complete freeware development suite for .NET (VB, C# and C++) but you can also use the form designer to draw interfaces. Of course, these interfaces won't do anything. For example, if you want to open a window when clicking a button you have to add 1 line of code.

Thank you all, well I think I should go for flash since it should not have as many limits when WinFX is out.

Will try SharpDevelop, few lines of code is ok but it seems to be only enable to do most simple designs.
