Joanie, "Don't show this again" is a good idea. I'll keep that in mind. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joanmarie Diggs Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 3:27 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: Embosser Setup: Question 4 I don't feel strongly one way or another about warning dialogs, so I'll go with whatever others think. The way SP1 works in this regard is fine. If people feel super strongly about dialogs, would it be possible to add the dialogs the dialog people want, but include one of those "don't show this warning again" checkboxes? --Joanie -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Sullivan Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 3:02 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Embosser Setup: Question 4 Warren & Joanie, Thanks for the quick responses. When George returns tomorrow from St. Pat's evening out, we'll hear from him about Question 3. I'm glad to hear that the "overload" isn't something you see as a problem. (Now the programmer sheepishly admits that it appears that what you've really been asking for right along is ... exactly what you've been asking for.) Here's the last issue (I think). I remain convinced that we shouldn't be popping up messages as the user steps through items in a list. However, George suggests that we should pop up messages as soon as possible (e.g. when Tab is pushed or the OK button clicked) if the user enters an invalid or out-of-range number in the dialog. So, for example, if the user types "50" for the number of lines per page, we would immediately correct it (perhaps to 27) as now, but also put up a dialog immediately. I'm warming to this idea, though I still don't think that we should put up such warnings when wholesale adjustments are made to the various values because the user has switched embosssers or paper sizes. Question 4 (which is actually two questions) is this: - Should we have the popup warnings as the user leaves a numeric field with an invalid value? - Should we have the popup warnings if values are adjusted when the user changes embosser or paper sizes? - Peter * * * * This message is via list duxhelp at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to <duxhelp-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
