Dialog Boxes and Views

A collection of views and dialog boxes from various desktop products.

Context Developer tools need to pack a lot of features into familiar interface elements. Not only are the tools very powerful, the abstractions of the underlying concepts are often quite sophisticated. Also, developers expect that each user interface element will look and work according to industry standards.	Solution Here we see a grid view layout, a dialog box, and a couple of wizard panels. Each item solves a different problem, and each mechanism is an appropriate choice given the problem domain.
What I Like I like how the grid layout (borrowed heavily from Microsoft Visual Studio .NET) can accommodate a large amount of complex data, but it exhibits enough behavior (grouping, collapsing, et al.) that it can be made accessbile to less experienced users.	What I'd Change There are always little things you'd like to fix... some wording here, some spacing there, some icon selection here. On whole, however, I'm pretty happy with how well these particular items do their job.
