Windows 7 Application Tutorial: Understanding Win7 Windows, Dialogs, and Wizards

window, we have already done the above, in the general window, such as Win7 Explorer window, we can see the search box in the upper right corner, in addition, some effects of Aero interface It has also been widely used. For example, each window exhibits a translucent glass effect. When the mouse pointer moves over the maximized button in the window control button area in the upper right corner of the window, these buttons will show a crystal-like luster and are quite beautiful.

Note:

Windows Aero is a redesigned user interface that Microsoft has used since the last version of Win7, and the transparent glass feels a glimpse of the user. The word "Aero" is an acronym, which is an acronym of Authentic, Energetic, Reflective and Open, meaning that the Aero interface is three-dimensional and shocking. , with a sense of perspective and a large user interface. Windows Aero can be used with Windows Vista PCs that use a compatible graphics adapter and run Home Premium, Business, Ultimate or Enterprise Edition, giving your PC a new look. Windows Aero delivers a high-quality user experience that makes it easy to see and process information and deliver a smoother, more stable desktop experience.

Dialogs

, a secondary window that contains buttons and various options through which specific commands or tasks can be completed.

The dialog is different from the window. It doesn't have a maximize button, no minimize button, and most can't change the shape size. (The "Open File" dialog box can be resized.) It is a way for human-computer communication. When the user sets the dialog box, the computer will execute the corresponding command. There are radio buttons, check boxes, etc. in the dialog box.

Win7 and the previous Windows version of XP, the two have significant progress and difference, we will use the dialog box for copying files between the two as an example to make a comparison, you can clearly feel that Under Win7, we can learn more through the dialog box.

We save a TXT text file of the "Win7 Copy Dialog" on the WIN7 computer desktop and other directories. Then copy the copy on the desktop to the directory where the same file is saved. Since a file with the same name already exists in the directory, a copy file confirmation dialog box appears. Similarly, we also sit in the same experiment under XP, let's look at the difference between the two.

From the two pictures we can see that when copying a file encounters a file with the same name, WINXP has only one simple option to ask if we want to replace the file, and Win7 is more detailed. Not only does the display of the same name need to be replaced, but it also provides details of the two files to give us more choices. Let us confirm whether to replace according to the actual situation.

Wizards

There are various wizards in WIN7 to help us set system options or use programs. Of course, the wizard interface and icons of WIN7 are also more beautiful than XP. In Win7, the "Next" and "Cancel" options in the previous XP version are retained, and remain the same as the XP interface, still in the lower right corner of the wizard interface, and the "Back" button is moved to the upper left of the wizard interface. angle.
