I tried to use UMLDesigner to draw my project related diagrams. I see there is a Arrange functionality that can automatically layout diagram elements and links to save some manual work. But when i used it in my Activity diagrams it designed it upside down.
Here is an example. I created following simple activity diagram.
And here is how auto layout result for the same model looks like: auto layout.
The initial node is at the bottom and the final nodes are on top. But i want it the other way - to start at the top and end at the bottom. Is there a way to configure this?
I tried pinning starting and final nodes but it just made a mess after arranging the rest automatically. I searched the settings but couldn't find anything. I use UML Designer Version 7.1.0.
Thanks ahead for any help.
I am sorry there is no way from the preferences to change this behaviour.
This is because I never provide a specific layout for this diagram. Please, fill an issue in the bug tracker and it will be fixed for the next version of UML Designer as it is really easy to fix: https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/UML-Designer/issues.
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi all !!
I'm newbie to android, Can i get any solutions to make my android app layout that fits in all screens.
If there is any tutorial on it, that would be appreciated !!
Thanks,
Create the following folders in res and add the xml in that
res/layout-small
res/layout-normal
res/layout-large
res/layout-xlarge
And open it from studio layout and make changes.
this link helps you.
The Android resource system gives you the tools to provide alternate resources based on the available width, height, or smallest width — important measurements that serve as the basis for choosing when to change our UI based on the space available.
Width and Breakpoints
Width is perhaps the most important dimension when it comes to choosing when to change your UI. This is because width is the basis for the breakpoint system.
A very good example is here
Downloaded eval for Teechart for Monotouch iOS. Looks very promising. Could not find documentation though except windows help chm. Are there any docs available on the web?
Also running an example on iPad discovered that pan and zoom are extremely slow unless set to Auto.
chart3.Chart.Aspect.ZoomScrollStyle = Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.Aspect.ZoomScrollStyles.Auto;
Why?

Yes, you can download on our web site throught this link.
Also running an example on iPad discovered that pan and zoom are extremely slow unless set to Auto.
Why?
This was the reason we introduced the ZoomScrollStyles property, setting it to Auto, the chart will use the standard zoom and scroll gestures used for iOS (for most common 2D chart styles), meanwhile setting it to Manual, the chart will make use of the default zoom and scroll functionality based on the TeeChart for NET product.
Is there a way to just lay everything out in the "best" possible manner, using the entire drawing area available? Or do I have to position the various elements myself?
You can try using the "Lay Out Shapes" dialog in Visio 2003. Go to the Shape menu and click on the "Lay Out Shapes" menu item. It can have some interesting results, but it might help if you play around with it.
yes it is possible.

You can import your database into visio and it will create diagrams from it..
I'm updating some of our legacy C++ code to use the "MFC feature pack" that Microsoft released for Visual Studio 2008. We've used the new classes to derive our application from CFrameWndEx, and are applying the Office 2007 styles to give our application a more modern appearance. This gives us gradient filled window titles, status bars etc, and the use of the ribbon toolbars.
However, our application contains some owner drawn controls, and I'd like to update these to match the color scheme used by the feature pack. Ideally I'd like to know the light and shaded toolbar colors that are currently in use.
I've had a hunt around the documentation and web and have not yet found anything. Does anyone know how to find this information out?
[Edit]
In particular we need to find out which colors are being used at runtime. You can change the appearance of your application at runtime using the new static function CMFCVisualManager::SetDefaultManager.
The following msdn page shows you what kind of styles are available, in particular the Office2007 look:

Have you looked in the MFC source code, which you'll find in something like
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\src\mfc
Looks like CMFCVisualManager offers several methods for getting color information, e.g.
CMFCVisualManager::GetSmartDockingBaseGuideColors()
CMFCVisualManager::GetToolbarHighlightColor()
Take a look at the MSDN docs for CMFCVisualManager.
Good suggestion, but unfortunately they just return various shades of grey, when currently I'm running my application with the style CMFCVisualManagerOffice2007::Office2007_LunaBlue
Annoyingly the msdn help is "under construction" so doesn't even tell you what they are supposed to be doing!
afxGlobalData contains some useful information on the current colours, brushes and fonts being used by the MFC Feature Pack. In particular I use afxGlobalData.m_clrBarFace when painting my own control bar backgrounds.
(note that I am not in front of my work PC so the above syntax isn't spot on.)
Have you tried: 2007 Office System Document: UI Style Guide for Solutions and Add Ins
?
I guess you could use your favourite image editor and pick the colors from a screen grab.
"I guess you could use your favourite image editor and pick the colors from a screen grab."
This is essentially what I'm doing at the moment, and I've defined a list of constants from which I pull out the colours. Doesn't seem very elegant though!

#GateKiller, the OP isn't developing an Office 2007 add-in, so the UI guidelines won't really help. It's an MFC application using the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack which allows MFC apps to take on the Office 2007 look and feel.

CMFCVisualManagerOffice2007::GetTabFrameColors - the clrFace output param is grey?
Perhaps they're all masks on top of a single base hue for each theme? Assuming you can determine which color scheme is in effect with CMFCVisualManagerOffice2007::GetStyle(), perhaps you can figure out what that hue is and then do some masking with the GetxxxColor() methods.
