Some Design Features

Friendly GUI design

A lot of efforts have been made in this software to make a very friendly GUI. Some special GUI features, such as Image Button, 3D Line, 3D Panel with image background, Special List with image items, and Tab component, are not provided by JDK1.1. All these features will make the software more user-oriented.

Example: Images in the task list to make the software status clear.


 


Robust exception detection

Another important feature of this software is it's robust exception detection. Almost all possible errors or exceptions can be detected and shown using well-designed error or warning dialogs.

Example: More than one task are selected for editing

Read in a task file is also possible

Since users may have the same stock tasks all the time, it will be very bothering for them if they need to define their stock tasks again and again.  Thus, it is very necessary to allow the users to input a task file to the software. Luckily, UDSOM has this option. Users just input their task files as a parameter to the applet. Please keep in mind that the task file should be ASCII and in the format of

STOCK SYMBOL1
TASK FUNCTION1
STOCK SYMBOL2
TASK FUNCTION2
