Andy80hi all15:41
Andy80the scrollable list used, for example, in MicroB browser when you start it, or... for example, in Contacts application ecc... can be done with a QTableView class?15:42

lcukAndy80, you mean kinetics by default?16:28
Andy80lcuk: no, I mean the widget itself.... I just need a scrollable list16:28
lcukisnt that not just a normal list/gridview type thing..16:29
lcukat least scrollable content list should be?16:29
Andy80don't know,... I just asked if I can reproduce the same widget using a QTableView. maybe adjusting some properties to make it look similar16:30

mikhashi, are those confirm dialogs with "yes/no" buttons on the right side really the recommended way?17:11
aSIMULAtorwell, depends on what the step prior to that is, maybe it can be avoided17:16
mikhaswell, I let the user click an icon, brings up a menu with things like "abort game". I think the user needs the chance to confirm this option17:18
aSIMULAtoryes then yes/no to the right is the correct way17:18
mikhasok, thanks17:18

mikhasshould labels in an input form activate the focus of the belonging input field when clicked?18:14
mikhasthe application manager's "add catalog" dialog does it, the calendar app's "new event" dialog doesnt18:16
alteregomikhas: I think sandman's point was, no other app even seems to use labels.18:16
mikhaswe'll get an answer here about that, too =D18:17
mikhaswell, hopefully18:17
alteregoUnless it's a button selector, type implementation.18:17
alteregoI might just implement button selectors to be compliant ;)18:18
alteregoand render correctly ^.^18:18
* mikhas reads the UI spec18:18
alteregoI think he has a point, none, that I can see, of the other applications eem to do it that way. Though, admittedly adding a catalog is a bit more complex than most other use cases.18:20
mikhasor does page 60 of the hildon 2.2 widget ui spec should be read as "dont use labels for hildon touch entries"?18:27
mikhasdoes ... should? meh. "meant to be read as"18:27
aSIMULAtor[06:14pm] <mikhas> should labels in an input form activate the focus of the belonging input field when clicked?19:09
aSIMULAtorsorry i was taking a nap19:09
*** jevin has joined #maemo-ui19:09
aSIMULAtorbut, do you mean, if you click on the text label next to the input field?19:09
mikhasaSIMULAtor, yes exactly19:09
aSIMULAtorno it shouldn't select the input field...it's just a label :P19:10
mikhasgood, app manager: wrong, calendar: right19:10
mikhasnow, labels in general, for hildon touch entries: good or bad?19:10
lcukin some uis the selection iwll occur based on the tree of components, but not all19:10
aSIMULAtorooh just saw app manager and what u just said19:12
aSIMULAtorat least in some other dialogs yeah, it doesn't behave like app manager label+input field19:13

alterego~.23:37
alteregoOops23:37
alteregoAha, contacts, create a new account. Uses labels.23:41
alteregoThey are vertically aligned to centre. :)23:41
alteregoTo kick a dead horse ;)23:42
alteregoClicking on labels, does not select entry, but that wasn't ever my issue :)23:42
alteregoSooo, now I'm wondering whether to file a bug. :)23:47
mikhas(I think the qt thing is a style bug, regardless of what sandman said. labels in a form layout need to be vertically centered by default)23:49
mikhasI think most text items are vertically centered anyway, on maemo23:49
alteregoYeah, I think it should be customisable, and at the most, default to top alignment to maintain backward compatibility.23:52
alteregoI don't mind setting the alignment flag on the form layout. It's what I tried to do :)23:52
mikhaswhy default on top alignment for maemo5?23:53
mikhaswhat backward compat?23:53
alteregoNo, not maemo, sorry, mainline Qt.23:54
mikhasthe desktop is a separate issue23:54
alteregoYeah, I guess you're right,23:54
