------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Aug 15 22:52:44 -0700 2006 ------- Input Field can be used to make e-form which user can fill in specific area while others are protected. Another kind of e-from is made in MS Office using “Text Form Field”, and open in OpenOffice. Well in OpenOffice, users have to click on the input field, then popup a dialog, then input the value in the dialog, then click OK, then dialog closed and value of input field is updated, then click the next Input Field and repeat these steps. As shown in Figure 2. If the e-form has a lot of fields, the behavior of OpenOffice becomes very low efficiency, and the user complain it as almost unusable. This patch is an improvement of the original dialog, to make the input of large amount of input fields much easier. We add “Previous” and “Next” buttons to the dialog. If the user press these buttons, it will save the current input field, then move to previous or next input field, and display the value of previous or next input field in the edit area of dialog for user to edit it. In this way, the users can edit all the input fields without leave the dialog. We add shortcut key for all the buttons, so the user can operate all the functions without using mouse. And, we make the dialog position just above the current Input Field, so the user can know which field is in edit clearly. Finally, we make the field update instantly, this means, when the user modify the content in dialog, the field content will update immediately, no need to press “OK” button. This make the user has some similar feeling as inline edit. By the way, if user modify the content instantly, and then click “Cancel” button, it will close the dialog and restore original as usual. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
