Improvements to the user interface

GDDM V3R2 General Information
GC33-0866-03



Several improvements have been made to GDDM-OS/2 Link's user interface.

As a result, the GDDM-OS/2 Link component of GDDM 3.1 is fully compliant with the graphical model of the CUA 89 (Common User Access 89) guidelines, which are described in the SAA CUA Advanced Interface Design Guide, SC26-4582. The improvements to GDDM-OS/2 Link's user interface include:

  • Improved recovery from error conditions.
    
    
  • The saving of user preferences in OS2.INI between invocations of GDDM-OS/2 Link.
    
    
  • Prefixing dialog titles and messages with the short session name of the owning session.
    
    
  • A new "automatic system update" dialog. This dialog is displayed whenever GDDM-OS/2 Link service updates are downloaded from the host. Also, service update itself requires less manual intervention.
    
    
  • Consistency between operation and dialog titles.
