Abstract: A system and method for laying out graphical user interface elements at a client device. A client device receives a set of containers, each container including program instructions and specifications. The program instructions of each container are executed to determine a size and position of each graphical user interface element. Each type of container has corresponding logic upon which sizing and positioning of graphical user interface elements is based. The client device may receive data metadata descriptive of the graphical user interface elements and application specifications. Sizing and positioning of the graphical user interface elements may be based on the data metadata and application specifications. A layout process may recursively descend a structure of containers to determine sizes and positions of each GUI element.

Abstract: A method of viewing a high resolution display on a low resolution development system display for a digital device includes selecting a target device and identifying an image form for the selected device. An image form displays a realistic form of the selected target device. A form factor is selected which represents the display capabilities of the target device. The image form size is adjusted such that the developer may see text in proper proportion to the image form so as to simulate the look of the high resolution display of the target device. Object code for the target device is generated which contains the proper font size to correspond to the image form and font on the development display.

Abstract: A WYSIWYG visual programming environment for programming applications for portable computer devices is provided. The developer selects a form skin based on the underlying portable computer device that the developer intends the application to execute on. The form skin appears to the developer as a graphic modeled after the actual device. The developer is able to drag and drop GUI elements onto the form, where they appear at approximately the same size and resolution as they would to the user of the actual device, regardless of the resolution used on the developer's computing device. The developer is able to associate code with the GUI elements, as well as any softkeys that appear on the form skin. The developer is able to test the application by emulating the hardware of the portable device, and operating the device using the form skin. Through the form skin, the developer is able to see nearly exactly how the application will look and operate on the underlying portable device without having to leave the development environment.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于便携式计算机设备的编程应用程序的WYSIWYG视觉编程环境。 开发人员根据开发者打算应用程序执行的底层便携式计算机设备选择一个表单外观。 窗体外观以开发人员的形式显示在实际设备之后。 开发人员可以将GUI元素拖放到表单上，而不管开发人员的计算设备上使用的分辨率如何，它们的大小和分辨率与实际设备的用户大致相同。 开发人员可以将代码与GUI元素以及出现在表单外观上的任何软键相关联。 开发人员可以通过模拟便携式设备的硬件来测试应用程序，并使用窗体外观来操作设备。 通过形式皮肤，开发人员能够几乎准确地了解应用程序在底层便携式设​​备上的外观和操作，而无需离开开发环境。
